Team 4 Feature Ticket Sprint 2 - Main Player Character Obstacle, Item and Attack Interactions and Animations

[LIU-Evelyn]

Description

This feature will be based on the moving image of the main character in the game, which includes unifying the aesthetic image of the main character and changing the image while doing the action. We will consider how the protagonist will avoid obstacles or monsters when collisions happen. This attack effect is implemented so that the protagonist can actively remove obstacles if he cannot avoid them.

SubFeature/component

• Basic image - The images of the character movements #6
• The image when performing actions: Moving, Running, Jumping, Crouching and Attacking #6
• Image when picking up items/props - if he needs to pick up etc. When possessing a weapon, it should appear when the character is attacking #136
• Visualisation of characters images in different statuses caused by buffs, debuffs, or player status. (Future components) #136

Examples

• The player should be able to move by either destroying or avoiding the obstacles and monsters.
• The player should be able to pick up functional items automatically when colliding with them.

Dependencies

• Obstacles implementation affects the realization of the player's interaction with obstacles.（Team 8）#14
• The image of the character depends on the interaction and the status of the character while running.（Team 2 & Team 1) #9, #7
• Player buffs and debuffs (Team 3) #10
• Weaponry is considered as items that need to be added to the character image - weaponry shown along with attacking movements. #158

Hi team4, team 1 will not be implementing the weapon pickup in this sprint, as we have already got enough features and coders do not have enough time to implement this in sprint2. And btw way our props store is doing a shield feature, which might need you guys to switch to the shield protected mode after the player bought the shield in the prop store. Of coz our designers will draw the character with a shield image. Thanks! If you have any questions you can contact our coder, thanks! @PaddyZz @Yonarp

Hi, this is team8. We are doing a missile attack on the spaceship boss. One of your designers asked us if we would set up obstacles based on the character's crouch pose. We made relevant attempts but failed. We found that this is because the character crouch only changed the character's animation, but did not change the actual height of the character. As shown in this video, no matter what pose the character does, his height remains the same.

Maybe you can try to change the height of the character when the crouch pose event is triggered. We will temporarily set the missile according to the height of the character. If you make the corresponding change, could you contact us?

Yes, will look into it and let you know. In the last sprint, we only implemented the animations.
