Work Post

5:46pm - Well it took a bit to get myself out today, not because I was in bed but because I was chatting and playing games. Hardly a bad thing, I should do it more often. But now I'm at the McDonald's and it's time for work, hopefully.

Today I'm planning on making Triangleman's sword work.

Basically I'm going to make a PlayerSwordController script, hook it into the InputManager, and give it functions to manage the input it gets. I'm going to give it a public function called Attack, and it'll manage which attack animation to do for the sword.

The sword itself will have a trigger collider for a hit box, and the slashes will coordinate with actual attacks.

This is going to be some seriously complicated stuff. I think I'll work it out by building it up. I won't start with the three attack combo, I'll just do a single slice.

6:28pm - I made the animation for the idle state and the first sword swing, but to make the transition on the animator I need to remember how to do animations properly, and I need to do research, and I just got a huge distraction in the form of my secondary Pathfinder group wanting to play right now. So we'll see how that goes...

7:51pm - Yeah we're playing, and I can't focus on my work like this, so I'm going to just focus on that for now.
