Player Interaction With NPCs in Unity C# - Game AI Mastery Part 3
Learn to make a human player interact with NPCs by being a follower or leader in a group, being able to set the formation of the group like in Arma or Bannerlord.
We'll also be improving a lot of scripts from the previous videos, making a better wander script, improving our visual debugging tools, and adding smarter AI behaviors where a leader will stop and wait for stragglers, and followers will run to catch up with the group.
Then we'll add some UI panels to manage the group that the player belongs to, changing formations, increasing / decreasing rank, and spawning new NPCs.
For the UI, I'm using Fantasy UI Borders by Kenney, check it out, an amazing asset and free to use: https://kenney.nl/assets/fantasy-ui-b...
