# ✅ Common Trajectory Preview Implementation Complete
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Created a **single common `TrajectoryPreview` component** that both FortFight and Airplane minigames now use. The base `DragLaunchController` class holds the trajectory preview reference and handles all visual feedback automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## What Was Accomplished
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Created Common TrajectoryPreview Component ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `Assets/Scripts/Common/Visual/TrajectoryPreview.cs`
|
||||
|
||||
**Features:**
|
||||
- Single, reusable component for all slingshot mechanics
|
||||
- Multiple API overloads for different use cases
|
||||
- LineRenderer-based visualization
|
||||
- Trajectory locking support (show path after launch)
|
||||
- Ground detection
|
||||
- Configurable appearance (color, width, points, timeStep)
|
||||
|
||||
**API Overloads:**
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
// 1. Most explicit - pass everything
|
||||
UpdateTrajectory(Vector2 startPos, Vector2 velocity, float gravity)
|
||||
|
||||
// 2. From launch parameters
|
||||
UpdateTrajectory(Vector2 startPos, Vector2 direction, float force, float mass, float gravity)
|
||||
|
||||
// 3. From prefab Rigidbody2D (RECOMMENDED - auto-reads physics)
|
||||
UpdateTrajectory(Vector2 startPos, Vector2 direction, float force, GameObject prefab)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Updated DragLaunchController Base Class ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**Added:**
|
||||
- `protected TrajectoryPreview trajectoryPreview` field
|
||||
- Auto-finds TrajectoryPreview component if not assigned
|
||||
- Default implementations of ShowPreview(), HidePreview(), UpdateVisuals()
|
||||
- Base class handles ALL trajectory logic automatically
|
||||
|
||||
**How It Works:**
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
// Base class in UpdateDrag():
|
||||
UpdateVisuals(currentPosition, direction, force, dragDistance, mass);
|
||||
|
||||
// Default UpdateVisuals implementation:
|
||||
protected virtual void UpdateVisuals(...)
|
||||
{
|
||||
if (trajectoryPreview != null && dragDistance > 0.1f)
|
||||
{
|
||||
GameObject prefab = GetProjectilePrefab();
|
||||
trajectoryPreview.UpdateTrajectory(launchAnchor.position, direction, force, prefab);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Simplified FortFight SlingshotController ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**Removed:**
|
||||
- `private TrajectoryPreview trajectoryPreview` field (now in base)
|
||||
- `ShowPreview()` override (base handles it)
|
||||
- `HidePreview()` override (base handles it)
|
||||
- `UpdateVisuals()` override (base handles it)
|
||||
- `OnManagedStart()` method (base handles trajectory init)
|
||||
|
||||
**Code Reduction:** ~50 lines removed
|
||||
|
||||
**Still Has:**
|
||||
- Ammo system
|
||||
- AI methods
|
||||
- Trajectory locking (calls `trajectoryPreview.LockTrajectory()` after launch)
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Simplified Airplane LaunchController ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**Removed:**
|
||||
- `private LineRenderer trajectoryLine` field
|
||||
- `private GameObject anchorVisual` field
|
||||
- Entire `Visual Feedback` region (~100 lines)
|
||||
- `UpdateTrajectoryPreview()` private method (~30 lines)
|
||||
- `ShowPreview()` override
|
||||
- `HidePreview()` override
|
||||
- `UpdateVisuals()` override
|
||||
|
||||
**Code Reduction:** ~130 lines removed
|
||||
|
||||
**Now Uses:** Base class default implementations exclusively

|
||||
## Unity Scene Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### For FortFight (Existing Scenes)
|
||||
|
||||
**Current State:**
|
||||
- Has old `TrajectoryPreview` component (from `Minigames.FortFight.Core`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Migration Options:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A: Replace Component (Recommended)**
|
||||
1. Select slingshot GameObject
|
||||
2. Remove old `FortFight.Core.TrajectoryPreview` component
|
||||
3. Add new `Common.Visual.TrajectoryPreview` component
|
||||
4. Configure visual settings (color, width, points)
|
||||
5. Base class will auto-find it
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: Keep Old Component (Compatibility)**
|
||||
- Old `FortFight.Core.TrajectoryPreview` still exists in project
|
||||
- Can keep using it temporarily
|
||||
- But it won't get new improvements
|
||||
- Eventually should migrate to common version
|
||||
|
||||
### For Airplane (New Scenes)
|
||||
|
||||
**Setup:**
|
||||
1. Select launch controller GameObject
|
||||
2. Add `Common.Visual.TrajectoryPreview` component
|
