UNITY TUTORIAL | PROJECT | SPACE SHOOTER |9. Creating Hazards

Adding Asteroid as Hazard

 

Adding “RigidBody” and “Capsule Collider”

 

adding a script to give Tumbling

setting tumbling speed with a public variable

RigidBody.AngularVelocity | Random.insideUnitSphere

tumbling Asteroid but with Angular Drag

setting Angular Drag to 0

Asteroid tumbling without Angular Drag

adding a script to make destruction

OntriggerEnter to detect any collision | Destroy()

• Destroy(other) – only removing the collider
• Destroy(other.gameObject) – removing only the gameObject with Collider “other”

Bug | something is triggering “Destroy()” function

Debug.Log (other.name)

Debugging 1 | finding the cause

Debugging 2 | finding the cause

Debugging 3 | Tagging “Boundary”

Debugging 4 | detecting any gameObject with a tag “Bounadry” | return

• Return ends the execution of a function and hands the control back the function that called it (maybe Unity itself)
•  Return ends OntriggerEnter Function and returns the control back to Unity’s Game Loop
• As a result, if the object’s tag is “Boundary”, we will never reach or execute “Destroy” function

Debugging 6 | Solved

Asteroid destroyed by Laser

UNITY TUTORIAL | PROJECT | SPACE SHOOTER |6. Creating Shots

creating Empty GameObject & Quad for Shot

Texture for Laser

creating Empty Material to create Material for shot

creating Material

adding Material to “Mesh Renderer”

Mesh Renderer | Material | Shader

changing Shader for Laser | Particle – Additive

deleting collider for VFX

adding RigidBody & Capsule Collider to Shot | Trigger Collider

Creating Prefab

“Mover” Script for shot | RigidBody.Velocity | Start()

deleting instance of shot

creating instances of laser

UNITY TUTORIAL | PROJECT | SPACE SHOOTER |2. The Player Game Object

Adding Player GameObject

Resetting the position of “Player” into (0, 0, 0)

Transform.Position set to (0, 0, 0)

RigidBody Added | Gravity Unactivated

Capsule Collider Added

Changing Collider Size

Changing the direction of Collider into Z-Axis for configuration

Changing the Radius and Height of Collider

Adding “Mesh Collider” | only one collider should be added

“Mesh Renderer” off to see “Mesh Collider”

Simplified “Mesh” added to “Mesh Collider”

“Particle” added as Child GameObject of  “Player”

“Particle” effect
