Journal Entry 4

Date: 22.3.2022

Activity: 

• went through the rest of the Scripting Walkthrough (up to part 4)

Notes:

I don't know whether I understood the following part of the Scripting Walkthrough correctly. When removing the powerup item flickering from the script and incorporating it into the animation, I put the flickering at the end of the Idle animation. The animation duration is thus hard-coded inside the animation and if I needed to change the duration later, I would have to make the change in two places: animation and script. It would also be hard to set different idle durations to two different power-up items.

Update: Resolved on Gamedev Discord, I made the change according to the updated Scripting Walkthrough document.

Invested time:

• Scripting Walkthrough Part 4: 1,5 hours

Outcome:
