2D Galaxy Shooter P2: Enemies can Shoot Powerups!

For today’s challenge, I implemented the ability for enemies to shoot power-ups in front of them!

Heyyyy! Why did you do that for? Let me at you!

It was a simple implementation. All I needed to do in the PowerUp script was add a check for enemy projectiles in the OnEnterTrigger2D() function.

if (other.gameObject.CompareTag(“Enemy Projectile”))
{
   Projectile[] projectiles = other.GetComponents<Projectile>();
   for (int i = 0; i < projectiles.Length; i++)
   {
      if (projectiles[i].GetIsEnemyLaser() == true)
      {
         Destroy(projectiles[i].gameObject);
         Instantiate(_explosionPrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
         _audioManager.PlayExplosionSound();
         Destroy(gameObject, 0.2f);
      }
   }
}

I also had to make sure the enemy projectile prefabs had the tag “Enemy Projectile” selected.

That was all! Every time an enemy is in front of a power-up and shoots, it will get destroyed. Easy peasy!

That is all for today! Thank you for your time!
