Module 7 Assessment

This module covers the basics of getting started with the provided Unity project and creating an interactive main menu. Learners will explore the sample project, configure the Unity Input System, and implement functionality to navigate scenes using UI elements.

Module 1:  Project Overview and Main Menu

This module focuses on configuring the player-controlled cannon. Learners will explore the cannon prefab, connect Input System actions to its components, and implement functionality to tilt and turn the cannon as well as its wheels.

Module 2:  Player Setup

This module focuses on setting up advanced camera controls using Unity’s Cinemachine package. Learners will configure virtual cameras to follow and orbit GameObjects, providing smooth and dynamic perspectives for gameplay.

Module 3:  Cinemachine Setup

This module covers the creation and management of in-game UI elements. Learners will design a score display, update UI values dynamically, and implement functionality to toggle menus during gameplay using Unity’s UI components and scripting techniques.

Module 5:  UI

This module covers the integration of animations and ragdoll physics to enhance gameplay interactions. Learners will explore Unity’s Mecanim system, configure animator controllers, and implement ragdoll physics for dynamic character responses.

Module 6:  Interacting with Mecanim and Ragdolls

This module focuses on enhancing gameplay with sound effects. Learners will explore the use of Unity’s Audio Source component, scripting audio playback, and synchronizing sound effects with gameplay events for an immersive experience.

Module 7:  Sound Effects

Module 6 Challenge - Animations.zip

Take your Unity development skills to the next level by learning how to create program interactions using C# scripting. This hands-on course delves into interactive gameplay mechanics, from setting up player controls and projectiles to integrating animations, ragdoll physics, and sound effects. Using Unity’s Input System, Cinemachine, and Mecanim animation system, you'll learn to create dynamic and engaging player experiences. Perfect for intermediate developers, this course will equip you with the tools and techniques to build interactive projects with confidence while deepening your C# scripting expertise.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Navigate and understand the sample project structure.

Configure Unity’s Input System for player interactions.

Design and script a functional main menu with scene transitions.

Modify and script player prefabs to respond to input for movement and rotation.

Set up and configure Cinemachine cameras for smooth tracking and interaction.

Create, instantiate, and manage projectiles using colliders, rigidbodies, and forces.

Design interactive targets and implement collision-based effects, including particle systems.

Build and dynamically update in-game UI using Text Mesh Pro.

Use the singleton pattern to manage UI elements across gameplay.

Create and manage animations using the Mecanim system and animator parameters.

Configure and toggle ragdoll states for dynamic physics-based interactions.

Play and script sound effects for enhanced gameplay immersion.

Challenge

Bonus Challenge

By the end of this module, learners will be able to:

Create and configure a projectile prefab with essential components.

Implement mechanics for firing projectiles.

Set up interactions for projectiles, including collisions and expiration.

Use particle systems to create explosion effects.

Utilize tags to identify and interact with specific objects.

In this challenge, experiment with the Rigidbody component and Force properties.

Experiment with the ExplosiveShot prefab’s Rigidbody component; how does changing the mass, drag, and angular drag values affect the feel of the shot?

Experiment with the cannon’s projectile force property. How does it affect the projectile’s firing properties relative to the gravity and drag properties of the projectile’s Rigidbody?

The project does not account for the fact that a cannon barrel is smooth, which causes cannonballs to have a random spin when fired. Add the following line of code to the cannon’s fire method before applying force to the projectile:

Add a new public float variable to the class called projectileTorque and update the AddTorque to use it.
