Among Us in Unity – Roles, Kills, Ghosts (Lesson 5)

For this lesson on how to create Among Us in Unity, we will show you how to create the kill mechanic. We will begin by creating the ghost animation and setting up the Animator controller. We will then need to add the imposter role and kill mechanic to our player controller script. Once we have updated our script we will then need to make a few changes to our player prefab including adding a sphere collider as a trigger. There is more to the kill mechanic than what we cover in this lesson and we will continue that in the next lesson.
