How do I make a FPS Boss?
Hello everybody. I am brand new to programming and am going through the FPS tutorial, but the one thing the tutorial does not teach you is how to make a boss character and how to end the game, once everything is dead you just kinda sit there. Here is the script I was thinking my game over condition should be put into
var hitPoints = 100.0; var deadReplacement : Transform; var dieSound : AudioClip;
function ApplyDamage (damage : float) { // We already have less than 0 hitpoints, maybe we got killed already? if (hitPoints <= 0.0) return;
hitPoints -= damage;
if (hitPoints <= 0.0)
{
Detonate();
}
}
function Detonate () { // Destroy ourselves Destroy(gameObject);
// Play a dying audio clip if (dieSound) AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(dieSound, transform.position);
// Replace ourselves with the dead body if (deadReplacement) { var dead : Transform = Instantiate(deadReplacement, transform.position, transform.rotation);
// Copy position & rotation from the old hierarchy into the dead replacement
CopyTransformsRecurse(transform, dead);
}
}
static function CopyTransformsRecurse (src : Transform, dst : Transform) { dst.position = src.position; dst.rotation = src.rotation;
for (var child : Transform in dst) {
// Match the transform with the same name
var curSrc = src.Find(child.name);
if (curSrc)
CopyTransformsRecurse(curSrc, child);
}
}
I was wondering if that would be the correct spot to put it into and what exactly would i put into it to make the game end? any help on this would be greatly appreciated even a book I could look into to find the answer myself would be great.
Thank you so much for your time

Oooh, that is a good question and one I've been wondering myself... I added this to my favorite questions :D
You have a few choices. The simplest is to simply exit the application when you want the game over to happen. You can do this using Application.Quit which you can read about here:
http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Application.Quit.html
This has no effect in the editor or in a web player though!
The second and third options is to restart the game by reloading your current scene OR load another scene (such as a menu/level select). You can do this by using Application.LoadLevel. See this:
http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Application.LoadLevel.html
Now to check if the game has ended you'll want to tag all enemies and use the following function:
http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag.html
You just need to use this function and then check the length of the array (in the example in the link you would check if gos.length was 0)
