How would I have objects surround the player?

Hey is there a way that I can have 5 objects surround a player and form a pentagon shape?

 

I think you're referring to objects following the player. If so then why not make them child objects of the player?

 

well, you know that a pentagram is made up of 5 points around a circle at 72 degrees.

use that knowledge + trig to calculate the x/z positions.

 

Try this.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public class Test : MonoBehaviour
3. {
4.     public GameObject target;
5.     public GameObject cloneFrom;
6.     public int amount;
7.     public float radius;
8.  
9.     void Start()
10.     {
11.         Surround (target, cloneFrom, amount, radius);
12.     }
13.  
14.     // this function replicate the object surrounding the target
15.     public void Surround(GameObject target, GameObject prefab, int amount, float radius)
16.     {
17.         float angle = 360f / amount;
18.  
19.         for (int i = 0; i < amount; i++)
20.         {
21.             GameObject go = Instantiate (prefab) as GameObject;
22.  
23.             go.transform.Rotate (Vector3.up, angle*i);
24.             go.transform.position = target.transform.position - (go.transform.forward * radius);
25.            // OR  go.GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>().Warp(target.transform.position-(go.transform.forward*radius));
26.         }
27.     }
28. }
29.
