Team 4 Sprint 3 Feature Ticket 1: Functionality Integrations of MPC

[kprohith]

Description

This feature is dedicated to the integration and functionality improvement of the protagonist attack action using a sword-shield, item pick-up animation, and the effects of buffs/debuffs that can be clearly portrayed through the animation. We need to consider the interactions it needs to perform

• when attacking obstacles
• the type of weapon that is used
• while picking up props and their effect on the player
• activating buffs/debuffs and how these interactions will affect the overall player image.

Therefore, it is also necessary to determine the different images of the main character during the interaction process. Each image should clearly portray the effect of action it has on the player.

Sub Features & Components

• Weapons sprites - The sprites of different kinds of weapons to be used in the game. Ex. : Gun, Sword, Shield, etc.
• Player Attack Action image/animation integrated with the image of the weapon.
• Item Up Animations - The effects of Item Pick Ups on MPC
• Buff/Debuff Animations - Integration of characters images/animations with different statuses (if needed to be changed) due to buffs, debuffs, or player status

Examples

• The player should be able to attack any obstacles by collision or at a particular distance.
• The player should be able to pick up any item and as a result, the picked-up item should be removed from the map.
• The player's image/animation when activating buffs or debuffs.

Dependencies

• Items to be picked up by the MPC（Team 1）#9
• The image of the character while attacking.
• Player buffs and debuffs (Team 3) #10, #117, #118
