Scripting Simulations: Movement & NPCs

Lesson 7  ·  Producing & Implementing

⏱ Duration: 60 minutes
📖 Phase: 3 of 4
Learning Intentions
  • Write simulation scripts using Update(), Time.deltaTime and Transform.Translate to move objects independently of frame rate
  • Implement an NPC patrol using branching (if/else) and iteration (while/for) — all three control structures in one script
  • Use the GenAI workflow responsibly: pseudocode first, then prompt, then critically review and document changes
  • Attach scripts to GameObjects and test simulation behaviour live in the Unity scene
