Good point, I will do it as part of this. |
Maintain an array of CharacterSight areas and emit the signal when the array changes.
The powerup scene gives one ability when picked upon interaction. It displays a dialogue telling the player about the new ability. The default dialogue just says "new ability: ABILITY NAME". It has a collected signal that can be used to display input hints for the corresponding ability. Or doing other side effects, like zooming out the camera when the longer thread powerup is picked. It has a ripple effect that can be colored, so we can have color codes for the abilities. The asset is a SpriteFrames that is proxied so it can be customized.
- Add Repel powerup to ink_combat_round_1 and NO_EDIT_combat. And display the input hints when collected. - Add Grapple powerup to grappling_hook_start. And display the input hints when collected, instead of from cinematic dialogue. - Replace longer thread powerup in grappling_hook_powerup with this new component.
The speed after the projectile gets hit.
Add the 2 powerups needed. Make the level a bit easier by using a projectile scene with the hit speed set to a low value. Also: - Use lore assets: ink drinker character, ink blob, inkwell. - Remove unneeded HUD and sign post. - Use the new elevation_2 tileset and repaint it as terrain. - Paint Void tiles as terrain, so they have the embroidery. - Add more Void tiles around to constrain the player. - Make the island at the north a 3x2 tiles (was a 2x2 square) so the player has more space for aiming.
This is how it looks now. @Zer0LoL what do you think? I changed the level a bit and slowed down the projectiles to make it a bit easier: (YouTube unlisted video because direct upload didn't work) |

I think you meant to remove this line so that the player-character has to pick it up?

Or if not, the powerup should not be in the scene?

Oh I thought I did it, but it looks like I forgot to add the change to Git. Thanks!

Because the material is not local to scene, observing any powerup causes every powerup to glow:

I'll push a fixup.

Thanks for the fixup.

This colour appears darker than the yellow one below (see in the video above). Not a blocker, just an observation.

Yes I will make it a lighter blue. It is hard to pick colors for these because we also have the color code for the memory/imagination/spirit (yellow/green/red). Maybe when we have actual assets for the powerups it will be better.

I was hoping to see this. I have been sceptical of objects in the world that you can walk through (e.g. arguing that the collectible threads should have a collider) but in this case I think it makes sense for the powerup to become a ghost once you have collected it, because it lets us barricade a pathway with a mandatory powerup.

I quite liked the way that you previously had to use the grappling hook to pick up the powerup! This is fine though.
How about res://scenes/quests/lore_quests/quest_002/3_void_grappling/void_grappling_round_2.tscn? It has another "make the thread longer" powerup.

It will be trivial to add a HookableArea to it, let me do it!
Also good catch, I totally forgot about the same powerup in the following level. In the current form it will appear as ghost, because the ability has been already granted. I will just do that rather than removing it. As discussed in private, in the future we may split this quest in 2, for collecting the longer thread modifier in a separate quest.
Change it to a CharacterBody2D and add a HookableArea.

@wjt ready for review again! |

Actually one more thing: I can improve the zoom-out when longer thread is collected using the |
2 participants
InteractArea: Emit signal when characters start/stop seeing it
Maintain an array of CharacterSight areas and emit the signal when
the array changes.
Add powerup for abilities
The powerup scene gives one ability when picked upon interaction.
It displays a dialogue telling the player about the new ability.
The default dialogue just says "new ability: ABILITY NAME".
It has a collected signal that can be used to display input hints
for the corresponding ability. Or doing other side effects, like
zooming out the camera when the longer thread powerup is picked.
It has a ripple effect that can be colored, so we can have
color codes for the abilities. The asset is a SpriteFrames that
is proxied so it can be customized.
Use powerup in lore and template quests
Projectile: Export hit speed
The speed after the projectile gets hit.
unify_abilities_test: Add powerups and improve test level
Add the 2 powerups needed. Make the level a bit easier by using a projectile scene with the hit speed set to a low value. Also:
