Awesome, appreciate the support!

Thanks ❤️

❤️ We keep it going

Yeah that'd be great, anything UI related I think is a perfect match for scriptable objects

using UnityEngine; namespace PowerUp { public class SpeedBuffPowerUp : MonoBehaviour { [SerializeField] float _currentSpeedBuff = 0f; [SerializeField] float _maxSpeedBuff = 10f; [Space] [SerializeField] float _currentDuration = 0f; [SerializeField] float _maxDuration = 5f; [Space] [SerializeField] bool _isActive = false; private void Update() { if (_isActive) { _currentDuration -= Time.deltaTime; float _normalizedDuration = Mathf.InverseLerp(0, _maxDuration, _currentDuration); _currentSpeedBuff = Mathf.Lerp(0f, _maxSpeedBuff, _normalizedDuration); if (_currentDuration < 0) { DisableBuff(); } } } public void EnableBuff() { _currentSpeedBuff = _maxSpeedBuff; _currentDuration = _maxDuration; _isActive = true; } public void DisableBuff() { _currentSpeedBuff = 0f; _currentDuration = 0f; _isActive = false; } /// /// The Player script can get this method and add to his current speed. /// /// public float GetSpeedBuff() { return _currentSpeedBuff; } } }

Use Mathf.Lerp() function.

I think the Player could have a Monobehaviour with the effect method and the Scriptable Object just get the component and invoke it.

You could also use a coroutine in order to regulate powerup times

I'm kinda late but did u find a way to do it ? i couldn't.

Every time I see a BMO vid drop i feel like i just picked up a powerup

i think it should be on the player controller and the powerup simply activates it, in this case it starts a timer

For anyone reading this now, what I did was similar to what Xelfist suggested. On my Player class, I made a PowerupEffect currentBuff variable and a bool for whether or not we're buffed, and a timer for the buffs. I also added an "UnApply" function to PowerupEffect. For non-timer based powerups, we just leave this function empty. In timer based powerups, we send in the buff being activated to the player, so now the player has access to the UnApply method for this buff. The player has a "BuffMovementSpeed" method that has taken in the buff and amount, applied it to the Player's movement speed, started the buff timer which counts down in Update, and once it hits 0, we call "currentBuff.UnApply(this.gameObject)" in Update function. We send the player gameobject back to the speedbuff, so the speedbuff can unapply the exact speed boost it applied to the player's movement. I send a gameobject in because my PlayerMovement script is a separate script from the player and it's easy to access through GetComponent in the speedbuff class. My way means you'd only have one buff active at a time, but if you want multiple buffs active you may have to play with a dictionary that maintains the duration of each buff and a collection of each buff on the player, and update is continuously updating the dictionary with new timers for each buff. If player walks over a buff that already exists in their activebuffs dictionary, just add time to that buff's timer.

the SO is handling the actual changing of the stats, the object that is sitting in the scene is just a container to hold the SO so you can use prefabs to make it look however you like, as long as that object in the scene has a trigger collider it will give a powerup using the SO

i think i would know how to make a speed buff for 10s. so try to make a timer, which you can look up on yt how to do, which counts for an x amount that feels right (you make it with time.deltaTime) and you put the code that gives you the buff in that while loop where your timer is also try to make the timer stop when it finishes, because if your game lasts long, the timer might count high up which may cause lag. i am awfully sorry for a 10 month late answer, but i hope this worked and helped

"The object obj is destroyed immediately after the current Update loop, or t seconds from now if a time is specified." I looked it up, good to know!

i think i would know the answer to the second question. try to make a bool in the health script which checks if the health is full or not. reference the health script in the powerup script an make an if statement: if !healthIsFull then destroy the game object. i may be 9 months late to your question but i so hope it helped and it will work.

That sounds like a less than ideal implementation. The buff should be responsible for it's own behavior.

I have a loot system tutorial

Hey thanks! I'm using a special scriptable object variable for my health/maxHealth (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKx_eqqe0cWyZps.html) ...but you can 100% just use floats! public float health; public float maxHealth; public void TakeDamage(float amount) { health -= amount; }

@@BMoDev Awesome, thank you! I am going to watch your video and likely rip my code up because your way seems to be much more efficient to keep track of in the long run. Watching the other video now :)

Yep

Would love to see a video about that :)

Why do you use such complex words? Just say that there should be a list of modifiers added by an interface instead of GetComponent() calls to directly modify variables. What I don't quite understand is how you know which variable to modify. A Dictionary with an Enum? String? Reference? And what you mean by preview before applying.

Make a video about it then if you're going to give such harsch criticism with no actual proof of you being able to create something like that.

have the same problem but removing .value didn’t work :’) asking for any help!
