UNITY TUTORIAL 08

"It Is Time To Do The Design" by Tenney Tang on Dribbble.

This week I finished the final set of tutorials for the arcade-style sumo battle game and completed a challenge. I learned how to spawn up to 3 enemies by adding a new void to the SpawnManager and using for-loop. I also learned how to make the number of enemies increase with waves using the (++) operator as well as getting the power-up to respawn in a random spot at the start of each wave.

In challenge 4, I had to correct the scripts of a soccer themed game by applying what I learned from the sumo battle tutorials. I fixed the issue of the enemy flying towards the player instead of away when they collide by subtracting "transform.position" from "other.gameObject.transform.position" instead of the other way around. I replaced the "Powerup" tag under the enemyCount variable with "Enemy" so that a new wave begins when all the enemy balls are taken out instead of when the player collects a power-up. I also made the power-up's effects temporary. I made the number of enemies increase by 1 when a new wave begins using the (++) operator. I was a little unsure about how to get the enemy balls to move towards the goal but looked at the hints for some help then added a playerGoal variable.  

This challenge took some time to complete because the scripts have a lot of code and I had to scan it all to find the errors but the comments helped with this.

FIRST PLAYABLE

Continuing with the creation of my game, I resized the player character to make them even smaller based on a comment that was left on my last project blog. I also repositioned the trees to make the space slightly narrower and added some flowers to bring some colour into the scene. With reference from the animal feeding game tutorial, I was able to get the player moving left and right by clicking the arrow keys. I brought in rocks and a branch for obstacles but I need to apply a SpawnManager script and get them to spawn randomly during gameplay. I also have to figure out how to get some branches falling from the trees and bringing in power-ups and points too. Screenshot from Unity3D of my game production.

PROTOTYPE

I browsed through the Unity asset store to find a package with nature objects that I could use to set up the scene for my infinite runner game. I downloaded the Nature Starter Kit 2  and started building my scene in Unity. This was a little time consuming but I'm satisfied with the way it turned out. I upscaled the trees and bushes, keeping in my mind my initial idea of gaining inspiration from the movie "The Secret World of Arrietty." I got the character from a tutorial I have completed for this module before and positioned the camera behind it. Screenshot of my work in Unity3D. With reference to the lesson 3 Unity tutorial, I started coding by creating the PlayerController script. I used the AddForce method and allowed the player to jump by clicking the spacebar. I declared two public variables to be able to adjust the gravity and player's jump force. Looking into the player's animator controller, I applied a static running animation. I then added a jumping ani...
