In this section, we'll create our own scene with flocks of objects and implement the flocking behavior in C#. There are two main components in this example: the individual boid behavior and a main controller to maintain and lead the crowd.
Our scene hierarchy is shown in the following screenshot:
The scene hierarchy
As you can see, we have several boid entities, UnityFlock, under a controller named UnityFlockController. The UnityFlock entities are individual boid objects and they'll reference to their parent UnityFlockController entity to use it as a leader. The UnityFlockController entity will update the next destination point randomly once it reaches the current destination point.
The UnityFlock prefab is a prefab with just a cube mesh and a UnityFlock script. We can use any other mesh representation for this prefab to represent something more interesting, like birds.
