NPCScheduleSystem

System developed in Unity to allow NPCs have a schedule and move through the world freely

Features

• Very scalable and allows for changes to the NPCs at any point of the development
• NPCs can travel through scenes and be updated off-screen in a performant way
• Supports different waypoints (Idle, sitting, wander, perform an action)
• Easy map/waypoint creation

Setting up a scene

The NPCScheduleSystem consists of 5 types of objects:

• SceneMapping: Contains information of the multiple areas and it's waypoints inside of a scene
• World: Contains a collection of SceneMappings that belong to a same zone and establishes the connections between them
• NPCCharacter: A simple container for the NPC specific info (such as name, group, 3D model, etc...)
• World NPCs: A list of the NPCs that populate a World
• Schedule: Container of the actions that each group or individual npc should perform at a given time
