How to Calculate Direction in Unity - A Unity Math Tutorial

In this unity tutorial, we take a look at how to calculate direction in Unity! This is useful if you want to know the distance between an gameobject, or if you want to create an enemy system where it chases the player! We take a look at what most believe is a useless method, but trust me! It's important. We look at how to calculate direction with the use of Pythagorean theorem!

Are you enjoying the new Coding Math series? Do you want more math related videos? Do you want me to dive deeper into the actual mathematics? Or keep it high level? Also! What are your thoughts on a Sunday release schedule at 4pm eastern time compared to Mondays at 9am eastern time?

This is the best explanation of this I have seen. I knew this but, I am not disappointed on watching

[TheSteveTheDragon]

I'm still new but I've seen a lot of talk about normalizing the magnitude and it always left me confused! I always wondered why you needed to normalize and this video explains it wonderfully!

Hey man, so I'm a beginner programmer in his first year of college. I have a had a lot of trouble understanding how the math works in Unity. This video made so many things make sense to me and opened up so many doors when it comes to programming. Thank you for making this amazing and informative video! I will be checking out your other videos on math in Unity and hopefully they help me understand more. Thank you again and keep up the great work! :D
