Recap: Turret
Part of the Physics and Gameplay section of Coddy's Unity journey. Lesson 44 of 63.
Challenge
MediumWrite the turret's script. The tank drives with the arrows (its script is ready), and the turret, a little taller than the tank, keeps it in its sights:
- It turns toward the tank at
turnSpeed(90) degrees per second, never faster, and around its y axis only: it never tips up or down. - Space fires a shell (
shellPrefab). The shell starts 1 unit in front of the turret's center and 0.5 above it, in the turret's own directions, and faces the way the turret faces (the ready-made Shell script flies it forward).
Press Play, drive around and fire, then Check.
