Linking weapon ammo
This is my rocket-launcher script:
var projectile : Rigidbody; var initialSpeed = 20.0; var reloadTime = 0.5; var ammoCount = 20; private var lastShot = -10.0;
function Fire () { // Did the time exceed the reload time? if (Time.time > reloadTime + lastShot && ammoCount > 0) { // create a new projectile, use the same position and rotation as the Launcher. var instantiatedProjectile : Rigidbody = Instantiate (projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
// Give it an initial forward velocity. The direction is along the z-axis of the missile launcher's transform. instantiatedProjectile.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3 (0, 0, initialSpeed));
// Ignore collisions between the missile and the character controller Physics.IgnoreCollision(instantiatedProjectile.collider, transform.root.collider);
lastShot = Time.time; ammoCount--;
} }
I have two rocket-launchers, So how can I make them share ammo, in other words how do I make the player have 20 rockets and you can use them for two launchers, so that they share ammo?
You could create that variable on one script, and have both launchers refer to it.
For example, you might consider having a script specifically for static variables for your player, like health and ammunition. if you had a script called PlayerDetails, with (example in javascript)
static var rockets : int = 4;
then instead of ammoCount-- you could do
PlayerDetails.rockets--;
/agree with this way of doing it, have a AmmoController script that simply keeps track of all of your ammo types and each gun script.
A handy thing about the inspector is if you define an enumeration and then add a public property to your gun with the type as the enumeration you get a nice dropdown menu.
Here's an example from the unify community wiki:
enum WeaponType { pistol, rifle, launcher}
var type : WeaponType = WeaponType.pistol;
