A lot of people asked about making 2D maps and how to use different types of tiles like water vs dirt. For this lesson I created a couple of simple images to use for tile maps. This asset will be sort of abstract data, and can be “skinned” with specific tiles at a later point.

Different creatures can be different sizes, and accordingly may occupy different numbers of tiles, or be able to reach different tiles (such as for attacking). At the top of the class I added a "tileSize" const that is set to 5 and represents the number of "feet" a tile on the game board spans.

Although I imagine that for the most part the player will only be controlling medium sized units (which occupy a single tile), I also want to make A.I. “Brain” asset that controls the strategy of what actions an Entity uses and how or when it uses them. While you can move through the tile, you can not end here.

In that project, we had some unique challenges thanks to a non-square board where tiles were optional. In addition we had to consider tile heights – and whether or not a unit could jump as high as needed. In contrast, the pathfinding in this lesson will be for a 2D square board with no missing tiles.

There are different actions for moving, and is why you see “Stride” vs “Step” A step is only a single tile of movement and can avoid acts of opportunity, whereas a Stride can move much further, but does provoke acts of opportunity. Create a new folder at Assets -> Scripts -> Component named Position.
