Unity Add Enemies to a 2D Platformer
Creating a Platformer in Unity is relatively easy, but adding functional enemies may not be as straightforward.
In this post, I will be showing how to create a 2D platformer game with an enemy AI.
Generally in 2D platformers, the player can only walk front/back, jump, and in some cases climb up/down the ladder, if the map is multileveled. Knowing that we could use a modular approach where the same controller is shared between the player and the AI.
Step 1: Create the Scripts
Let's begin by creating all the necessary scripts. Check the source code below:

if (ladderCollider)
{

ladderCollider.gameObject.layer = 2; //Set ladder collider layer to IgnoreRaycast
}
}
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{

Step 2: Set up the Player and the Enemies
Now it's time to set up our player and the enemy AI using the scripts above.
Setting up our Player instance
- Create a new GameObject and name it "Player"
- Change the Tag of that object to "Player"
- Change the object's layer to 8 (if there is no Layer 8 in the selection, add one by clicking Add Layer..., name it "Player")
- Create another GameObject, call it "Body" and add a SpriteRenderer component
- Assign your player Sprite to a "Body" and move it inside the "Player" object
- Select the "Player" object and add CapsuleCollider2D, Rigidbody2D, and PlayerController2D components
- Scale the CapsuleCollider2D until it fits the player Sprite
As you can see PlayerController2D has a couple of variables, most of them are self-explanatory, however, one of them needs a bit of explanation:
PlayerHP - this value is used in BotController2D to decide whether the AI should run away when its HP is too low.
Use the PlayerHP variable when implementing the attack function (Check void Attack() at the end of the PlayerController2D.cs script).
Setting up player Camera
- Select the Main Camera and add the CameraFollow2D component
- Assign the Player to the Target variable
- Optionally you can tweak the Offset variable (If you don't want the camera to be centered exactly in the middle)
Setting up a ladder
PlayerController2D also supports climbable Ladders.
Setting up a new ladder is really easy:
- Create a new GameObject and call it "Ladder"
- Change its layer to "IgnoreRaycast"
- Create another game object with a SpriteRenderer and assign a sprite of your ladder and move it inside the Ladder object
- Add BoxCollider2D and Ladder2D components to the "Ladder" object
- Scale the collider dimensions to match the ladder Sprite and mark it as Trigger
Setting up the enemy AI
- First, go to the Physics2D panel and disable a collision between the Player layer, so the bots and players are not stuck between each other.
- Duplicate the Player instance
- Add a BotController2D component
- The bot is now ready
