Tutorial Breakdown

  1. Background: Basic use of the Unity development environment
  2. The Unity Tower Defense Template tutorial (provide link)
    • We based our game off of the Unity Tower Defense Template found at (LINK) for several reasons:
      • A wealth of prebuilt assets meshed well with our ideas
        • Premade UI and general game interface allowed us to avoid implementing basic systems on our own and gave us an idea of how Unity games can be built
        • Tower and Agents
          • Agents have four main attributes: Max Health, Starting Health, Alignment, and Target Transform. When an agent is instantiated,
          • Towers will automatically attack Agents with enemy alignment. TowerLevelData allows us to specify what towers do at different levels (unused here; only important from a gameplay standpoint)
          • Alignment, wave management/spawning system (used at least concepts from if not the system itself)
        • Game economy
        • Tower prefabs --> easy to modify to create custom wall "towers"
        • Grid placement system
        • (Negative: navmesh and node-based pathfinding were useless in relation to our vector-based pathfinding, and had to be scrapped)
    • Notable elements of the Action Game Framework
      • Agent, Attacker, Damage Collider, DamageableBehaviour
  3. Step-by-step: Creating a WallTower
    • Creating new GameObject
    • Copying components from tower prefab
    • Add WallTower_0 TowerLevel object, attach model (basic cube with dimensions stretched)
    • Adding HealthBar using HealthVisualizer (Script)
    • Saving as prefab
    • Creating UpWall by copying WallTower and modifying dimensions
    • Adding build button to UI
  4. Step-by-step: Creating a Zombunny
    • Model, texture, and animations taken from the Action Shooter tutorial
    • Similar process to creating WallTower, but required some custom scripts (detailed in the scripts section, or interwoven here)
    • Colliders: Vision (sphere), Damage (capsule), Zombie Attacker (box)
    • Zombie Agent
  5. Custom scripts

    • Genome

    • GenomeManager

    • ZombieAgent

    • ZombieAttacker
