Array of unique inherited classes?
Hi, I am trying to make a game where the player can change between many unique attacks, so I was planning on making a base class "Attack" with a method "activate" for when it is called, then in my player combat script I would have an array of classes that inherit from Attack, each one with different code inside the activate method, but I can't figure out how to actually do it.
Here is an example of what I was doing:
public class Player : TurnType {
public List<AttackTypes> attacks = new List<AttackTypes>();
private AttackTypes currentAttack;
void Awake(){
currentAttack = attacks [0];
}
public override bool Attack (){
if (Input.GetButtonDown ("attack")) {
base.Attack ();
print (attacks);
currentAttack.Activate ();
return true;
}else {
return false;
}
}
}
[System.Serializable]
public class AttackTypes : MonoBehaviour {
void Awake(){
GameGlobal.player.GetComponent<Player> ().attacks.Add (this);
}
public virtual void Activate(){
}
}
[System.Serializable]
public class fireball:AttackTypes {
public override void Activate(){
base.Activate ();
// code for attacking
}
}
So what is the issue? This should work, what i don't get is why you need to have the AttackType class inherit from $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour do you need to add it as a Component to a GameObject, or more precisely do you need the Awake Start etc functions on each attack type?
Thank you for the reply.
I don't know what the problem is, other than I know that the Awake() function is never called, so I think it might be something to do with the class never having an instance of it being made? I'm fairly new to program$$anonymous$$g and I only have the most basic understanding of the concepts.
I have it inherit from $$anonymous$$onoBehavior because I need the Start and Awake functions, it doesn't need to be attached to a gameobject.
As long they are not attached to any GameObject these functions won't get invoked thus either you keep them as $$anonymous$$onos and attach them to a GameObject else remove it and handle it internally. Ex.
void Awake()
{
attacks.Add(new fireball());
currentAttack = attacks[0];
}
And of course you need to call your Attack() method from somewhere which is not included on above scripts.
Note1: please use comments to reply ins$$anonymous$$d of answer.
Thank you for your help, that works.
Sorry about the wrong format on the reply, I'm still trying to get used to the website.
