2

In this video, we're making another enemy, I've called mine big boy. 3

3

He's bigger, stronger, tougher and drops bombs at the player, 4

4

so let's jump in and make another enemy. 5

5

Let's start by selecting a new laser beam bomb and a new enemy to use. 6

6

So I'll go into my Kenny assets P&Gs, first of all we'll find a new enemy. 7

7

And I think we'll go with maybe a green guy, 8

8

this green kind of butterfly looking dude. 9

9

And we'll drag that into our sprites so we know we are using that. 10

10

And then we'll find a lasers, [SOUND]. 11

11

Scroll down, 12

12

laser red 10 I think looks pretty good as little bombs that are dropping. 13

13

So we'll drag that over into our sprites as well, excellent. 14

14

Now the prefabs, gonna go into the prefabs folder, 15

15

and find one of our existing enemies. 16

16

We'll take Roger, duplicate Roger, and I wanna make a bigger enemy. 17

17

So instead of Roger 1, we'll call this bigger enemy, I don't know, Big Boy, 18

18

there we go. 19

19

That's a good name for a big thing, isn't it, a Big Boy. 20

20

And then I'm gonna go straight for my sprites folder and 21

21

drag in our enemyGreen currently at the moment, enemyGreen5. 22

22

Okay, so back into our Prefabs, find where is Big Boy going? 23

23

Roger 1, Big Boy, we will rename it over in here as well to Big Boy. 24

24

There we go, we'll change the image of Big Boy. 25

25

It's changes, it's updated, excellent. 26

26

Now we'll give it a little bit of color treatment, drag it into the scene so 27

27

I can see when I make these changes what happens. 28

28

This is a pretty crude way of changing the color of a sprite, of an image. 29

29

It's much better if you change it at source. 30

30

But we were making kind of a purply color, yeah. 31

31

Purple Big Boy, there we go, not too terrible. 32

32

Okay, what else do we need to do? 33

33

We've got a rigid body, kinematic, excellent, the enemy script. 34

34

Health, well Big Boy is gonna have more health, we'll say 600 so 35

35

it's a little bit tough to actually destroy. 36

36

Score value 460, tougher to kill, more points to get. 37

37

Shot counter, now we don't actually need to be changing shot counter, 38

38

that's left in there from when we wanted to see it for debug purposes. 39

39

So let's go and tidy that up by finding our script, we need the enemy script. 40

40

Open that up in Visual Studio. 41

41

We just need to change it from serialized field to non-serialized field. 42

42

So let's find shot counter, remove the serialized field cuz we don't need to 43

43

be messing with that anymore, save that up. 44

44

Back over into your Big Boy, so 45

45

Prefabs > Prefabs folder and then Big Boy. 46

46

Let's see over here, okay Min.Time Between Shots 0.2, 47

47

Maximum Time 0.6, not really sure, just guessing. 48

48

Projectile right now, this is where we need to make a new projectile. 49

49

So I'll come back to that in a moment. 50

50

Let's just finish up going through these things in Big Boy and make sure it's okay. 51

51

So Projectile Speed, we're gonna have it really slow, we'll see how 2 goes. 52

52

Explosion, yeah, Death Effect, and laser, we'll just go and randomly pick a Laser4. 53

53

I think that might be okay, and then shoot sound volume, okay. 54

54

Everything else is pretty good. 55

55

What I would like to do is to make Big Boy bigger, so I'll go back to my sprites. 56

56

Find the enemyGreen, and then I'm gonna rename it while I'm here Big Boy. 57

57

Just to show that I'm actually changing something in here to make this 58

58

a 50 under pixels per unit I'm gonna apply. 59

59

That should make it tons bigger. 60

60

Okay, a little bit more bigger and 61

61

menacing on the screen just by changing the pixels per unit. 62

62

Now back to Prefabs> Big Boy, 63

63

make sure we've done everything we need to do in there. 64

64

Damage deal script, I think that's everything. 65

65

Okay, now over to our projectile, let's find our enemy laser. 66

66

Duplicate enemy laser, we'll call this in here we'll call it, Enemy Bomb. 67

67

Okay, and then clicking on Enemy Bomb. 68

68

And then let's go to our Sprites folder, find my LaserRed10, 69

69

drag that over into where the sprite is. 70

70

And then drag our prefab from our Prefabs folder, 71

71

it's just taking a moment to update. 72

72

We can right-click and do a refresh or a re-import and that updates it. 73

73

Okay, drag that in, it's been tinted with yellow. 74

74

I want to tint it more of a red color, a lighter kind of red. 75

75

Maybe a darker kind of red, there we go. 76

76

Need to change the collision on this, 77

77

because we're using the previous capsule collider. 78

78

I right-click, remove component, and then instead add a component and 79

79

I'll do collider, let's see, kind of boxy in shape. 80

80

So do a box collider, actually no, I'm gonna change my mind on that. 81

81

I'm gonna do a circle collider and Add Component, Circle Collider 2D. 82

82

Yeah, I think that's a little bit more indicative of what I'm going 83

83

for, excellent. 84

84

So I have a collider, we've got our Rigid Body 2D. 85

85

We've changed the color, we've changed the name of it, it's all looking pretty good. 86

