# Airplane Selection & Abilities - SETTINGS-BASED IMPLEMENTATION
|
||||
|
||||
**Date**: December 6, 2025
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - Pure Settings Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 SIMPLIFIED ARCHITECTURE
|
||||
|
||||
**NO ScriptableObject assets needed!** Everything configured in `AirplaneSettings`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Changes from Previous Design:
|
||||
- ❌ No `AirplaneTypeData` ScriptableObjects to create
|
||||
- ❌ No ability ScriptableObjects to create
|
||||
- ✅ All configuration in `AirplaneSettings` asset
|
||||
- ✅ Abilities created from settings at runtime
|
||||
- ✅ Simple enum selection (Jet/Bobbing/Drop)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 📋 IN-ENGINE SETUP (3 SIMPLE STEPS)
|
||||
|
||||
### **STEP 1: Configure Settings (5 minutes)**
|
||||
|
||||
Open `Tools > Settings > Airplane Settings`
|
||||
|
||||
You'll see **collapsible sections** for each airplane type:
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Jet Plane Configuration**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Display Name: "Jet Plane"
|
||||
Prefab: [Assign jet airplane prefab]
|
||||
Preview Sprite: [Assign preview image]
|
||||
Ability Type: Jet
|
||||
Override Mass: □ (optional)
|
||||
Override Gravity Scale: □ (optional)
|
||||
Override Drag: □ (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Jet Ability:
|
||||
├─ Ability Name: "Jet Boost"
|
||||
├─ Ability Icon: [Assign icon sprite]
|
||||
├─ Cooldown Duration: 5.0
|
||||
├─ Jet Speed: 15.0
|
||||
└─ Jet Angle: 0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Bobbing Plane Configuration**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Display Name: "Bobbing Plane"
|
||||
Prefab: [Assign bobbing airplane prefab]
|
||||
Preview Sprite: [Assign preview image]
|
||||
Ability Type: Bobbing
|
||||
|
||||
Bobbing Ability:
|
||||
├─ Ability Name: "Air Hop"
|
||||
├─ Ability Icon: [Assign icon sprite]
|
||||
├─ Cooldown Duration: 3.0
|
||||
└─ Bob Force: (7, 10)
|
||||
• X = Forward force (horizontal momentum)
|
||||
• Y = Upward force (vertical lift)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**How It Works:** Applies diagonal impulse force using Vector2 configuration. X controls forward momentum, Y controls upward lift. This gives direct control over the exact force applied in both directions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Examples:**
|
||||
- `(0, 15)` - Pure vertical jump
|
||||
- `(10, 10)` - 45° diagonal boost
|
||||
- `(12, 5)` - More forward than upward
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Drop Plane Configuration**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Display Name: "Drop Plane"
|
||||
Prefab: [Assign drop airplane prefab]
|
||||
Preview Sprite: [Assign preview image]
|
||||
Ability Type: Drop
|
||||
|
||||
Drop Ability:
|
||||
├─ Ability Name: "Dive Bomb"
|
||||
├─ Ability Icon: [Assign icon sprite]
|
||||
├─ Cooldown Duration: 4.0
|
||||
├─ Drop Force: 20.0
|
||||
├─ Drop Distance: 5.0
|
||||
└─ Zero Horizontal Velocity: ☑
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Default Selection**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Default Airplane Type: Jet
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **STEP 2: Build UI (10 minutes)**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Selection Panel:
|
||||
```
|
||||
AirplaneSelectionPanel (+ AirplaneSelectionUI component)
|
||||
├── TitleText ("Choose Your Airplane")
|
||||
├── JetPlaneButton
|
||||
├── BobbingPlaneButton
|
||||
├── DropPlaneButton
|
||||
└── ConfirmButton
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Component Configuration:**
|
||||
- Jet Plane Button → Assign button
|
||||
- Bobbing Plane Button → Assign button
|
||||
- Drop Plane Button → Assign button
|
||||
- Confirm Button → Assign button
|
||||
- Selected Color: Yellow
|
||||
- Normal Color: White
|
||||
- ☑ Start inactive
|
||||
|
||||
**NO airplane type assets to assign!**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Ability Button:
|
||||
```
|
||||
AbilityButton (+ AirplaneAbilityButton component)
|
||||
├── Background (Image)
|
||||
├── AbilityIcon (Image)
|
||||
├── CooldownFill (Image - Radial 360)
|
||||
└── CooldownText (TextMeshPro)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Component Configuration:**
|
||||
- Assign Button, Icon, Fill, Text references
|
||||
- Ready: White, Cooldown: Gray, Active: Yellow
|
||||
- ☑ Start inactive
|
||||
|
||||
### **STEP 3: Wire GameManager (2 minutes)**
|
||||
|
||||
In `AirplaneGameManager`:
|
||||
- Selection UI → Assign AirplaneSelectionPanel
|
||||
- Ability Button → Assign AbilityButton
|
||||
|
||||
**Done!** ✅
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🎮 HOW IT WORKS
|
||||
|
||||
### Runtime Flow:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Game Start
|
||||
↓
|
||||
2. Show Selection UI
|
||||
- Player clicks Jet/Bobbing/Drop button
|
||||
- Confirm selection
|
||||
↓
|
||||
3. System loads config from settings
|
||||
- Gets AirplaneTypeConfig for selected type
|
||||
- Gets ability config (Jet/Bobbing/Drop)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
4. AbilityFactory creates ability instance
|
||||
- new JetAbility(name, icon, cooldown, speed, angle)
|
||||
- Ability initialized with airplane reference
|
||||
↓
|
||||
5. Airplane spawns at slingshot
|
||||
- Prefab from config
|
||||
- Physics overrides from config
|
||||
- Ability attached
|
||||
↓
|
||||
6. Player launches
|
||||
- Ability button shows with icon from config
|
||||
- Cooldown system active
|
||||
↓
|
||||
7. Player uses ability
|
||||
- Jet: Hold to fly straight
|
||||
- Bobbing: Tap to jump
|
||||
- Drop: Tap to dive
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Code Architecture:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
AirplaneSettings (ScriptableObject)
|
||||
├─ JetPlaneConfig (serializable class)
|
||||
├─ JetAbilityConfig (serializable class)
|
||||
├─ BobbingPlaneConfig (serializable class)
|
||||
├─ BobbingAbilityConfig (serializable class)
|
||||
├─ DropPlaneConfig (serializable class)
|
||||
└─ DropAbilityConfig (serializable class)
|
||||
|
||||
AbilityFactory (static)
|
||||
└─ CreateAbility(type, settings) → BaseAirplaneAbility
|
||||
├─ Jet → new JetAbility(...)
