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 focuses on creating and managing projectiles in Unity. Learners will build a projectile prefab, implement firing mechanics, and configure interactions such as collisions and explosions. The module also introduces using tags and particle systems for dynamic effects.

Module 4:  Projectile Setup

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.

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

Design and implement a score UI using Text Mesh Pro.

Update UI values dynamically based on gameplay events.

Use the singleton pattern to manage UI elements effectively.

Toggle menus during gameplay using Unity scripting.

In this challenge, reposition the UI elements to fit your liking.

Change the anchor position of the gameplay UI’s label and Score Rect Transform components to one of the other corners of the screen.

You will need to update the X and Y positions depending on where you anchor the canvas; experiment with positive and negative values to position it in a way that suits you.

If you choose to position the elements in the right corner, consider if it would be better to reverse the position of the counter and the label.

Change the TMP Font asset in the label and counter TMP_Text components in the gameplay UI.

Additional fonts are included in the project; the browse button beside the font asset will allow you to select them.

You can create a new Text Mesh Pro compatible font by importing a TTF file, right-clicking on it, and using the Create > TextMeshPro > Font Asset menu.
