Devlog #3: UI and Weapon animation

1. Overview

The changes include a Health Bar and Ammo Count UI, along with muzzle flash and recoil for the player's weapon.

2. Health Bar and Ammo Count UI

• Goal: To provide feedback to players on their current health and ammo status
• Implementation:
  • Used Unity's Canvas/Image/TexMeshPro to create a dynamic health bar that decreases as the player takes damage.
  • Created a text-based ammo counter next to the health bar that updates when the player fires or reloads.
• Challenges:
  • Adjusting the health bar animation to match damage accurately took several attempts, especially to ensure the transition looked smooth and responsive.
• Next Steps:
  • Consider adding animations to highlight low health or ammo, increasing urgency for the player.
