Enemies – Part 1 – Static Observers – Part 2

Objectives: 

·        Confirm Correct Setup: Review the previously completed setup of the static gargoyle enemy to ensure everything was done correctly.

·        Validate Component Configurations: Check the gargoyle’s components, including animations and colliders, to confirm they are correctly implemented.

·        Assess Script Accuracy: Review the scripts attached to the gargoyle, particularly focusing on their functionality in detecting the player character.

·        UI and Game Ending Scenario Checks: Ensure the user interface elements for game-ending scenarios, like being caught, are properly set up.

·        Preparation for Next Tutorial Phase: Ready the project for the subsequent tutorial on dynamic observers, ensuring a smooth transition.

Steps:

1. Review Gargoyle Placement:
• Revisit the scene to confirm the gargoyle enemy’s placement. Ensure it is correctly positioned as a static observer in the game.
2. Verify Animator Controller Setup:
• Check the gargoyle’s animator controller to ensure the idle animation is correctly assigned. Confirm that the animation functions as expected.
3. Collider Confirmation:
• Open the gargoyle prefab and verify the presence of a capsule collider. Ensure its settings (center, radius, height) are correctly adjusted.
4. Line of Sight Setup Review:
• Confirm the creation and configuration of the ‘Point of View’ empty GameObject. Check its position and orientation for accurate line of sight simulation.
• Ensure the capsule collider is added to ‘Point of View’, set as a trigger, and properly adjusted.
5. Scripting Review:
• Review the ‘Observer’ script attached to the ‘Point of View’ GameObject. Confirm it includes necessary functionalities for detecting the player character.
6. Prefabrication Completion:
• Save any changes made during the review process to the gargoyle prefab. Ensure the prefab is updated in the game scene.
7. UI for Game End Setup:
• Confirm the setup of UI elements for game-ending scenarios, specifically when the player is caught by the gargoyle.
• Check for the presence of background images for both caught and exit scenarios.
8. Script References Check:
• Verify that the necessary references are correctly assigned in the ‘Game Ending’ script. Ensure all linked objects and images are correctly set up.
9. Game Testing:
• Enter play mode to test the gargoyle’s detection functionality and the game-ending sequences.
• Confirm that the game reacts appropriately when the player character is detected by the gargoyle.
