Fixing Build and new Menu

This was a busy week in terms of fixing the game, which is mainly the build. As the deadline gets closer I wanted to make sure that I could build the game and play through it without any problems. The main problem was that when clicking play on the menu nothing would happen except load the UI and Music that was in the scene. Now the fix for this was pretty simple although it took me quite awhile to find it. What caused this was the post processing was stopping the scene from properly loading and I wasn't able to figure out why but by removing it allowed the build to work perfectly but needing to sacrifice post processing.

Once that was sorted out I wanted to work on creating a thank you scene at the end of the game. I wanted this scene not only to be used as a thank you but also have the ability to pick between replaying, returning to menu or quit the game. All i needed to do was copy the menu scene and tweak it slightly to create the thank you menu.

Improving enemy

Next on the List this week was improving the enemy that I have already. Now it already chases and freezes when the player looks at it and is able to kill the player as well. What I want to do it add the ability for it to teleport after being shot multiple time. This means it is still invincible but lets the player basically hold it off by making it teleport away from them.

This is the code added onto the enemy script which essentially tell the enemy that when it reaches a number under 0 it will teleport to a random positions that I set within the scene which is done by using empty's renaming and putting them in the the spawn point menu on the monster and selecting them which will now cause the enemy to teleport to the .

This is the code added onto the gun controller that lets the enemy code know that when the enemy is clicked on using the gun it will take a point of health away.
