I am making a game, where player can create a cubes on touch.
Cubes passing energy from MainCube ( source ). And whenever one of the cube “Died” or “Disabled”, I want it to check its neighbours if they have connection to MainCube - if NOT, than they lost their energy and it’s piped got coloured to red. If YES, then they renew their energy and it’s piped got coloured to green.
Example 01 - Everything is fine, everything connected to MainCube ( Green Cube ). Any other cubes are additional cubes, that was created by PLAYER.
Example 02 - This is wrong, because one cube that was connected to MC was deleted\disabled, so any other cube have no connection, and all of they should be RED.
Example 03 - This is right, because cubes, that had access to main source of energy was destroyed.
Example 04 - This is right, because only one element that was connected to main source was connected.
About code:
I already lost my mind over the code, and think it’s wrong. I tried to give a a main source to each new created by PLAYER cube, to the cube it was attached. And then, if someone get disabled, it sends DeathMessage to all it neighbours but MainSource (Neighbour), so who ever was dependent on a Cube that was destroyed, get notified that they lost heir Main Source of Energy, and need to send it to another neighbour, and paint them red, unless they have more than one Source element, after deleted previous.
Then cube with additional source element should send to cubes who lost their energy power to change their main source power and power and paint themselves to green.
My problem is that I lost my mind on this, and not sure how to really implement it.
CODE:
// TODO: Check if this variable even needed;
public bool isPowered = false;
// Cube - neigbour with energy flow
public List<GameObject> sourceCubes = new List<GameObject>();
public List<GameObject> neighbours = new List<GameObject>();
public void CheckingInformationAboutNeigbours(GameObject cube)
{
if (cube.name == "MainCube")
{
sourceCubes.Add(cube);
neighbours.Add(cube);
isPowered = true;
}
else
{
bool power = cube.GetComponent<EnergyConnectionScript>().isPowered;
if (power)
{
sourceCubes.Add(cube);
isPowered = true;
if (neighbours.Count > 6)
Debug.LogError("There is more neigbours then it should be");
}
neighbours.Add(cube);
}
}
