Pathfinding?

Hi, I'm trying to remake an old game called ladybug, it looks a lot like Pacman. But I have a problem: I'm pretty new to programming and unity, and don't understand how to make the insects, they are a lot like the spooks in Pacman. I know I could use pathfinding but this doesn't work for me: This is one of my first games, and I don't know how to make the script myself. I know I could download A*, but this doesn't work for me because this isn't really precisely, and I need to use it in a small maze. Does someone have a solution?

You can see the movement of the insects should be here.

 

@PlayMyrthe888 Why wouldn't the A* algorithm work in this case? This seems like a perfectly good solution for pathfinding in a maze such as this.

 

these bugs don't look like they are tracking the player actually, it doesn't look that you need pathfinding, maybe you can just set them to move randomly, when they find a wall they turn to the open corner, or randomly change direction

 

When I scan, it skips places where the enemy's should be able to walk

 

Ty, but it looks like they are more likely to chose the path which leads to the player

 

Hmm it doesn't look like it on the video, many times they even turn back when they will collide with the player and walk back and forth for no reason when theres a clear path

 

Can you post a screenshot of the walkability? I believe this is possible, but it has been a long time since i've used A* PP. I've always opted to write my own. At brief glace it appears the wall thickness being thinner than the path might be the issue.

 

Ty, I solved the problem by rescaling the maze, which changed the thickness of the walls, and it looks like it works now thx!

 

hi, thx for the reply, I solved the problem already but I want try your solution, to see what works best.. The problem is that I can't find how to make them move that way.
