I am only on part 8, but I wanted to know if a passive itme for projectile amount/a projectile amount stat for weapons is a part of the tutorials? I know that it is probably the hardest to implement, but it also my favorite item in VS, so if it is not a part of the tutorials I will try to add it myself.

It sounds like you’re working on a game or project in a game development environment, possibly related to a tutorial series. If you’re specifically looking for functionality to manage projectile amounts or a passive item that affects projectile count, this may not be explicitly covered in every tutorial, as it can vary by course or specific project goals.

However, implementing such a feature can definitely be a rewarding challenge! Here are some general steps you could take to add a passive item for projectile amount:

1. Define the Passive Item: Create a new class or data structure for your passive item that includes a property for the projectile amount.

2. Modify Weapon Logic: In your weapon class or script, check for any active passive items when the weapon fires. If a passive item is equipped that affects projectile count, modify the projectile instantiation logic accordingly.

3. Projectile Instantiation: When firing, instead of instantiating a single projectile, use a loop to create the number of projectiles defined by your passive item. Ensure that you also manage their spread or direction if needed.

4. User Interface: If you have a UI, update it to show the effect of the passive item on the player’s current projectile count.

5. Testing: Test the new functionality thoroughly to ensure it behaves as expected, especially with different weapons and passive items.

If you’re struggling with specific code or need help with a particular part of the implementation, feel free to share your code, and I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot or provide more detailed guidance!

@pauliuskrizinauskas yes, in Part 15 there is a weapon system revamp that uses a more complex (but much more easy-to-use) programming paradigm to code the weapons. In that new system, you can tweak the Amount of your weapon as a stat.

Do check it out!
