Today I want to show You how simply add something to make your scene more interesting. It is very simple AI algorithm  driving a light (I have used universar rendering pipie line to add 2d lights)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I have used light because i wanted to experiment with this feature but it can be replaced with transparent texture. It will be more efficient,  lights consume lot of caluation power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"http:\/\/crashedcreativity.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/srpol-platformer-scene04-Android-Unity-2019.3.5f1-Personal-PREVIEW-PACKAGES-IN-USE-_DX11_-2021-01-27-18-47-46.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I have created C# component:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>using System.Collections;\nusing System.Collections.Generic;\nusing UnityEngine;\n\npublic class GlowWorm : MonoBehaviour\n{\n    public Transform target;\n    public float speed = 1;\n    public float randomize = 1;\n    \/\/ Start is called before the first frame update\n    void Start()\n    {\n        \n    }\n\n    \/\/ Update is called once per frame\n    void Update()\n    {\n        float step = speed * Time.deltaTime; \/\/ Vector3.Distance(target.position, transform.position); ; \/\/ calculate distance to move\n        \n        transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target.position, step);\n        transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x+Random.Range(-randomize, randomize), transform.position.y + Random.Range(-randomize, randomize), transform.position.z);\n        \n    }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>As You can see this component will drive game object toward the target with &#8220;speed&#8221; velocity. Additionaly this movement will be disturbed with random fluctuation with &#8220;randomize&#8221; intensity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can place this component on light objects. Set target to &#8220;player&#8221; object. You can also chain lights that they can have differetnt target an will follow each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This script can be extended. Eg When minimal distance threshold i exceeded then speed become negative if maximal distance threshold is exceeded then speed becomes postive again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
