FPS Tutorial - part 2

About

This tutorial was published for Unity 1.x, and is currently being revised for Unity 2.x. The PDF has not yet been updated, but the project file was modified to compile with Unity 2.5. An updated FPS tutorial will be linked from the tutorials page.

This series of Tutorials takes you through the basics of making a first person shooter game in Unity. At the end, you'll have created a game with selectable weapons (the classics: a machine-gun and a rocket-launcher) with limited ammo, AI enemies who follow waypoints and attack on sight, sentry guns, mortal player and replay.

Steps

The tutorial is split into 3 separate parts:

Part 1

Introduces fundamental game programming concepts and gives tips on how to think like a games programmer.

Part 2

Details how to implement switchable weapons, combat logic and some visual tweaks

Part 3

Implements the enemy AI, waypoint navigation, audio effects and an in-game GUI.
