5. Crowd Control | Unity AI Programming Essentials

The Fame Crowd Simulation API

The Fame Crowd Simulation API by TechBizXccelerator is available at Unity Asset Store under the name Crowd Simulator API for $45 at the time of writing this book. It allows you to create groups and customize steering behaviors. For our crowd demo, we will create a demo with many spaceships traveling in a group.

Setting up a scene with Fame

To create our demo, first create a new scene with a plane as the ground. Like most of the AI plugins in this book, Fame Crowd Simulation also supports Unity's built-in terrain system, but for this demo, a basic ground plane will be fine. Fame also uses a singleton pattern that has one class that manages everything for crowd management, so create an empty GameObject and call it Crowd Manager. Then, import Fame if it is not already in your project, and attach the FameManager script from Fame Assets/FameScripts/FameManager.cs to the Crowd Manager GameObject. This initial setup is shown in the following screenshot:
