Additional features
You also get a customizable player movement script which allows for multiple modes of player movement controls (top down shooter, shoot-em-up/shmup, and target tracking for usage of the system on enemies as well as players), as well as a multitude of extra sprites, SFX, prefabs and demo scripts relating to the included demo scenes.
The system is linked up with Unity’s InputSystem, allowing for easy remapping of the WeaponSystem controls. With this all combined, after downloading the project asset, you’ll have a working 2D shmup project with tons of included examples, ready to start making your own game (or integrating with your existing).
The system allows for many different bullet pattern configurations and customizations, as well as ricochet (bounce) and bullet impact effects like sparks and blood. The WeaponSystem.cs script contains sliders for every property on the weapon allowing you to easily control properties like bullet count, fire rate, bullet randomness, spread, offsets, and even alternate properties like spread size on an alternating timer system. There are also options to assign ammunition, magazine configurations, reload options and SFX on the weapon configurations you create to fire your custom bullet patterns. This amounts to a huge number of possible bullet patterns and weapon types.
The WeaponSystem script also makes it easy for your player to change weapon types in-game. Either use the built-in weapon configuration and inventory assignment system (with support to re-order, add or remove weapon configurations in-editor to use in-game), or simply set the weapon preset property to one of the 13 default preset weapon types/bullet pattern types.
