Generate gameObject horde, more positioned towards front of horde
I am trying to create a non-uniform random range of enemy characters in a scene. I want there to be more enemies towards the front of the horde and less trailing off towards the back of the horde. How would I do something like this? I figured maybe create an empty gameObject and have the generated enemies target it like
public Vector3 target : Transform;
if (target == null && GameObject.FindWithTag("Empty"))
{
target = GameObject.FindWithTag("Empty").transform;
}
But I feel like that would not work. Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is my method for spawning the horde
void SpawnHorde()
{
for (int i = 0; i < hordeCount; i++)
{
Vector3 spawnPosition = new Vector3(Random.Range (-location.x, location.x), location.y, location.z);
GameObject obj = Instantiate(horde, spawnPosition, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
}
}
Maybe set bounds for the location?? Ugh I'm stumped
here is an image of how I want to generate them: 
Hey, you ever figure that out? I am trying to do the same thing right now and I am completely stumped.
Yes I figured it out. Lol, are you in IG$$anonymous$$E 202?
Yeah I am, haha
Thank you for the answer, it's making more sense now, I got the other parts of the assignment down, just was having trouble with this one. :D
