Dungeon Traveler

Dungeon Traveler

This game started completely different as a collaborative effort. However, since the original game was not flushed out and the team fell apart I adapted it into a click/tap based game. As of current, it's mostly done but when play testing it on my Android phone I have frame rate issues in the later levels. Oddly enough this issues don't occur on PC or WebGL so it might be due to my phone being over 2 years old. Nevertheless it should work on every Android device so I'm going to try a technique mentioned here and here from http://catlikecoding.com. Plus that means I get to learn something new and most likely very useful. And if i don't like that i'm going to redo it completely, going for an old school Final Fantasy or Pokemon visual style for fighting.

How to create slowly revealed text in a Unity 3d game

Image
I'm sure you have seen games that have text slowly appear on screen. This tutorial will show you how to achieve that look in your game. This will be done using the C# language and using a Coroutine . Here is what you are going to learn to create: Depending on how you want to display the text you can do it 2 ways. 1 . The first way is to slowly display each letter of the text. This can be achieved using a Coroutine with a set time in-between each letter. Ex: IEnumerator TextSlower(float time) { foreach (char ch in theText) { textBox.text += ch; // wait between each letter yield return new WaitForSeconds(time); } StopCoroutine(TextSlower(0.0f)); } 2 .  The second way is to display each word in the text. This can be achieved using a Coroutine as described above but using String.Split to create an array of words. Ex: // create an array of words strArray = theText.Split(' '); IEnumerator TextSlower(float time) { for (int i

Fade in and fade out Script for Unity 3d

A Fader?: Is your game looking for a bit of polish? Having a simple fade transition from scenes or transition from a point in a game can make all the difference. The outcome: The Method: This uses a Coroutine to fade in/out over a specified time and using a specified amount of 'steps' for a smooth transition. This method takes a Unity UI image and adjusts the alpha until it is 0 or 100%. /// <summary> /// This is used when a Unity UI image is needed to fade /// </summary> /// <param name="image"></param> /// <param name="fadeIn"></param> /// <param name="fadeTimeSec"></param> /// <returns></returns> IEnumerator Fader(Image image, bool fadeIn, float fadeTimeSec) { // the alpha of the image cannot be set on its own so a new color needs to be created Color tempColor = image.color; // The amount when additioned or subtracti

How to do chain damage in a Unity 3D game using C#

Chain damage is used in many video games as the second stage or upgrade to an existing damage from a weapon/spell. The concept is simple, one enemy is targeted and receives most of the damage and surrounding enemies receives some damage as well. This article will show you a few ways to create this in Unity 3d. General idea: At the initial target a sphere of X radius is created and all the assets within that radius are added to a list and damaged accordingly. The set up: A method is called when damage needs to be applied. That then creates a physics.overlapcircle with X radius at the target position. This gets an array of all the colliders in that radius and can apply damage accordingly. An example method s is below. public void ChainDamage(Vector3 center, float radius, int enemyCount, int damageAmount, int degradeAmount) { Collider[] allColliders = Physics.OverlapSphere(center, radius); // the first item in the array is your main target the next item in the array
