Better Enemy Chasing with Intercept Courses | AI Series 44 | Unity Tutorial

Learn how you can have NavMeshAgents calculate an intercept course to better chase the player. We'll use the historical velocity of the player, project it forward, and calculate a path to that location. Make sure to also check the agent isn't just running in front of the player by adding a Dot Product check!
