Tutorial #3
From Blog Post: Unity Basic AI State Machine Tutorials
Youtube – ADVANCED AI IN UNITY (Made EASY) – STATE MACHINE BEHAVIORS
By: Blackthornprod
NOTES
This tutorial actually dealt with using the Unity Animator to create a sort of state machine setup. You can add behaviours to animation states, which are already setup in a very similar way to the last AI State Machine tutorial I did from Joey the Lantern (Tutorial #2 in this recent tutorial list).
These behaviours already have methods such as OnStateEnter, OnStateExit and OnStateUpdate (as well as several other more animation focused methods). This tutorial uses these to setup the logic for their state machine.
While this seems nice for getting something running very quickly, especially from an animation focused perspective, I think I would rather use the setups from the other tutorials that start more from scratch and allow you to develop the full system yourself. I would much rather follow Tutorial #1 and Tutorial #2 than this one.
