Constructor Details

ProjectileLauncherComponent

public ProjectileLauncherComponent(GameArea area,
 Entity target,
 Projectiles projType)

Constructor for the class.

Parameters:

area - The area, such as ForestGameArea, in which the entity is residing in.

target - The target entity, that this component's entity wants to hit.

projType - The projectile to be launched from this launcher component.

Method Details

fireProjectile

public void fireProjectile(com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2 directionToFire,
 com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2 offset,
 com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2 scale)

Fires a projectile, classified as an enemy projectile, in the direction specified.

Parameters:

directionToFire - The direction to fire in

offset - Offset (from the center) where the projectile is fired

scale - The size of the projectile. "x" value represents width, and "y" value represents height.\

fireProjectileMultishot

public void fireProjectileMultishot(int amount,
 float angleDifferences,
 com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2 directionToFire,
 com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2 offset,
 com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2 scale)

Fires multiple laser projectiles, classified as enemy projectiles, at once

Parameters:

amount - The amount of projectiles to fire in one go

angleDifferences - The angle differences, in degrees, between lasers. For example, passing in 10 means 10 degree difference in the rotation of each laser projectile.

directionToFire - The direction to fire at.

offset - Offset (from the center) where the projectile is fired

scale - The size of the projectile. "x" value represents width, and "y" value represents height.

fireProjectileBurstFire

public void fireProjectileBurstFire(int burstAmount,
 float timeBetweenShots,
 com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2 directionToFire,
 com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2 offset,
 com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2 scale)

A quick burst of repeated laser projectile firings. Note that all lasers will head in the same direction, even if the player has moved during the burst duration.

Parameters:

burstAmount - The amount of projectiles to fire in a burst.

timeBetweenShots - The time, in seconds, between each laser fired within one burst sequence.

directionToFire - The direction to fire at.

offset - Offset (from the center) where the projectile is fired

scale - The size of the projectile. "x" value represents width, and "y" value represents height.
