Getting started with the zombie Prefab

The zombie character will appear many times throughout a level, and other levels. For this reason, we'll build one zombie in the Viewport and, from that, create a Prefab.

Additionally, set the Speed to 0.6, and the Stopping Distance to 3. The Stopping Distance variable specifies how close to its destination an agent should reach before stopping:
