This will later help make the movement more obvious, rather than just having a long, solid white wall. Optionally, add a few different-coloured materials and apply them to the cubes. Since the Main Camera faces down the Z-axis, it’s also nice to not set X=0 for any cubes, so that we have a corridor that we can immediately walk down. Set their X and Z positions to integer values, leaving their Y position set to zero. You can do this via GameObject menu -> 3D Object -> Cube, although after creating the first one, you can select it and press Ctrl+D to duplicate it. Add a few Cubes to the scene so that we’ll have something to see as we move around. Setting the Sceneįirst, create a new 3D project. This article is based on Unit圓D 2020.3.13f1 (LTS), and the source code is available in the Unit圓dFirstPersonGridMovement folder of the Gigi Labs Bitbucket Repository. Unit圓D gives us everything we need to easily set up this first-person grid-based movement. “ Blobber: A slang term for party-based games with first-person view, such as Wizardry, Dungeon Master and Legend of Grimrock, where the entire party moves as one, as if it was an amorphous blob.” - The CRPG Book, page 522 Although this was popularised by “blobbers” such as Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder, it goes at least as far back as 1979 with Akalabeth.
