I've had this question for a while on movement.

So I plan on creating a falldown-like game and created an obstacle that patrols based on positions in an array. But the idea behind this and a couple other games like flappy bird is that the obstacles actually COME at you instead of you actually moving forward, right? So how would I be able to set the velocity to move forward so that it comes at you, while it patrols to certain points?

 

I don't know how practical it would be, but I think you could just have everything except for the player in a game object that you move as needed. As long as the patrolling character's points are also in the containing game object, it should still work, I think.

 

Yeah that sounds like an alright idea. What if I just animated the object with a keyframe and kept the velocity going upwards? Does that sound legit? Then I can spawn more animated objects with Invoke Repeat right?
