Have to Design a 2d cum 3d game something like a mario,sonic

Hi ,

Regarding my course on Game Design since I am pretty new to unity I have a task of designing a role based game like a mario, sonic sega version and for doing so I can animate the characters. Say I import a character from any known asset type. Now I need to add a shooting skill to my player such that say on Fire1 button (ctrl) it fires something which on contact with someone explods and the person is spawned.

Please let me know how to do the same. I do not want something like the FPS tutorial as I have a player whom i can see on a whole. How can I add this attribute of fire in him.

Hello,

There’s almost no difference between a FPS and a 3PS game as far as learning Unity. The only difference is on an FPS game you have a camera in place of a character model for the player (and the controls are a little different generally to make movement feel smoother).

But as far as shooting, jumping, etc, go, learning one will teach you the other. Definitely check out the Lerpz tutorial from the main site – going through that tutorial should teach you all of your questions!

Good luck!
