Corona Maze Runner

This tutorial implies the creation of a maze with Rhino Grasshopper and alternatively with Blender, than exporting and preparing the set in Unity. In Unity a NavMesh with IA will be implemented. Then a few scripts will allowed to set up a game experience that will be extended in Augmented Reality.

Let’s start in Blender

The Maze Generator can be found here

https://github.com/elfnor/mesh_maze

Other kind of maze can be found here https://github.com/Gorgious56/MazeGenerator/releases creating a maze is not obvious. Results can be surprising and rewarding https://imgur.com/a/6u13JSG

A prior version was here : https://elfnor.com/maze-any-mesh-in-blender.html

The Blender Maze is prepared and painted into Unity

The ground is replaced by a Terrain Asset

The size fits to the actual ground, it could have been enlarged

It’s been sculpted

And painted

Additional pack can be added to enrich the environment

Add a mesh collider for the walls

Preparing the Maze for IA

It has to be Navigation Static

In navigation add 2 layers

The terrain is Walkable

Wall are not walkable

Ready to bake

The blue colour indicates that it worked

To test the camera is moved to an upper position.

To test IA, add a NavMesh component

And this script

using System.Collections;
 
 
using System.Collections.Generic;
 
using UnityEngine;
 
using UnityEngine.AI;
 
public class MoveTarget : MonoBehaviour
 
{
 
public NavMeshAgent nmAgent;
 
void Update()
 
{
 
//If the player has left clicked
 
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
 
{
 
//Get the mouse Position
 
Vector3 mouse = Input.mousePosition;
 
//Cast a ray to get where the mouse is pointing at
 
Ray castPoint = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(mouse);
 
//Stores the position where the ray hit.
 
RaycastHit hit;
 
//If the raycast doesnt hit a wall
 
if (Physics.Raycast(castPoint, out hit, Mathf.Infinity))
 
{
 
nmAgent.SetDestination(hit.point);
 
}
 
}
 
}
 
}
