Hi All,
in the last batch of work, finally I got to implementation of 'level building' elements or 'prefabs'. In previous showcases things were a bit hardcoded. E.g. when pressed specific button, moved specific piece of wall from here to there with special piece of code. This is of course not suitable for further development.
For building levels, I need functional prefabs, so I can just place them in editor and things will automatically work. E.g. place switch here, door there, link them, so in game by pressing switch, linked door will automatically open/close. Same for operating lights, elevators, etc..
In this batch I started with some basic stuff:
- doors
- switches which can now operate doors or lights (or any element that will implement IToggleable interface, programmatically speaking )
- switches can be 2-states (on/off) for IToggleable elements or 1-state (one time actions)
- elevator
In following short animations, there's one level with doors and switches. I just walk around, not spoiling solution (even if this is easier level). Another level is showcase of 'color mixing' puzzle (this is very easy one, almost tutorial, so I can spoil I think).
RTG aka The-Ray Traced Game v0.1.3 - First 'level building' elements (prefabs)
