I've been working on a space invaders like game on Unity 2d for the past month, and at this stage it is completely screwed up at least for me, bullets aren't coming from the enemy, attempts to make bullets fire on repeat aren't going through, a scoreboard which I tried to add has not been working properly, and despite constant attempts at fixing it, the problem are still persisting i’ll post the scripts that are currently in my game

Links aren't working but I will try

is this some automatic code fixing tool? i was hoping someone would actually look at it themselves

it isn't, it's a site for you to post code so it's easier for us to read
so we can refer to line numbers, or use Find tools, etc
sly oasis
Understood
red apex
also as praetor mentioned, focus on one issue at a time. you know the overall picture of your code better than us - show the code that's relevant for one specific issue, once that's dealt with, go on to the next issue
that'll make it easier for us to help rather than posting a lot of code and a lot of issues at the same time
red apex
you were supposed to post links
did you press save like, in your browser lol?
to be clear, the point is to not send files
sly oasis
ok links got it
red apex
for that site, it's the "create paste" button
then you should have a unique link in your browser url bar
don't stress it, there's a first for everything lol
sly oasis
ok if this works, if i had to choose two scripts that are a main issue, you'll see the enemy bullet script and player damage script https://paste.myst.rs/eicqhloh
I appreicate the support
red apex
right so which issue do you want to work on first
sly oasis
the enemy bullet script is a good start
red apex
right but what's the issue you want to start on
also i'm not seeing where the enemy fires?
sly oasis
i though i had included a video showing the game in action
Are you talking about the enemy bullet script?
red apex
i mean in the scripts, i shouldve specified
i'm only seeing 2 Instantiate calls, one for the player shooting, one for spawning enemies, so there doesn't seem to be anywhere the enemy actually shoots?
red apex
and you're reading the EnemyBullet one
i did a ctrl+f through all of them
enemybullet would be for moving the bullet, wouldn't it? it wouldn't be responsible for spawning bullets
sly oasis
So are you saying I'm missing a script
red apex
well, if bullets are supposed to come from the enemies, then yeah
nothing's doing that
could just be part of Enemy, wouldn't necessarily need to be a separate script
sly oasis
Ok that's important to know
I should say that a majority of these scripts are automatically generated, something I realized early on could be problematic, tracking down the incorrections made to some of these scripts is a hassle.
red apex
yeah stay away from AI while learning lol. it's not going to help learning, you need experience that you don't yet have to actually properly use it as a tool (though personally i don't see the value)
sly oasis
While we are on the topic the script that supposedly would lead to my characters taking damage I assume is also incorrect.
red apex
the PlayerDamageTest/Enemy?
using tags can be a bit fragile (consider layers instead), but they seem about right. do they not work?
sly oasis
Unfortunely no
