I have finally added weapons (small arms, at least) to the project. This isn’t a hugely important feature, so it was not until now that I really looked into it.<\/p>\n

I have used a weapon model from a free unity asset pack, I intend to replace this with one of my own when I can.<\/p>\n

I have added a muzzle flash, bullet hole impact decals, sounds, and spent casings being ejected from the weapon. I have also added a simple inventory system to allow the user to carry the weapon, and draw it when needed.<\/p>\n

The targets that I created now have working collision and animations, so the player can shoot them and they will rotate backwards and then return to their vertical position.<\/p>\n

The gun is also not 100% accurate, I added an offset to each bullet that means the shots will land in the approximate, but not exact, location of the cursor, I think this is a lot more realistic. I could also reduce this offset as the player practices more, etc.<\/p>\n

The muzzle flash that I am using works ok for now, but I plan to try to use a particle effect in the future. Unity’s built in “fire” effect looks great, and if I could use that as a muzzleflash, it would look at lot better than the animated graphic I have now.<\/p>\n
