Gamespace: Enemies

I wanted to create an enemy that when the player collides with the object points are deducted from the health bar. I also wanted my enemy to fit with the theme and therefore made it look like a raincloud.

This is the inspector for the raincloud enemy. 
The 'Enemy' script is attached and a box collider component is added so that when the player collides with the enemy the script understands that a collision has occurred.


Cloud Enemy Inspector


The Enemy script works by using an 'OnTriggerEnter' function. Therefore, when the player collides with the box collider that encapsulates the rain and rain cloud this function is called.

The variable 'healthBar' is received. 
If the value assigned to the health bar is not equal to nothing, then the health bar takes 10 damage when the player collides with a raincloud.



Enemy Script


To make my raincloud enemy more realistic, I added a particle system so it appeared that the cloud was raining.

The play on awake and looping options were checked as I wanted this particle system to be a continuous stream of particles to resemble rain.

The emission and shape values were tweaked slightly but mostly stayed the same.


Emission & shape for the particle system

The collision was switched on so that if the rain particles collided with the ground, they wouldn't just fall through it. 
Therefore the Type was set to 'World'.

The renderer option allowed me to change the colour of the particles, which I did so that they looked more like rain.

[Research] Traditional Poster Design (4CTA1214)

Image
As you can see from the superman poster, there are only four main colours used which includes red, blue, yellow and brown. All elements are filled in with block colours with no shading which was a common colour theme for traditional posters of this kind. This poster may have been used to advertise a new Superman comic or movie depending on the year it was created. The expression on the characters face fits the title shown on the poster explaining that he is returning. This poster advertised Coca Cola, and looks as though this specific poster was used in the USA - due to the currency used. The whole aim of the poster is to incorporate this drink into working peoples daily lives. This is seen by the slogan, 'Work refreshed' and the small graphics on the bottom right of the poster. Displayed is a man working in a factory environment and a lady is working in an office environment both drinking cola during their breaks - to feel refreshed. In some ways the bottle and
