This is the initialization method for our boid:

void Start () { randomFreq = 1.0f / randomFreq; //Assign the parent as origin origin = transform.parent; //Flock transform transformComponent = transform; //Temporary components Component[] tempFlocks= null; //Get all the unity flock components from the parent //transform in the group if (transform.parent) { tempFlocks = transform.parent.GetComponentsInChildren <UnityFlock>(); } //Assign and store all the flock objects in this group objects = new Transform[tempFlocks.Length]; otherFlocks = new UnityFlock[tempFlocks.Length]; for (int i = 0;i<tempFlocks.Length;i++) { objects[i] = tempFlocks[i].transform; otherFlocks[i] = (UnityFlock)tempFlocks[i]; } //Null Parent as the flock leader will be //UnityFlockController object transform.parent = null; //Calculate random push depends on the random frequency //provided StartCoroutine(UpdateRandom()); }

We set the parent of the object of our boid as origin, meaning that this will be the controller object for the other boids to follow. Then, we grab all the other boids in the group and store them in our own variables for later reference.

The StartCoroutine method starts the UpdateRandom() method as a coroutine:
