Getting ready
Let's define in more detail what we'll implement and how. We'll use
Rays
to detect wheth-
er the player is covered or not and
KeyTrigger
to toggle the entering or exiting cover. If
you're not familiar with the concept of Rays, you can, for example, have a look at the
Fir-
ing in FPS
or
Selecting units in RTS
recipes in this chapter. Cover can be anything in the
scene above a certain height. All of the action in this recipe will be handled by
GameCharacterControl
from the
Following a character with ChaseCamera
recipe.
There are two separate areas we need to look at. One is the cover detection itself, and the
other is related to how the character should behave when in cover.
