In today's test you will be programming a system that allows a player to take control of a creature whenever the player enters a Pod attached to the creature. Below is a video of what the final system should look like:
Some things to note:
- The Pod is rotating.
- The Pod is attached to one of the segments of the creature.
- The player is in FPS mode when the scene starts.
- When the player enters the Pod, the players position will smoothly move to the center of the Pod.
- Also while in the Pod, the players rotation will smoothly rotate so that it faces forward, as per the video.
- While inside the Pod, movement is disabled and instead, WASD steers the creature.
- Pressing z releases the creature and it will go back to it's previous behavior.
- Fork this repository.
- Clone it to your computer.
- Start with either the Godot or Unity starter project in the repo. The repos contain all the Godot and Unity code from this year and last years Games Engines 2 courses, which you are free to reference and use in your solution.
- You can use either the Godot reference or Unity reference, but no other sources or references during the test.
- No collaboration or communication.
- Make regular, commented commits during the test. At least 5.
- At the end of the test, submit your git repo link.
Godot Users:
- Open the scene exam_creature.tscn
- Press p in the running game to pause the Boid's integration
- Press q to quit
- wasd to move
- There is a Docecehedron model in the models folder you can use
- There are behaviors on the Boid node inside the Creature node that you can enable and disable through the editor or code
- There is a scene called collision_test that shows how to detect a collision between a Kinematicbody and an Area
Unity User:
- Open the scene exam_creature
- There is a Docecehedron model in the models folder you can use
