Week 5 | Session 4 - For-Loops for Waves - April 23, 2020

Unique palyer control system with mowing forward or back bty scrolling the mouse wheel (its very usefull and intuitive) Left mouse button to fire, Right to Jump. Added 3 powerups types (FireOn, SpeedPowerUp, and JumpSmash) The player respawns after falling, there is a count of "Life`sleft" when the count reaches 0 the system shows in DebugLog The score counts the number of enemies defeated shows in DebugLog There are waves with more enemies each time, witj incrasing speed of them every wave.

Lots of upgrades, including: JumpBlast, Speed Boost, and Projectiles (which destroy enemies)! The player has multiple lives, with automatic respawn after falling off the edge. There are three enemy types, differing in health, size and speed. Not featured: number of enemies killed and Game Over message which appears in Console window upon final death. The most interesting challenge was programming JumpBlast. After trying several different approaches (including animation, which didn't play nice with Physics), I found that calling a coroutine was the best solution: IEnumerator JumpBlastForceRoutine() { // Allow the player time to jump into the air playerRigid.AddForce(Vector3.up * powerupForce, ForceMode.Impulse); yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.4f); // Make the player slam quickly back to the ground playerRigid.AddForce(Vector3.down * powerupForce * 3, ForceMode.Impulse); } In OnCollisionEnter, I added the following code to play the blast particles and push away any enemies that might be too close to the player: int enemyLayerMask = 1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Enemy"); if(collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Ground")) { isOnGround = true; if (hasPowerup) { blastParticles.Play(); // Push away all nearby enemies with JumpBlast Collider[] nearbyEnemies = Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position, blastRadius, enemyLayerMask); foreach (Collider enemyCollider in nearbyEnemies) { Debug.Log(enemyCollider.gameObject + " is within blast radius"); Rigidbody enemyRigid = enemyCollider.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>(); Vector3 awayFromPlayer = enemyCollider.gameObject.transform.position - transform.position; enemyRigid.AddForce(awayFromPlayer * powerupForce, ForceMode.Impulse); } } } This was a pretty fun challenge to complete. Thanks for the great instructions! ~AH

The course is over but the drive to complete as many challenges as I can remains. In this clip, I have 'fixed' the game. I also altered the colour and length of particle emission. The enemies have progressively faster speeds for each wave.

Added an extra power up in the form of a potion. The player jumps and blasts nearby opponents away, haven't added the particle effects to this yet though.

did add some cool enemies and add some powerUps and the coolest one for me is the fire on :)

hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I changed the code to respawn players and enemies and pwoer ups a no ending game. Although i changed the last scene because at the video after a players death only player was spawned. Then i overided the enemy prefab and its completed as i wanted to.

There were several questions: it was not so easy to replace primitive figures with characters because the characters use a different control technique. And also to make the characters run, I had to google again how to use the animator. I'm still working on this prototype. Next step to add AI for opponent.
