warcraft-arena-unity's Issues

[Networking] Offline scenes

There can be a cool difference between scenes:

• Online Scenes (using bolt)
• Offline Scenes

Making 2 scenes (online & offline) instead of 1 means that there can be difference stories/status in the same map (example: Lordaeron).
Making 1 scene and play there with online/offline feature means that I can play with other players, make some things in the story and if i stop and play offline i can start from where i stopped

There should be a decision about this feature

[Core] Stealth Mechanics and Scoping

• Detection and Subtlety
• Invisible entity scoping
• Area of Interest scoping
• Dedicated server and remote client invisibility
• Combined server-client invisibility handling
• Unit model transparency
• Unit fade out/in on scoping out/in
• Implement combat timer and restrict usage in combat

[Client, UI] Simple minimap

Don't have any idea on how to implement movable buttons in the minimap, by the way, since i'm still waking up (9 AM here) I remember i saw a video similar to THIS that teaches how to implement a mini-map.
The right video is not the one that i liked, by the way i remember it was similar procedure..

Implement spell power resources

• Regeneration for resources
• Shapeshifting support: swap, retain on shapeshift
• Configure all spells to use resources
• Mana
• Energy

Creating a custom map

Hey, first of all thank you so much for keeping this project going and working on it so much.
I was just going through the Unity project and tired to put custom maps in there. However, the character doesn't walk on any surface besides the arena. It doesn't fall through and you can blink over the surface but walking is impossible. Is it the Mesh, that makes the difference? And how can I avoid this problem?
Thank you in advance!

[Core] Implement feral druid mechanics and spells

• Mechanics: Shapeshifting spell modifications and restrictions

• Spell : Rake
• Spell : Survival Instincts
• Spell : Rip
• Spell : Prowl

[Core] Movement Mechanics

• Motion Controller

• Relocate Movement Info to motion controller
• Charging movement
• Pounce movement
• Confused movement
• Navmesh movement
• Controlled state sync for clients

[UI/Mobile] Idea of mobile version

I don't know unity very well, but I've an idea to play on mobile.
We should check if we are compiling for desktop or Android/iOS.
We already have everything for desktop.
On mobile we should draw the GUI in a different way.

The camera can be rotated using the finger's swipe.
There should be a virtual joystick on the left to move the player (we can have the same camera script).
Some spell on the right side of the screen. We can re-use already implemented spell with an addiction:
Spell should have an Enum that is structed as:

• Mobile Only
• Desktop Only
• Both

This enum tells the server how many spell i can use (and show) on mobile and/or desktop mode.

The target:
We can choose to auto-aim the target as lots of warcraft-like games, we can draw a pointer in the center of the screen and enable spell casting when we have a target in the pointer (so we aim the target, start spell casting and if the target is moving the camera will follow the target).
OR we can use warcraft similar system, so we have to touch the target then we can cast.

For mobile i think chat should be removed ( CoD mobile uses vocal chat, but i think it's not needed ).

For player/target health/mana GUI object there are 2 ways:
draw a simple bar over our head or resize the existing GUI using some responsive techniques

I hope this is an interesting idea :)

Creating discord channel for contribution

I Suggest to create a discord channel for contributions, to create a community..
Also could be a good idea to implement a discord chat bot connected with the game :P

[Core] Implement spell charges

Spell charges for fire blast, blink, survival instincts and others.

[PROBLEM] the game doesn't start.

I'm getting this error
