Heres where Im up to with this one. I’ll update this once I’ve got a bit more to it. If you can think of ways to have an enemy sub on the same “plane”(so its actually shootable) let me know. Maybe theres a way thru scripting that I can keep the enemy at the same position on the Y axis as the launcher…

This would be fun with topedoes and slightly faster movement. I like the bubble stream. Some bubbles might look nice coming from the sea floor and maybe some seaweed using this shader http://forum.otee.dk/viewtopic.php?t=1498&highlight=blowing+wind 
Neat. I like the bubble trails. Ctrl shoots, I discovered. (Does anyone else have the problem where ctrl-clicking to go Fullscreen makes Ctrl and the button “stick down” in every Unity webplayer? So you’re “auto-firing” until you hit it again? I reported the bug, but I’ve never heard anyone else mention it and makes the mouse buttons nearly useless in webplayers.)
I’m not sure what you plan for the enemies, but what about using a homing script that only homes on the vertical axis (lerp, or base it on the homing missile tutorial), leaving the player to deal with the aiming left-right? Then your enemies could be on different planes for variety but still get shot just like in a 2D game.
(Also, the mouse seems way too fast–it spins crazily–but I realize that’s just a camera anyway.)
Also, some blue fog might look nice 
Looks like a great start!
LMB should fire torpedoes, and ctrl. when I play it on my pc, firing crashes the game.(Task manager reveals overloaded cpu) Maybe because the instantiated torpedoes have a spinning propeller animation. I’ll remove this because you cant even see it. Might slightly reduce draw distance for better perfomance…
Thanks for feedback
AC
FYI, LMB didn’t do anything for me.
(And I did get a “crash”–the kind I sometimes get with Unity: it SAYS Safari–or my Unity app–has unexpectedly quit… but it hasn’t. This is on Mac.)
Ive removed the propeller and its animation so hopefully the torpedos instantiate properly now
Morgan could you let me know if it works if you have time?
Thanks,
Aaron
This is a case where Apple’s crash reporter thinks it’s smarter than Unity. When accessing an undefined variable in Unity, a null pointer reference exception is generated, which is handled by Unity. But Crash Reporter sees it also and begins creating stack traces and reports that the application has crashed. (Which may hang unity for a while.) There is no official way to disable this behaviour according to apple (apparently it has something to do how Mac OS X simulates Unix signals vs. mach’s native ports…)
I have also added a note about it on the Common Scripting Pitfalls page in the unify wiki.
When you run it inside of Unity it will give you a Null reference exception somewhere. In Unity it gives you some more information of why that is happening. You can double click on the error and that brings you to the line in the script it is happening.
Most likely something like a reference to an object that was forgotten or accessing a componenent that you havent added to a game object. The error message in Unity should tell you more.
Those error messages shouldnt be ignored, you should either fix your script or add some component/assign some reference depending on what it says.
It seems about the same to me, but the problem is intermittent: sometimes the button won’t fire, then a few seconds later it’s working again. So it’s hard for me to say if the new version is better or not, or whether the key has the same problem as the button.
(There is a beachball of several seconds after the player loads but before the game image appears, FWIW.)
Heya, just downloaded it. im using a very up2date windows pc, first time i tried it it crashed my browser (firefox)
second time i got into it, the mouse control is absolutely [word that would probably get me banned for life] 
and i tried pressing left mouse button and the browser froze
not gonna bother with it again, unless an update is launched fixing the probs ^^
havnt had problems with any other web games
(except for lighting being much to dark on most of the older games)
Thanks shallow! Must say I’ve enjoyed your efforts. The mouse has been slowed, and as per other requests, the sub has been sped up. I have found inconsistencies with its performance as far as instantiating torpedoes, Its not updated yet but dont expect it to be the answer to all your expectations…
Not updated yet
AC 
ok, ill give it a try when its been updated
Updated-Id be keen to hear if you have torpedoes or not!
AC
PS Thanks to the guys hoo help with scripting
i just tried the updated version, the thingy moved forwards, i could turn the camera around it, but the second i pressed left mouse button the browser froze
Yeah funny that.The G5 at school handles it, instantiates topedoes and they appear and onCollision are replaced w explosions…The keys are wasd-Did the surface have a wide moving shadow across it?My Gforce4 doesnt render any of that, but it does do blob shadow, which is cool…
So no Instantiating is not working yet so hold off from downloading-Ill fix it on monday 8)
AC
My sub crashed, but not my browser Couldn’t wait. I had to download. Looking even better Targos. I like the moving shadow across the surface. It realy adds to that underwater feel. I remember seeing an underwater shot from a goo ball level. Oh, here it is http://unity3d.com/gallery/main/underwater1.jpg.html Does anyone know how they simulated the caustics and is it animated. This would look cool in your game.
Help! There is a blob shadow stuck to the side of my sub. I’ve only played with blob shadows once and I had the same problem. Is there a way to make the object that the projector is parented to not effected by the blob shadow or is there a certain way to set up a blob shadow for an object so that you don’t get the blob shadow appearing on the object thats supposed to be casting the shadow?
Can’t wait to see more.
oh btw, its defenetly not my pc unable to handle it:
2X2,8ghz
nvidia geforce 7800gt
52mbram
windows xp home sp2
firefox 1.5.0.5
You can use the culling mask in the projector to not render the shadow on the caster.
Just put the player in a special layer, then include that layer in the projectors exclude mask.
Ohh I dont know how youre gonna get on with 52mb ram-looks like you might need to upgrade
Har har just kidding typorama
AC
But seriously, you have 2x8ghtz chips? Did it fall off a NASA truck?
