Starting to feel like something real
Apr 2, 2021
Having created the powerup, to be able to grant the player the ability to use the recent addition of the “triple-shot laser”, this is starting to feel more like a real video game!
The triple-shot is granted when the player collides with the powerup, a bool is set to true, which makes it shoot the triple-shot variant instead of the single laser 😀
This is done through script communication, which I covered in my previous article.
By making a system of collecting powerups, the game now has a lot of flexibility in which direction it can take. Making it all much more dynamic.