||||
3. Add `LineRenderer` component (auto-required)
|
||||
4. Configure trajectory settings:
|
||||
- Trajectory Points: 20
|
||||
- Time Step: 0.1
|
||||
- Line Color: Yellow
|
||||
- Line Width: 0.1
|
||||
5. Base class will auto-find it
|
||||
|
||||
### Inspector Fields
|
||||
|
||||
**DragLaunchController now has:**
|
||||
- `Launch Anchor` - spawn point (required)
|
||||
- `Trajectory Preview` - optional, auto-finds if not assigned
|
||||
|
||||
**No inspector fields needed in subclasses for trajectory!**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## API Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### From Game Code (If Needed)
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
// Access trajectory preview from controller
|
||||
trajectoryPreview.SetTrajectoryPoints(30); // Change point count
|
||||
trajectoryPreview.SetTimeStep(0.05f); // Change time step
|
||||
trajectoryPreview.LockTrajectory(2f); // Lock for 2 seconds
|
||||
|
||||
// Manual trajectory update (rare - base class handles this)
|
||||
trajectoryPreview.UpdateTrajectory(
|
||||
startPos,
|
||||
direction,
|
||||
force,
|
||||
projectilePrefab // Reads Rigidbody2D automatically
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### For New Minigames
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
public class MyLauncher : DragLaunchController
|
||||
{
|
||||
protected override SlingshotConfig GetSlingshotConfig()
|
||||
{
|
||||
return mySettings.SlingshotSettings;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
protected override GameObject GetProjectilePrefab()
|
||||
{
|
||||
return myProjectilePrefab;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
protected override void PerformLaunch(Vector2 direction, float force)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// Spawn and launch your projectile
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// That's it! Trajectory preview works automatically.
|
||||
// Base class handles: ShowPreview, HidePreview, UpdateVisuals
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Single Implementation** - One trajectory calculation, one place to fix bugs
|
||||
✅ **Less Code** - ~180 lines removed from game-specific controllers
|
||||
✅ **Easier Maintenance** - Change trajectory logic in one place
|
||||
✅ **Reusable** - Any future slingshot minigame gets it free
|
||||
✅ **Flexible API** - Multiple overloads for different use cases
|
||||
✅ **Automatic** - Base class handles everything, subclasses do nothing
|
||||
✅ **Accurate** - Reads physics directly from prefab's Rigidbody2D
|
||||
✅ **Configurable** - Visual settings in one component
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Path for FortFight
|
||||
|
||||
### Immediate (Can Do Now)
|
||||
1. Old `FortFight.Core.TrajectoryPreview` still exists and works
|
||||
2. No breaking changes to existing scenes
|
||||
3. SlingshotController is compatible with both old and new component
|
||||
|
||||
### Future (Recommended)
|
||||
1. Replace old component with new `Common.Visual.TrajectoryPreview`
|
||||
2. Delete old `Minigames/FortFight/Core/TrajectoryPreview.cs` file
|
||||
3. Clean up any references
|
||||
|
||||
### Why Migrate?
|
||||
- Future improvements go to common version only
|
||||
- Old version reads gravity from settings (deprecated)
|
||||
- New version reads gravity from prefab's Rigidbody2D (accurate)
|
||||
- Consistency across all minigames
|
||||

## Old vs New Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Before | After |
|
||||
|--------|--------|-------|
|
||||
| **Trajectory Code Location** | 2 places (FortFight + Airplane) | 1 place (Common) |
|
||||
| **Lines of Code** | ~230 (duplicated) | ~220 (common) + 0 in games |
|
||||
| **FortFight Controller** | ~300 lines | ~250 lines |
|
||||
| **Airplane Controller** | ~220 lines | ~90 lines |
|
||||
| **Maintenance** | Fix bugs in 2 places | Fix bugs in 1 place |
|
||||
| **New Minigames** | Copy/paste trajectory code | Add component, done |
|
||||
| **Gravity Calculation** | From settings (FortFight), inline (Airplane) | From prefab Rigidbody2D |
|
||||
| **API** | Internal, game-specific | Public, reusable overloads |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements (Easy to Add Now)
|
||||
|
||||
Since trajectory is centralized, we can easily add:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Different Visualization Styles** (dots, dashed, solid)
|
||||
- **Collision Preview** (show where trajectory hits)
|
||||
- **Wind Effects** (add wind vector to calculation)
|
||||
- **Multiple Trajectories** (show min/max arc range)
|
||||
- **Performance Optimizations** (LOD, caching)
|
||||
- **Custom Materials** (glow, fade, animated)
|
||||
|
||||
All of these would benefit **every minigame** automatically!
|
||||