86

Does it have its appropriate script, Damage Dealer script? 87

87

How much damage, still just 100, I think that's okay. 88

88

Right, save that up, now we need to spawn these guys. 89

89

So let's go to Waves, and what I'm gonna do is make another path, actually. 90

90

So I've already got a couple of instances in my path in the scene. 91

91

They're not doing anything in here, this is just so 92

92

I can easily duplicate and then edit. 93

93

So I've got Path (2), if I open that up and look at Waypoint (0), click on W. 94

94

Where are we gonna make this? 95

95

Let's make it go right from the top, and 96

96

remembering that the top starts just outside of our camera. 97

97

Waypoint 1, coming down from the left, waypoint 2, zig to the left a little bit. 98

98

And then waypoint 3, down to the right. 99

99

So it's basically just zig-zagging its way across the screen. 100

100

Maybe we'll make that a little bit more to the right, and 0 over to the left. 101

101

Zig-zags its way down the screen, bombing the player the whole time, 102

102

I think that would be good. 103

103

Actually, we need to have it over to the side. 104

104

We don't want the player just to stand over to the left and 105

105

be like, you can't touch me. 106

106

We wanna actually cover the whole play space, as this particular enemy 107

107

comes down through the world so that the player fears for their life. 108

108

And then they zero in on the player and bonk into them, okay, cool. 109

109

So find our Paths folder, drag path2 down there and in. 110

110

Like I said, I don't need any of these, so I'm gonna go ahead and delete them. 111

111

They're just there so I can duplicate, make extra copies of new things. 112

112

But I can do that by dropping one of my existing prefabs in as an instance. 113

113

And then to create something new or I could just duplicate a path down in here. 114

114

Now to our Waves, let's find our Waves folder. 115

115

I'm going to click on Wave number 1 and change it from Roger to Big Boy, Big Boy. 116

116

And then from Path Prefab instead of Path 0 do Path (2), 117

117

time between spawns 0.5 and 0.3, we'll see how that goes. 118

118

And I'll show you number of enemies we'll say 6,and then the movements be we'll say 119

119

2, so they're coming nice and slowly into the screen. 120

120

Let's see if we've captured everything in there or 121

121

if we've forgotten anything at all. 122

122

I should delete these couple of guys from the screen, but 123

123

we'll leave it as now as is. 124

124

Okay, so we haven't given it the projectile that we want and 125

125

they're a little bit spaced close together. 126

126

So let's find the enemy wave, so Wave 1. 127

127

The time between spawns, we'll say 1, random factor 0.5, hopefully that's okay. 128

128

6 move speed, seemed okay at 2. 129

129

And we've got a null reference exception that'll give us some clues here. 130

130

Object reference not set to an instance, so Big Boy that we've dropped into 131

131

the scene, that's just the one we're playing around with. 132

132

So we'll delete here and then we'll delete the other one out of the scene. 133

133

That should clear up those errors that we've had. 134

134

Now we need to change the projectile and 135

135

we do that by clicking on Big Boy and saying that his projectile, 136

136

instead of Enemy Laser, is going to be the Enemy Bomb. 137

137

Okay, let's click play Do a little bit [SOUND] shoot, 138

138

out he comes dropping some bombs. 139

139

Those bombs are dropping mightily fast, we need to space them out a little bit, 140

140

and he's a bit too easy to kill. 141

141

Okay, so health we haven't changed the health on Big Boy in our prefab. 142

142

So let's make the health say 600, actually you know what? 143

143

I'm gonna be nasty and make it a 1000 and then score value we'll say, 460, 144

144

for example. 145

145

And then Projectile Speed, I think a little bit faster, so 146

146

a 3 on the Projectile Speed. 147

147

And then what I'm looking for? 148

148

Prefabs, Big Boy, we want him shooting. 149

149

So minimum time between shots, that's way too little, so we'll say 1.5, and 150

150

the maximum time between shots we'll say 2.5. 151

151

We'll see how that goes. 152

152

Actually, we'll say from 1 to 2, see how that is. 153

153

Projectile speed, I think, little bit faster, we'll say 5. 154

154

And then we'll click on play, see how that tuning is, [SOUND]. 155

155

Okay, we've got him coming out [SOUND], shooting, shooting, it's taking awhile. 156

156

The whole point of this is it takes a while to shoot and to kill, 157

157

and then we're still killing it when these other ones come out. 158

158

So I've got bullets going everywhere, a little bit of bullet hell, 159

159

which is exactly what we want. 160

160

We could spawn another wave of them, here they come now. 161

161

Okay, so I haven't got a lot of variety in my waves, 162

162

I haven't really tuned that a lot. 163

163

But for now, I think this is a pretty good wave, 164

164

that it's creating some good dodging and [SOUND]. 165

165

Yes, okay, I like it, I like it a lot. 166

166

Okay, so we got ourselves a new enemy, a new wave, a new path, a new projectile, 167

167

everything's working well, it's all lining up. 168

168

And I just wanted to go through that whole process so 169

169

we're testing out every bit of it. 170

170

So reminding ourselves as well of how we add tons of variation into our game. 171

171

In the next video we'll add a little bit of spice into that projectile so 172

172

it looks a little bit more interesting as well. 173

173

But for now my challenge to you is to add MOAR. 174

174

So add more enemies, add more paths. 175

175

Add more visual effects, add more sound effects, and 176

176

to show us what you got when you have done all of that. 177

177

So get in there and really play around, 178

178

have some fun with making some challenge for the player. 179

179

Making some variety, making different things, different enemies, 180

180

different colors, everything. 181

181

So now's a good time to play around with what we currently have and 182

182

to throw a whole bunch of more content at your game and see how it feels. 183

183

Okay, and please do share with what you've got, I would love to see it. 184

184

Great work and I will see you in the next video.
