Third Person Point & Click

The Point Click movement type will work with the Move Towards ability to move the character to the clicked location.

Setup

A Point & Click character can be setup by performing the following:

  1. Create a new character using the Character Manager. The perspective should be Third Person and have a Movement Type value of PointClick.
  2. Add a Pathfinding Movement ability (such as NavMeshAgent Movement) to the character. The Pathfinding Movement ability should be positioned above the Move Towards ability.
  3. On the Unity Input component ensure Disable Cursor is set to false.
  4. If you’d like the character to move at different speeds to the destination the Speed Change ability should be added to the character.
