Enemy Avoidance System - README

Link to game: https://gman17.itch.io/week-62

Overview

This system makes enemies move away from the player when inside a specified radius. Movement is restricted to allowed tiles on the tilemap, and enemies prioritize avoidance points based on their relative position (left or right) to the player.

Features

• Dynamic Avoidance: Enemies avoid the player based on their position.
• Tile Validation: Moves only on allowed tiles.
• Configurable Settings: Adjust radius, speed, angles, and logs in the Inspector.
• Debugging Tools: Enable logs for movement, tile checks, and detection.

Scripts

EnemyAvoidance.cs (Player Script)

• Purpose: Detects enemies and calculates avoidance points.
• Key Settings:
  • avoidRadius: Avoidance detection radius.
  • angleStep: Step size for rotating to find valid tiles.
  • maxAttempts: Maximum angles to test for valid points.
  • logAvoidance: Toggle logs in the Inspector.

EnemyMover.cs (Enemy Script)

• Purpose: Moves enemies toward the target avoidance point.
• Key Settings:
  • speed: Movement speed toward the target.
  • stoppingDistance: Minimum distance to stop at the target.
  • logMovement: Toggle logs in the Inspector.

How It Works

1. Enemy Detection:
   • Finds enemies within the radius using OverlapCircleAll.
2. Avoidance Point Calculation:
   • Determines if the enemy is on the left or right of the player.
   • Searches for the first valid tile by rotating outward in steps.
3. Movement:
   • Moves smoothly to the target while validating tiles.
