P-148 Heist Update 7: Remote Camera, Inventory, Final Coding
I have got most of the coding done for this project, and I am ready to start the art and gui’s, as well as the final level design.
I have added a Remote Camera to the players inventory. This is an camera object which can be thrown a reasonable distance. When it lands, the player can view the camera feed directly on their HUD, and control the camera rotation as well as their own movement. The player can also hack into security cameras using the hacking tool and view their video feed.
The Inventory system is done as well, the player will have access to at least 7 different tools in the initial (concept) release. In future, there will be a complex inventory selection screen, where the player will have a limited number of slots to store equipment, and they will have to choose between different items to customise their loadout for the strategy they intend to use for this particular level.
Edit:
A short video of the remote camera in action is available below:
