Overview of this book

Building a successful real-time strategy game is challenging, because of both the complex mechanics and the need to strike a balance between different elements, ensuring that players enjoy creating and executing strategies against the game's AI. Creating an RTS Game in Unity 2023 will teach you how to install and set up the Unity game engine, create a new 3D project, and build a level editor to make it easier to modify and add maps to a game. The RTS game will start to take shape while you learn to implement different core systems such as melee and ranged battles, unit spawners, camera controls, dynamic mapping generation, basic enemy AI, and the pathfinder algorithm. You'll also get to grips with implementing command units to perform actions, crafting and producing resources, basic physics and collision detection, and building an RTS game from scratch using C# and the latest features of the Unity game engine. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to make professional and high-quality end-to-end RTS games using the best practices and techniques from the gaming industry.

Part 2: The Combat Units

In this second part of the book, you will learn everything that is needed to create combat units in RTS games, starting with how to create configurable unit characters, with different types, and how to spawn them on the map.

Then, you will learn how to select the spawned units on the map and give them commands to perform actions, such as moving to a position or attacking an enemy, as well as how to implement close combat and ranged attacks.

Finally, you will see how we can use the Pathfinder algorithm in the Unity Engine to help our units always find the best path to move around the map, avoiding other units and GameObjects.

This part includes the following chapters:
