How I made my 3D Space Shooter in Unity. Ones you open a new 3D Unity Project.
Part 1 The Model.
Now I will show and tell you how to make you spaceship model /player.
1.First you need to drag and drop the light blue 3D model into the scene.
2.You will Drag vehicle_playerShip_orange_dff
On to the light blue 3D model in the scene.
3.Click on the 3D model then On the right hand side click The arrow down on that is under vehicle_playerShip_orange_dff then it should give a option called Normal Map you should Drag vehicle_playerShip_orange_nrm onto it.
4. Next you will want to added a Capsule Collider to the 3D Model And change The Radius to 0.43 and the Height to 1.76. and you collider should look like mine.
5.Then you will want add Rigibody to give it physics and you will want to disable Use Gravity.
Now we will make the effects for the jet.
For the jet effects the first thing you want to do is locate part_jet_core_dff which is found in the Assets – Resources – Effects Ones you’re in the Effects folder bring part_jet_core_dff on to the scene.
The you will want to change part_jet_core_dff into a sprite with the setting shown in the top right of the screen shot above. When you have done and applied it you drag and drop this on to your player model shown in the top left of the screen shot above then you will want to position it accordingly as I did.
Next you will want to make a Script folder to keep every thing organised and then you will make a script called Flash we are making this for the jet to work.
Now you want to copy the script to get the jet to get it to work like a jet the you will need drag the script on to part_jet_core_dff the you’re finished with the jet.
Part 2 The Movement.
Now I will show and tell you how to make you spaceship model /player move.
1.Firstly you need to make script name it what you want so it is easy to locate then you will make some variables (public float speed = 5; private Rigidbody rig; )
This is so we access the rig Body and also assign a speed value for the Player.
2.Next we need to make (rig = GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();)
This will allow us to attach are rig body to the object.
3. Then We use this floats value
(float moveH = Input.GetAxis (“Horizontal”);
float moveV = Input.GetAxis (“Vertical”);)
This lets us calculate the Horizontal And Vertical Position. Then this are applied to a Vector 3 (Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (moveH, 0, moveV);)
This is where your player is.
4.Next you need (rig.AddForce (movement * speed);) which is applied to object/player to give it speed
Next you will need to add a a new public float Named what you want i named mine “tilt” don’t forget to end it with a ; Then you will need to Add rig.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (0.0f, 0.0f, rig.velocity.x * -tilt);
This will be need to control the tilt we first get the rigs rotation transform. Next you set it to be = to a Euler angle within the z axis then using the x value times by our tilt float.
Part 3 The Shooting
Now I will show and tell you how to make you spaceship model/player Shoot.
1. Make a quad and then rotate it 90 degrees within the X axis.
2.Next make a new material in our effects folder called fx_laser_orange
3.Now you will want to drag fx_lazer_orange_dff on to Albedo on fx_laser_orange
4.Then you will want to make the Shader in to a Particles/Additive
-I went on to do some quick drawing of some random weapon ideas and then after drawing some I full decided on a spear weapon.
Just before going to 3D MAX I drew a to scale drawing.
The first thing I did when I went in to 3ds Max I made a plane then I went in to material editor and added a Standard under scanline and then I dragged my best picture in to the material editor and connected it to the Standard “Diffuse color” Then I selected the plane and assign material to selection then show shaded material in viewport. Then shaped the plane so my weapon looked to scale.
When I finished it I through for my first weapon it when pretty well I’m glad that I chose the purple baled color as I think it gives it more of a unique look.
