ZOmbie shooter part 1 Video Lecture | Construct Tutorial: Become a Game Maker - Game Development

you
hey guys john here with any other
construct to tutorial today we're going
to be doing a top-down zombie-like
shooter but this one's going to be a
little bit more detail than just the
basic shooter because you're going to
have more of a inventory and a system
tour you can actually build stuff so you
will have likes a tin cans and then say
you have like shrapnel whatever in
explosives well you can build some sort
of like shrapnel grenade or say you have
like strips of cloth and some sort of
like gooey like healing medicine you can
create a bandage basic stuff just as for
a lot of guys have been asked or and I
finally actually put together a little
system that's going to work but we're
going to build the entire game or little
tutorial game so you guys can see how I
do it so easy because you have a little
box at these little nodes so that we can
see that we're actually moving we have
an actual gun so we have a flashlight
and the the scenes going to be mostly
dark but I haven't put that in yet
because I wants us to see you know the
basics before we actually get straight
into it so we're going to run the light
the layout I have this in a node WebKit
since it reloads up mr. two powered by
Sierra okay so we have this little guy
and he's moving to direction of our
mouse and then we can move up and down
there's a gun we click on it boom we are
and then we have it and then you've got
a shooting animation shooting enemy she
only has three frames so you're not
actually get it like see a lot but the
link is going to be down below but if
you guys want to test it out or play
around the file but you're going to see
him switch between the actual animations
because it's a little am I going to the
animations are set very different
between idol with gun and him shooting
so you're going to see a little bit
difference also there's a little a frame
change so we're now moving as you can
see I actually increase the frames per
second to 15 so we could see it's a
little bit more hurried and then what
we're going to do is we're going to I'm
going to hit number one and Sierra load
up the frames for him without the guns
so there we go and with just his
flashlight and then he has a hit of x so
what we're going to do is we're actually
going to pin a collision box or 2d box
to his fist and whatever that hit
something it's going to register hey I
just got hit by a box and says if I get
hit by this I have a minus of 15 health
or say he hits a broken wall he can
smash it then so boom and you can just
you can walk around and then he has an
idol alright so if we switch over to
number two boom he has his gun and then
he shoots and his regular idle walk so
very basic stuff I'm gonna go over the
code now okay so the key to all this is
a player state so that you have
basically one so anything that equals
one is going to say hey you're going to
basically play these type of animations
anything to play that is the referent
to state 2 or number two so you played
these sets of animations so for every
tick he's going to angle toward Mouse X
and mouse why that's basically the 2d
coordinates for when your mouse is in
top down mode and you're just flying
circles around the character he's going
to actually look toward what about mouse
is being rendered on your screen and
he's going to look at it so up arrow
pressed and also so if the up arrow is
pressed and the players state is one
we're going to set the Anna set
animation to move on a score flashlight
play from beginning the same thing with
left arrow down arrow right arrow always
checks to make sure that the players
state is one this will allow us to say
well no during player stay too we need
for reference you know move underscore
handgun or idle underscore handgun not
move underscore flashlight no we need to
make sure because to change the state
you have to either press one number key
or two number key and so on and so forth
since there's going to be a couple other
guns so all these are movement and they
reference a player state which is a
global number okay so players Satan or
control number pad again I'm a bad
mortally so 12 this is flashlight this
is going to be the handgun then he's
going to have a couple other guns too so
more some more players stuff so I'm
labeling all this stuff for you guys on
collision with sprite for the handgun
the players is moved to player states
too so you pick it up oh cool i have
found a handgun oh wait it has no ammo
i'm now going to Weaver back to we
caught a player stage one where i can
hit stuff so i left button clicked it's
gonna okay so on left button clicked if
player state is too he's now going to
shoot the handgun so saying okay
he's collected but click references a
lot of action stuff okay let's see what
he's referencing currently were on
players state one so i'm not going to
reference our plating animations shoot
on his drawer underscore handgun i'm
going to reference a idol melee or
something like that so if it is player
state to he's now going to shoot the
handgun also we're going to later add on
to that every time for every click if
it's player stays 2 & the animation is
shoot handgun it's going to be minus 1
on ammunition this is when we start
getting into are basically our items so
in this section of the tutorial we're
moving we're just dealing with the
player on the next section is going to
be collecting items our backpack you I
that we can pull out to see how much mo
we have and everything ok it's ok so if
not moving set animation to idle handgun
if it's player state to and if the eight
direction is also not moving in the
player state is one we're going to
reference idle flashlight if it's placed
81 on start of lay out we're going to
set our place state to one so it's not
inciting hey what do you want us to be
at that point you don't have a gun or
anything you just have a flashlight so
you're going to auto default to players
state one okay so now we're moving on to
the up arrow press player state to so
basically copying everything up above
and saying hey if it's player state to
we're going to move with the handgun
we're going to basically do everything
now with the handgun if it's player
state to so remember it's always
referencing the number it's always
checking sahay's at one or two or in
this case it's going to be three four
and five which number am I on
and what a magician at that point am I
going to default to weapon collision
disappear so on collision with sprite
for destroy on collision respect for you
could actually move that up here which
we can actually do right now we're just
dragging the destroy animation and it's
popping it right up there because we
don't need it anymore okay make stuff a
little bit more slimline ok so that's
everything for now so I'm going to do
the the rest of the animations there's
some handguns there's a shotgun I think
there's a rifle so I'm going to finish
all those and I'm going to do a video on
that so I can show you guys how
everything works and then we're going to
move on to our inventory to where we can
pick up bullets items drop items pick up
items and then after that we're going to
work on our kind of a part two to our
inventory is actually building stuff so
certain items you can build certain
other items that you can't so again like
you could make an explosive if you can
bullet in it or you could put nails in
it or shrapnel which is just junk to
build explosive bombs and everything and
then we're going to work on our final
part which is our enemy and see how they
react to the player and the level of AI
in the type of enemy so again thanks for
watching remember like subscribe comment
down below and I'll see you guys in the
next video bye
