9:45 Unity – Using Triggers continued….

Let’s continue with the OnTrigger method to tackle a stored power up – which will allow for a stored double jump and we will try to make a shield to protect our character from any obstacles.

First, I put in some code fix for our player script. Specifically a change to the CheckForGrounded method. You’ll find the code in the CAWD2 public folders. This should take away any double jumps you have going on. Hopefully.

Adding power ups to our game creates a scenario where it’s necessary to use conditional logic. If the player collides with a power up, they should have the abilities of that power up active. However, sometimes those special abilities interact with other systems in the game. For these reasons, it’s important to pay close attention to how our IF statements are structured. Once we enable a power up, we do want it to go away after it is used. We’ll use boolean variables for this.

The OR operator is represented by two vertical pipes || which are typically located above the Enter or Return key on your keyboard. If the values on either side of the operator are true, then the whole statement will be true.

if (true || true) { // ...this code WILL execute, because both values are true. }
