Balloon Gun Rework
Evil Behaviours
Balloon Gun Rework
This was the last tool I needed to formerly finish before finishing the story, it was a requirement for crossing the big river to reach the story end zone.
The balloon gun arm still spawns balloons from the arm tool, however they are better suited for physics. See, Unity, in all its glory, SUCKS at physics chains; physics objects being connected by joints in a "chain". Previously, balloons added another link to the ragdoll chain and it caused issues. It made gameplay with it really buggy and glitchy so I've reworked it like this:
Before: Balloon attaches to arm chain which eventually pulled torso up
After: Balloon attaches to torso which immediately pulls up BUT visually it's attached to the arm.
This greatly reduced the complexity of the physics chain. So now it constantly applies an up force to whatever physics body it is intended to eventually pull.
Evil Behaviours
This one was pretty cool to implement since a lot of it was just calling previously existing function calls. But basically, when in hostile/evil mode, a robot will NOT:
respond to detach attempts
respond to piggyback rides
respond to commands
I don't want to spoil the reason as to why she would eve become evil but it is related to the story so I'll have you find that out yourself in the June update release!
SO, with these last two reworks/features, THE STORY MODE IS COMPLETE. Of course I have not shown off ANY dialog or story sequences because that's to be a surprise! However from here on out to the June release is a mad dash to polish and ensure everything is working! There may be some small reworks here and there but in general I won't be implementing anything major anymore.
Stay tuned! REAL SOON!
