Tuesday Week 11 -multiple level runs working.

Good morning,
This is what I had left last week:
What is left for week 11
  1. **Put a condition to fix the error when the exits are less than 3.
  2. Work on the seed generator for controlled randomization. 
  3. Place restrictions on all controls in the room generator editor. So you can't place the replaced rooms outside the level and the scan lines.
  4. Fix some conditions in chance the quarter can not find a theme room or it the two theme rooms are too close.
  5. Place the furniture , loot and enemies into the level.
  6. Create a function that will repeat the level creation 500 times.
  7.  Scan the area and store the points that were hit. - this is for demonstration purposes to show how many times that area has a tile placed, to demonstrate how different the levels are.
  8.  Store the seed number, the number of tiles used, the  distance to reach the exit and the exit room location
My progress has been,
1. Condition fixed if the exitList.count is less than 3 then randomnumber=0;
2. Seed generator now works. When creating a level you have the option to:
  • create a random level (in the info section of the custom editor you can see the seed id and you can store it in a txt file.
  • Enter the seed number (level id), to reload that level
  • Load a level based  on one of the levels we saved the ID to  the txt file.
3. not done yet for all.
4. not done yet
5. not done yet
6. Completed. At this point I got stuck for the majority of the weekend, because the best to run multiple PLG creations automatically is to reload the scene. That required me  to remove and reorganize code. Removing code from awake and start functions and create a state machine for my PLG. I am happy with it now as the code is more structured and compartmentalized. The states of the PLG Machine are:
  • Off = 0, 
  • SettingPrePlacedTiles = 1, 
  • PlacingTiles = 2, 
  • CreatingExitPath = 3, 
  • CapEnds = 4, 
  • PlacingThemes = 5, 
  • Finished = 6 
We calculate the exit path on purpose before adding the one door rooms to "Cap Ends" knowing that those rooms will not be used for the past from exit, then we cap the ends and then we apply the themes.

7. Will be done today
8. Will be done today

Bellow I have a video showing the details I mentioned above, single run and multiple runs.


Things left to do:
  1. Place restrictions on all controls in the room generator editor. So you can't place the replaced rooms outside the level and the scan lines.* half done
  2. Fix some conditions in chance the quarter can not find a theme room or it the two theme rooms are too close.
  3. Place the furniture , loot and enemies into the level.
  4.  Scan the area and store the points that were hit. - this is for demonstration purposes to show how many times that area has a tile placed, to demonstrate how different the levels are. *TO BE COMPLETED TODAY
  5.  Store the seed number, the number of tiles used, the  distance to reach the exit and the exit room location *TO BE COMPLETED TODAY

Player stats and brightness.

Player stats and brightness. Last week I worked a bit more on the player characteristics, decided on min max values, and did the same for the Enemy stats. I split the visibility factor into 2 values, brightness and motion. Motion will be affected by the movement of the player and the movement in the headpiece and controllers. Brightness is a factor indicating how well lit the player is. So the enemy has skill values for detecting motion sound and smell, it also has a detection generic skill value which is linked with the enemies intelligence. So any light source will have attached a brightness script that triggers and sends a brightness value to the player brightness when the player is in range and increase as the player comes closer to the light source. The player value of Brightness is for now a static value, so multiple light sources can affect it. I still need to cast a ray cast from the light source to the player, if it fails to hit the player then that would indicate that ...

Testing the PLG

Testing the PLG Before I get into the testing section Progress on the tasks remaining Place restrictions on all controls in the room generator editor. So you can't place the replaced rooms outside the level and the scan lines. DONE Fix some conditions in chance the quarter can not find a theme room or it the two theme rooms are too close. *I have decided to ignore this and come back to it if i have time after the documentation. Place the furniture , loot and enemies into the level.  Scan the area and store the points that were hit. - this is for demonstration purposes to show how many times that area has a tile placed, to demonstrate how different the levels are. DONE  Store the seed number, the number of tiles used, the  distance to reach the exit and the exit room location DONE So tomorrow I start working on placing the enemies and loot into the level. Testing Today I ran the PLG in a sequence of 40. I have also added 3 functions at before the PL...

More work done on the interface, saving data.

More work done on the interface, saving data. I would have liked to say that I started on the loot and enemy randomization, but that is not the case. What I thought would be an hour work job took me half a day. I have now finished with the way the randomizing feed is stored. When a level is complete (PLG state is -off) two buttons appear in the inspector allowing the user to store the seed in a whitelist of black list. When the time comes to generate the level the user has a larger option of choices:  Generate a completely randomly level.  Generate a  completely randomly level but it will never be one of the levels we blacklisted (if we tick on use black list). Generate a specific level from a ID we enter. Load a random level that is included in the whitelist. In order the randomization between levels within the list to be equally random before storing the lvl ID we load the current values and check if the Id already exists, if it does then there i...
