Made a simple spot to test out the navmesh and played “tag”. I can hide the mesh renderer of the plane to make it float around like a ghost. Also about that car model I made... it was on the laptop so I can’t grab it.
Note: The green patch “costs” more to move on so I danced around it to see how much the capsule would divert from a direct path, good way to path the AI without making too many waypoints.
Late update.
Been brainstorming as to fixing my level transitions. Simple stuff however I always have a struggle when picking how to design the “flow” of things. managed to get things flowing nicely between scenes now, so I should be able to build the levels without touching the gameManager for a while. Gonna hop on Maya and see the assets I can make for the second level. Maybe bring back a car I modeled for a previous course and plug a nav mesh into it to keep it moving while the player hops car to car. Though that means I need to fix the thingy with the... *mumble mumble*
Found how to alter the appearance of the water; made changes to the mat file, though just colors for now. Added the gameManager and a script to signal the manager when death/reached end events occur. Took me a bit to decide how it work it out since I wanted to keep the manager out of reach of other objects but it needed to know what other objects did. Might change how this works but for now I simply make the “lava” and “endPoint” children during runtime and add the script to get the trigger signal.
Current Status:
writing a gameManager to handle level loading and transitions. While trying to remember what I’ve used the most on Unity I remembered how much I worked with nav-meshes so I considering to use them again to make the platforms move. Granted this isn’t the ideal way but it adds some complexity and value.
And it’s gone!
Dropped the laptop off for shipping. Hopefully they find what causes the issues before sending it back. most likely will lose what’s stored but I saved the important stuff already.
On a side note time to keep working on the project.
Found some water asset to use for the “lava”. Made a simple script to snap the player back to a spawn point once he touches the “lava”. Not sure if I should either polish this level or go ahead and create a new one with a different theme.
Though the current level doesn't clearly fall into a theme, will have to fix that.
this is the gameplay I have so far. Need to make a respawn system and the level progression. Also made a table and updated the couch to give it more sitting space (was to short to be a proper platform to jump on).
Went into Maya to make myself a couch. Haven’t used maya in a while but I know my way around a bit. Fortunately it’s easy to export into Unity, so I can keep making some assets for myself.
