Hello! Today we are continuing the pizza delivery game we started. In a game, there have to be consequences for your actions. For example, if you kill this NPC, you won't be able to get this item later. In my game, we will create a different sort of consequence, that is picking up the package. To pick up the package, The delivery driver (you) has to pass over the package icon. This is the mechanic we are going to work on today.
As the delivery driver, it is now your responsibility to not only navigate the bustling streets but also to collect those precious packages. With Unity as our creative canvas, we set out to imbue our game with interactivity and meaningful choices. To accomplish this, we will employ the power of simple if statements and tags. We start by attaching a script to our package icons, ensuring they are distinguishable from the environment. As our delivery driver traverses the city, the script continuously checks if they pass over a package icon. Once the collision occurs, the magic happens. With an if statement, we can trigger a series of actions. We grant the player the ability to pick up the package, awarding them points or activating other game mechanics. Additionally, we may choose to remove the package icon, signifying its successful collection. However, if the player fails to pass over the package icon, no rewards are granted, and the package remains untouched.
This seemingly simple addition adds depth to our pizza delivery adventure. Now, every decision counts, as the player must strategically plan their route to ensure efficient deliveries and maximize their package pickups. It creates a sense of urgency, as missing a package might lead to dire consequences or missed opportunities.
As we infuse our game with these interactive elements, we cultivate an immersive experience, where the player's choices truly matter. The thrill of racing against time to collect packages enhances the gameplay, making it not just a delivery task but a rewarding challenge. So, my fellow game architects, let us wield the power of if statements and tags in Unity to bring life to our package pickup mechanic. Get ready to embark on a thrilling journey where your delivery prowess and decision-making skills will shape the outcome of this pizza delivery game. The streets await you, so pick up those packages and let the adventure unfold!
