PBAB Update #7 - Weapon and Grabbing changes (3/29/19)

Download this update here.

Hey everyone. In PBAB, I want your potential weapons to be versatile. What I mean by that is being able to grab anything around you and use it as a weapon against your foes. I’ve redone the weapon system by splitting weapons into 2 separate properties. Grabbable, and DamageDealer. This mean you will be able to grab boxes, weapons, enemies, weapons that enemies are holding, etc. I’m thinking I should add a glow or sparkle to things you can grab.

As always, if you have suggestions please let me know in the Discord!

Added:

• Split weaponcontroller into 2 scripts: Grabbable and DamageDealer
• Ability to grab enemy hands, boxes, different weapons. Please let me know if it’s hard to tell what you can and can’t grab.
• A new weapon: flail! It’s special ability is that it doesn’t work right now. But it’s fun to swing around.
• Added properties to weapons
• Pause Screen (ESC)
• Added splash screen

Fixes:

• Crossbow not shooting
• Player HP not resetting after death
• Glitch where you couldnt pick up weapons after holding a brawler hand and that brawler dies
• Brawlers would jump forward after pausing
• Swinger wasn’t able to get into the arena
• Player ‘framrate’ independent
• Swinger wasn’t doing damage
• Timescale was staying at 0 after using pause menu to return to main menu

I hope you enjoy! In the next few updates I want to work on making the game more fun. This includes tweaking values like speed, damage, etc.
