Chapters
Dive deep into the Template Method pattern and learn how it can solve common inheritance problems in Unity, like forgetting to call base methods or silently breaking game logic. We'll start by clearly showing how explicit base calls lead to fragile, error-prone code, then introduce the Template Method as a clean, structured solution using practical Enemy AI examples. We'll also explore how careless subclassing can violate the Liskov Substitution Principle without throwing exceptions, why that's dangerous, and how you can program defensively to avoid it. Whether you're building AI, abilities, or gameplay systems, this is essential knowledge for writing safer, smarter Unity code.
