In-Depth Information
This script handles the two types of possible collisions by handling
OnCollisionEnter
and
OnTriggerEnter
messages. Consequently, it sends
Collect
message to the colliding object
and provides itself as the owner. This results in a generic collecting script that can collect any
object as long as it handles
Collect
message, and not only keys. Before carrying on, it is a
good idea to revise the list of scripts we need: we will use a
PhysicsCharacter
with
FPSIn-
put
. These two scripts should be attached to capsule that represents the character and has
the camera added as a child. In order to collect collectables, we need both
InventoryBox
and
CollisionCollector
scripts. Now we have to make an object that resembles the key we need to
collect, and add the
CollectableKey
script to it. For example, you can make a simple key shape
like in Illustration 79.
