Levels and Level Logic

[MatB30043856]

The general issue regarding the level designs, construction of the levels and any programming needed to be done on the levels. We need a build to submit by the end of the week. So we need at least 1 somewhat functioning level by then.

Level Logic | ToDo List

• [ ] Door
  • [x] Collision
  • [x] Mesh : Using unreal starter content for now
  • [x] Sound
  • [x] Opening & closing logic
• [ ] Button
  • [x] Collision
  • [x] Mesh
  • [x] Link to door component
  • [x] Activation / opening logic
  • [ ] (Could change this to allow the button to activate other components other than a door. For example, activate method is required in any component to be activated then could link the component to the button by casting to a USceneComp or something similar)
  • [ ] Multiple buttons for a single door/component
  • [x] Sound
• [ ] Endpoint
  • [x] Collision
  • [ ] Mesh?
  • [x] Next level / end game logic (Need to test this with more levels)
• [ ] Passive Noise Object(s)
  • [x] Clock
  • [x] Clock Logic
  • [x] Mesh
  • [ ] Radio?

    Level Logic | Update 1 | Commit:#de4a1ac

Changes

• Created door, button & endpoint classes
• Added collision detection to button

Issues/Todo

• Create door logic
• Make button open door
• Create endpoint logic
• Assets (will use starter content door for now)

I've blocked out the first level from memory, I'm currently working on adding skirting, doorframes and all of the signs. Once the button, door, and level end trigger are complete, we should be ready to build something with just 1 level. If we can get a build with more than 1 level that would be nice but I feel like it will take so long for players to learn to navigate it we should be fine. We can also get feedback and start tweaking things like how the gun fires and vision bubbles appear and disappear.

Level Logic | Update 2 | Commit:#aab4a2e

Changes

• Added logic to door
• Button can be linked to any door placed in the world
• Added the following functionality to game mode
  • Function to restart the level (could be used for respawning)
  • Function to call when a level is completed that will display a level complete widget
  • Function to load the next level/end the game if there are no more levels.

Issues

• Door doesn't have any collision
• Game will crash if no door component is linked to button

ToDo

• Add collision to door
• Add nullptr checks to button for door component
• Call game mode functions from endpoint/player when the player collides with it to end game/progress.
• Create level complete widget
• Create game complete widget

Icing/Cherry ToDo

• Door sound
• Door animation
• Button animation
• Door texture and model
• Button texture and model

Level Logic | Update 3 | Commit:#b05c054

Changes

• Merged with 85e84ec (#c02ca02)
• Added collision to door
• Added nullptr checks to button
• Linked gamemode functions to endpoint collision
• Fixed door rotating from the centre
• Fixed game crashing when calling gamemode functions

Issues/ToDo

• Add components for endpoint bp to c++ as they are currently added directly to the bp
• Door's collision component hasn't saved its collision preset - should be set to block all

Icing/Cherry ToDo

Door sound Door animation Button animation Door texture and model Button texture and model Game complete widget Level complete widget

Level Logic | Update 4 | Commit:#965c825

Changes Moved button sound implementation from the tick method to a timer when the door is opened (apparently using the tick method is bad practice) Sound is now played from the CPP file rather than the blueprint
