Shields and Rewards

Part of the Game Architecture in Unity section of Coddy's Unity journey. Lesson 57 of 64.

Challenge

Medium

Add the shield, and make each wave drop a reward.

Shield implements IPickup: Collect calls hero.Protect(duration) and destroys the shield.
In Hero, public void Protect(float seconds) sets safeUntil = Time.time + seconds;.
Give Wave a public GameObject reward. When a wave is cleared, before the rest, the spawner drops it, if set, at its own position.

Press Play and clear wave 1: a heart appears in the middle. Then Check.

Try it yourself

public interface IPickup
{
    void Collect(Hero hero);
}
