Map Parsing

I finally got the tmx file format from the Tiled level editor to parse insidy unity. Right now map scrolling works when I move the cursor to the edges of the screen or when I press WASD or the arrow keys.

I did some tests with a bunch of units and its nice to see how they all spread out and not intersect. But there is still work to be done as there is not yet any proper path finding included.

That’s why in Tiled I started adding a meta layer that will contain information like colliding areas for pathfinding, water zones and perhaps some other information that I haven’t decided yet on.

Next up

Unit Movement part 2 Some basic unit movement has now been added. Right now units can be selected and moved accross the screen. Each unit has its own collision radius and makes sure that no other unit moves into the same position as another unit.

Crowd movement Today I managed to get a bunch of soldiers running. The special thing is that they do not intersect each other and nicely pay attention to each other as a group. Planning to add some sample vehicles soon as well

Placing enemies on the map This is more a smal update but I started placing enemies on the map so that I can start writing their Ai I might change the enemy color at a later time but for now they are green.
