In this tutorial on how to make Among Us in Unity, I will show you how to make the Vents and Vent mechanic. The vents allow the imposter to hide and move around the map faster than the rest of the regular crewmates. To create the vents we will be using the interactable prefab that we have already created. We will also need to create an animation for the players to hide. Clicking on the vent will then enable a UI system from switching between vents.
