Steps to implementing an enemy drone

Let's start by implementing the main ingredients of the Strategy pattern:

  1. Our first element is the Strategy interface; all our concrete strategies will use it:
namespace Chapter.Strategy

public interface IManeuverBehaviour
{
void Maneuver(Drone drone);
}
}

using UnityEngine;

namespace Chapter.Strategy {
public class Drone : MonoBehaviour {

// Ray parameters
private RaycastHit _hit;
private Vector3 _rayDirection;
private float _rayAngle = -45.0f;
private float _rayDistance = 15.0f;

public float speed = 1.0f;
public float maxHeight = 5.0f;
