Shooting those baddies!
Now that we have enemies, we need to create a way to get rid of them. Let's create a
weapon for your player character, which he can fire at the enemies to remove them.
At the end of this project, we will also write a script so that the enemies can hurt the player.
Prepare for lift off
For the weapon, we will again search for a sprite from the Scratch library. With a few
changes, this can be turned into a spear for the diver to use.
1.
Click on the
choose sprite from library
icon.
2.
Browse the
Things
category to search for a suitable projecile.
3.
The
Magic Wand
looks like a useful opion so we pick that.
4. Change the name of the sprite to
Spear
.
5. Next, open the
Costumes
editor to make some changes to the picture.
6. Check whether the editor is in
Vector Mode
.
7. First, we use
Select
to select the image and then use
Ungroup
.
8. Then, we can use
Select
to select the yellow lightning bolts individually and
delete them by clicking on the
Delete
buton.
9. We change the colors to match to that of the diver's more closely. Change the
shat to orange, the ip to yellow, and choose a dark orange or brown color for
the outline. Use the
Color a shape
tool to apply the changes.
