Tank pathfinding v2

Well, the new pathfinding + steering code is in place. And it works decently.

Made with Unity3D, Aron Granberg's C# A* implementation, and my custom steering/obstacle avoidance code.

Currently, using simple waypoints. And as you can see near the end, one of the tanks gets stuck because it can't find a nearby waypoint in order to get out of a bad situation. :)

Oh, sorry for all the camera faffing about. I tried to keep things steady, but I forgot to do it.

was this a project you completed for an educational class at Full Sail?

@fattycorpsl Nope, this is for a game I am working on.

looks awesome - chibi tanks on mission :D

How long did it take to accomplish this? In your opinion, what was the hardest part of it all?

[djtechrat]

@Satori89 About a week of coding and test. I'm still pretty new steering code, being this is my first full-3D game.

The hardest part was to come up with a simple obstacle detection/avoidance system that didn't eat up too much CPU, since it all runs from C# script.

looks good enough, but u need to work on a simulated movement, to move like a real tank

dj where did you get the tank models from etc...? Does unity come with some premade test models?

[Aoleon]

Can you post the scene so we can check it out?
