Want to buy game-ready Powerups (scripts)

Getting Started

Hi,

I was searching asset store, but it seems there are no such things there… So basically I want to buy standard pack of powerups any runner game has - 2X score, Magnet etc. May be I missed anything on the asset store? Are there any things like this for unity? Any help and advice are much appreciated.

I don’t see how such an asset would work. Powerups affect the logic of your game. Integrating some “stock” assets with the custom logic of your game would require more code than just writing them specifically for your game.

(Unless you’re just talking about 3D models, and not the functionality.)

Hmm…yep, I meant functionality. Well, the way I see it - it could be some “AttractableCoin.cs” script which I would

  1. Assign to a coin prefab,
  2. Change it’s ‘trigger’ bounding box size
  3. Drag my Player character to this script’s “Attract to” empty slot so that it knows where to attract coin to.

Then probably I would have magnet “MagnetPowerup.cs” which I would assign to a magnet-like prefab and assign a tag/layer named “Coins” in this script drop down list or smth like that. But since I’m not a programmer at all - not sure if it’s possible :slight_smile:

There might be a specific case or two that could be provided off-the-shelf, but generally these things are too dependent on your game code to work. It sounds to me like, to take this game much further, you’re going to have to become a programmer. :slight_smile:

Oh… yep, I guess so :wink:

You might find something like this in a larger generic runner framework. Otherwise its down to getting someone to write the code.

Yep, that’s another option. Thanks!
