In Part 7 of our series, we created an enemy spawning system so that we had a way to generate enemies and run the core gameplay loop of our game. The enemy spawning system that we created then had a couple of limitations. For example, it was not possible to spawn the infamous Flower Wall that you saw in the Vampire Survivors game.
Hence, we're setting out to improve our enemy spawning system so that this sort of spawn becomes possible.

Lighting in Unity can either be simple or tedious, and it can be hard to get the right look that you’re going for. So, after building a beautiful scene and messing around with lighting settings and various values in render settings for a while, you finally take a look at your hard work to see if it looks good. Sometimes, it does! Other times, it might look like this…

So, in Part 19, we overhauled the level-up screen so that it became modular, and made it responsive as well, so that it would display properly in different screen resolutions. In Part 20, we will do the same thing for our inventory slots.

12 May 2024: The article has been updated with some new content. The updated sections are labelled in boxes like these below.
While working on the next part of the Vampire Survivors series, one of our Patrons reported a bug with our weapon upgrade UI system in this forum topic. Basically, if you already have the maximum number of weapons / passives in your inventory, the level-up UI will still continue to give you new weapons / passives as upgrade options. These upgrade options, however, are unselectable, because the function that is fired when they are clicked on will fail, as the PlayerInventory will fail to add the item.
What began as (what I thought was) an easy bug fix became an entire part in the series, because the bug fix turned out to require a bigger overhaul on our scripts than I expected.
Hence, we have this part of the tutorial series.
If you’ve been using Unity’s Canvas-based UI system to create a main menu, pause screen or even a death screen for a game in Unity, you may sometimes encounter an issue where some buttons on your UI don’t seem to be responding when you hover over or click on them.

In earlier parts of our series, we only implemented 6 different stats on our player. Vampire Survivors, however, has many more stats than that, so in Part 15, we created a newer way to manage stats that made it easier for us to add more stats in the future.
In this part, we are going to add these stats, and create a new, dynamic, and extremely easy-to-use UI element that will automatically update itself whenever we add new stats, so we don't have to create a new UI setup whenever a new stat is added.
