     One of the first things that I was able to do this sprint was implement the animation triggers for the bots. Between the animators and I we discussed a way to make sure that animation stuff is all done with the same naming convention. That way I can do it once in the code and make it more easily set up between the bots. The only issue we have run into is the transform animation had something wrong on the animators' side, but I still finished implementing it so that all they have to do is add the fixed animation into unity.


    One of the next things that I worked on was making it so the players will enter sudden death when the timer runs out and having the timer say "Sudden Death" instead of a time. In the match timer script, we already had a bool that would be set to true when the timer ran out so all I had to do was make it so when that goes off the players will be respawned back to their spawn points with only 1 hp so that it is whoever hits the other first wins. I also went back and made it so that we have burgers falling down that can kill the player.

     
The last couple things I worked on was adding the audio to the confetti cannon. The audio was tricky at first because the way it works is the ball will destroy itself after impact so the audio would not play because the object was no longer in the scene. So, I made it so the projectile spawns in an object that plays the audio after it hits something and then after the audio plays that object is destroyed.

 
    Lastly the item list was a very simple thing it was just turning on and off the different pictures that the 2d artist made. It was not a very difficult thing, more just a time-consuming thing as I needed to hook everything up. I also had to get the buttons in there and have them work for the controller which wasn't that hard to do.

      This sprint has been very trick as there was a lot of miscommunications between the lead, animators, and I, some of us were not understanding what the other was saying so it led to me being off tack and not having the code trigger ready because the animations were not finished yet.     After that whole debacle I worked on having adjustable stick sensitivity for players. We really wanted this in because we found that for computers the default sensitivity was faster and others were much slower, so we just gave the ability to change it to the player. It was a little bit of a grace period before I could start on this card as well because the pause menu was not set up yet and it wasn't a top priority for the member that had it but once I asked him to switch his cards around so that I can work on it he did so.      I n the meantime, I worked on not allowing you to shoot or place traps in wrong mode as well as only sprinting in bot mode. many playe...

     This sprint we had an over hall of the player controller as when we made it during the first sprint we never tested with 2 controllers and when we did, we say that one player input device could control both players. Obviously, we do not what that to happen and so we made a fix, but it seemed to break more things while fixing the issue we wanted, so I was tasked with remaking the movement. What I did was instead of using Unity's rigid body component and moving the player that way I used their character controller component and was moving the player with that. Doing so seemed to make isolate the player inputs to only one character and the only other issue it brought up was spawning, but I fixed that by adding the component onto the player at runtime.            Something that I did was make some adjustments and additions to the players health. During some playtest we were given the feedback that players couldn't tell their health and ...

     This was the end of our first of seven sprints. Within this sprint a lot of the basic mechanics that we want in the game have been completed, more specifically I completed the spawn, respawn, and health, health packs, damage, and match timer mechanics. The health and damage were probably the most difficult because I haven't done a game that will be local multiplayer before, so I have never made a health pool for the player and implemented a damage system for this type of game. By far the easier part of it all was adding a health pack for the players.      For some reason the spawn and respawn were giving me a little trouble. It was mainly because of the way that damage was being tested the players were already in the scene and there was a script that referenced both of them and that script did all the damage assigning, but when they spawned in, I needed to make it so the player clones could still talk to each other so they can then deal damage to one a...
