Team's progress:
As a team we have been working on getting ready for the first playtest coming up. We were able to get a lot done this week. The Guardian's animation sprites were created, the tiles for area 1 were created and we are in the process of creating animation sprites for the first enemy (which is a corrupted bipedal deer) along with making parallex background images. One of our members is also working on the AI for the deer enemy.
My contributions:
I have been working this week almost entirely on this IAT 410 project and reworked everything about the player gameobject pretty much from scratch. I created new animations using the Guardian's sprites which included idle, running, jumping, falling, hurt, death, ranged attack, melee attack 1, melee attack 2, melee attack 3 and slide, and a new animator with new transitions and variables.
Previously the player was controlled by 2 scripts, one which grabbed input along with controlling states, and another that did the movement and physics. It was based on a Brackeys tutorial which the structure didn't make too much sense to me and used too many conditions to do the movement. It also had logic for crouching but since the Guardian doesn't have a crouch animation I decided to scrap it and rewrite everything in a single script in a way that was more logical for me and easier to debug. This is the old part of the code that did the movement:
This became my new logic for movement. 🙂
With the SetAnimationState function doing all of the work and calling other functions and coroutines. For the most part I only had to debug this section.
Some of the things I worked on included, which aren't only limited to these:
Bug with health reducing more than once before invulnerability kicked in, killing player instantly
Fixed an issue with the collider not being centered on the player in the x direction that caused it to go into the ground if it turned around when against a wall
Melee combo attack logic (this took WAY longer than I thought it would and had too many bugs)
Ranged attack animation which instantiates a ranged attack
Added ranged attack prefab which has its own script on which way to move depending on the where the player is and facing, and on when to be destroyed. The ranged attack also has its own sprites and animation
Function to disable movement and reenable on various conditions (death, staggered, before and after attack states)
Physics layers to react to specific layers only
New inputs for the attacks
Used the old female warrior model as my monster and made a script that plays the hurt animation if hit and kills it after X hits
The player takes X damage and dies
Fixed too many bugs between animation transitions
What it looks like:
Reflection:
There are still bugs that I have noted down which I will leave alone for now as they are minor things. Tomorrow I want to use the tileset sprites we made to work on the level design which I have neglected to work on the player instead. The player feels pretty decent, but it can be further polished in the future. Other teammates are working on the deer monster sprites and AI script. If they are finished I will add them in, otherwise if I have time I'll write a basic script to have the "enemy" (old female warrior model) in my scene patrol around. If the player comes close it should follow them and attack. We are a little behind where I would have liked to be at this point in terms of enemies but this week we got a lot done. If we keep the same pace in the coming weeks, we will be able to get a lot done. For me I will work on monster AI scripts in the coming weeks, while polishing some of the issues of the player.