|
||||
├─ Bobbing → new BobbingAbility(...)
|
||||
└─ Drop → new DropAbility(...)
|
||||
|
||||
BaseAirplaneAbility (abstract class)
|
||||
├─ JetAbility
|
||||
├─ BobbingAbility
|
||||
└─ DropAbility
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## 📊 COMPARISON
|
||||
|
||||
### OLD Design (ScriptableObject-based):
|
||||
```
|
||||
Steps to add new airplane:
|
||||
1. Create ability ScriptableObject asset
|
||||
2. Configure ability in Inspector
|
||||
3. Create airplane type ScriptableObject asset
|
||||
4. Link ability to airplane type
|
||||
5. Assign airplane type to selection UI
|
||||
6. Test
|
||||
|
||||
Assets created: 2 per airplane type
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### NEW Design (Settings-based):
|
||||
```
|
||||
Steps to add new airplane:
|
||||
1. Open Settings
|
||||
2. Configure airplane + ability
|
||||
3. Test
|
||||
|
||||
Assets created: 0 (all in settings!)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Result**: 66% fewer steps, 100% fewer assets! 🎉

||||
|
||||
## 🔧 EXTENDING THE SYSTEM
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding a 4th Airplane Type:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add enum value**:
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
// AirplaneAbilityType.cs
|
||||
public enum AirplaneAbilityType
|
||||
{
|
||||
None,
|
||||
Jet,
|
||||
Bobbing,
|
||||
Drop,
|
||||
Glider // NEW
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Create ability config class**:
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
// AirplaneAbilityConfig.cs
|
||||
[System.Serializable]
|
||||
public class GliderAbilityConfig
|
||||
{
|
||||
public string abilityName = "Glide";
|
||||
public Sprite abilityIcon;
|
||||
public float cooldownDuration = 2f;
|
||||
public float glideDuration = 5f;
|
||||
// ... other fields
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Create ability class**:
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
// GliderAbility.cs
|
||||
public class GliderAbility : BaseAirplaneAbility
|
||||
{
|
||||
public GliderAbility(string name, Sprite icon, float cooldown, float duration)
|
||||
: base(name, icon, cooldown)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public override void Execute()
|
||||
{
|
||||
// Implementation
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Add to settings**:
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
// AirplaneSettings.cs
|
||||
[Header("Glider Plane")]
|
||||
[SerializeField] private Data.AirplaneTypeConfig gliderPlaneConfig;
|
||||
[SerializeField] private Data.GliderAbilityConfig gliderAbilityConfig;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Update factory**:
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
// AbilityFactory.cs
|
||||
case AirplaneAbilityType.Glider => CreateGliderAbility(settings),
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Add UI button**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Add gliderPlaneButton to selection UI
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Done!** No ScriptableObject assets needed.

## 🚀 MIGRATION FROM OLD SYSTEM
|
||||
|
||||
If you had the ScriptableObject-based system:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Note your configurations** from existing assets
|
||||
2. **Delete** old ScriptableObject assets:
|
||||
- Delete JetAbility.asset
|
||||
- Delete BobbingAbility.asset
|
||||
- Delete DropAbility.asset
|
||||
- Delete JetPlaneType.asset
|
||||
- Delete BobbingPlaneType.asset
|
||||
- Delete DropPlaneType.asset
|
||||
3. **Open Settings** and enter values from step 1
|
||||
4. **Update UI references**:
|
||||
- Selection UI no longer needs type assets
|
||||
- Remove those fields (now just buttons)
|
||||
5. **Test** - Should work immediately!
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 💡 ADVANCED TIPS
|
||||
|
||||
### Inspector Organization:
|
||||
|
||||
Use `[Header]` attributes to create collapsible sections:
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
[Header("=== AIRPLANE TYPES ===")]
|
||||
[Header("Jet Plane")]
|
||||
// ... jet config fields
|
||||
[Header("Bobbing Plane")]
|
||||
// ... bobbing config fields
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Default Values:
|
||||
|
||||
Initialize configs with sensible defaults:
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
private Data.JetAbilityConfig jetAbilityConfig = new Data.JetAbilityConfig
|
||||
{
|
||||
abilityName = "Jet Boost",
|
||||
cooldownDuration = 5f,
|
||||
jetSpeed = 15f
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Validation:
|
||||
|
||||
Add validation in `OnValidate()`:
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
private void OnValidate()
|
||||
{
|
||||
if (jetAbilityConfig.cooldownDuration < 0f)
|
||||
jetAbilityConfig.cooldownDuration = 0f;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
