Let's Take A Second to Admire Sci-Fi User Interfaces

Computer interfaces in the real world are, generally, frustrating, boring, and at best functional. No one has great joy in using Google Chrome, and everyone is always mad at whatever update Twitter is rolling out. But in sci-fi? In science fiction, user interfaces aren’t just useful. They’re the coolest shit imaginable.

Booster Button!

Here’s the code you need to add a speed boost feature on the jet, it’s bound to Right Click (”Fire2″). Attach the script component to your aircraft (same object that has the Rigidbody component) and set the Power value on the component to something high like 5000. 

I haven’t tested it on the car.

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class SpeedBoost: MonoBehaviour {

public bool on; public float power;

void Update () {d

if (Input.GetButton("Fire2")) {

Debug.Log ("what the ..."); on = true; } else  { on = false; }

if (Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") != null)  {

float direction = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal"); transform.Rotate (direction,0,0); }

if (on) { transform.GetComponent<Rigidbody> ().AddForce (transform.forward * power);

   }   } }

This was taken from the Thruster.cs script in the Dogfight game, they used AddForce (transform.up ... I just changed it to transform.forward. You could probably use the ‘up’ version for a jump.

Prototype Due Tomorrow & VR Testing Sessions Begin

At the start of class tomorrow (Wednesday 4/2) I’ll be checking to make sure everyone has working gameplay for a grade.

I’ll be allowing students into the Color Suite to use the VR headset for testing.

Check out the new Iron Man VR game for UI design inspiration!

If you’re designing a race track this Path Creator asset might be useful.

[magicui]

You might find some useful scripts in here, scripts for invisibility, capture the flag, Halo bubble shield, camera shake, mines, lightning, slo-mo, etc.

Shield demo on the enemy AI, I’ll show you guys how to implement this next week. Code is below if you want to give it a try.

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class DestroyShield : MonoBehaviour {

public GameObject shieldshatter;  //explosion for the bullet impact    public GameObject theShield;  //mesh object with hologram shader and collider trigger    public GameObject jetCollider; //destructionSensor on the AI jet    public float afterSeconds = 0.25f;  //delay between impact and shield turning off

   void OnTriggerEnter(Collider impactObject) {        if (impactObject.tag != "ChaseSensor" && impactObject.tag != "EnemyAI")        {

           Destroy(impactObject);  //destroys the bullet object, this could use another if statement so the player doesn’t get destroyed by touching the shield            Instantiate (shieldshatter, transform.position, transform.rotation); //creates a green explosion

           Invoke("Trigger", afterSeconds);  //destroys the shield after a short delay, and also activate the destruction trigger so the aircraft can be destroyed

       }

   }    void Trigger()    {        Destroy(theShield); //destroys the shield object        jetCollider.GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = true;  //activates the destruction sensor so now the aircraft destruction collider can destroy the aircraft    }

}
