The Random behaviors link is dead.

Thanks for letting me know. For some reason the auto-linker included the trailing period in the URL.

It's fixed now.

Hello there, and welcome to Unity Answers!

Here are some links to get you started on your journey:

  • Random behaviors can be obtained with the "Random" class: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Random.html . You will also need to "seed" the class; a typical way to seed a random class is to use the current time; System.DateTime can be used for this.

  • One way to move an object is to modify the object's "Transform": http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Transform.html

  • Finally, ray casting can be accomplished with Physics.Raycast: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html

Good luck, and feel free to create a new question (ideally with some of your code) if you get stuck.
