# Fleeing

Add a hazardous obstacle to a crowd simulation and script agents to flee for a set duration.

In this tutorial students will learn how to add a dangerous obstacle to a crowd simulation and program the agents to flee for a specified amount of time.

## 1. Fleeing Part 1

In this tutorial, students will learn how to create a crowd situation in which people flee from a given location. In part 1, students will program in the ability to drop an object into a scene from which the crowd will flee.

In this lecture students will complete the fleeing simulation by adding code to the agents controller to calculate a flee direction.
