Unit selection in RTS games [Preview]
🕑 Added 2025-07-06 14:38:53 +0000 UTCThe next video is going to be a quick one on how to select units in RTS style games.
We'll be making a simple selection box and selecting a few units to move around the screen.
Not much really to show here, the video above already shows everything.
Random comments
I won't cover how to move the units around.
While that is simple enough to do, I wanted this video to be small and to the point.
Maybe I can do another quick video about using navmesh agents in the future.
I've made one about 2D navmesh agents in the past without realizing once (I made the video about the new 2D baking feature, but ended up showing agents and a bit more stuff), but I wanted to do one in 3D eventually.
Anyways, the video models are using AssetHunter Tank's free asset pack. I made this scene a while ago in preparation to make tutorials about NPC AI and state machines. Which I still plan to cover at some point in the future.
Video status
Videos recorded. Still need to write what I'm going to say, record the voice and edit the video. But this should be a small video.
I only started making this a few days ago. I got distracted playing around with a couple of prototype games. And I've been playing around with making multiplayer games and trying out some new stuff.
