This is a modification of the demo from pingod-addons. This is to demonstrate how to make basic game with more switches, modes from the initial addons repoistory as starter.
This requires the addons directory from pingod--addons to build and run.
-
Load project with godot editor
godot -e. Inside the Godot FileSytem browse tobasicgame -
MainScene.tscnwill be loaded on game launch -
Adding coins with key
5and start with1. You need to fill the ball trough, close game withESC -
Use the Godot FileSystem and in the
autoloaddirectory openWindowActions.tscn. Turn on the switch window to show a switch UI when you launch the game again. Fill the trough and start a game. You can enable all the trough switches with one button, release a switch and drain balls to finish a game.
Autoload scene folder files can override the enabled addon plugins scene it uses.
| Scene | Changes |
|---|---|
| Machine.tscn | Added more switches |
| Resources.tscn | Added ball save scene to pre load |
| WindowActions.tscn | To enable/disable switch window without touching addons scenes |
| PinGodGame.tscn | Uses a custom PinGodGame.cs script named CustomPinGodGame.cs to demonstrate overriding methods, creating custom players. |
This is a copy of the MainScene from the addons. It reuses the script MainScene.cs with no changes as this just handles mostly adding the Game, Attract, Service scenes
In the godot scene inspector we added the path to our custom basicgame/Game.tscn in the scenes Game Scene Path.
This will load our game scene instead of the default.
This is a copy of the Game.tscn from the addons.
This scene uses a custom class scripts/BasicGame.cs instead of the default Game.cs.
In the Modes CanvasLayer we have added the scenes/BasicMode.tscn scene.
This mode handles displaying a BallSave scene when ball saved, handles the other switches to add points and the saucer to trigger a multiball.
A Saucer from the controls is added to this scene tree which starts the multiball.
As in the pingod-addons demo it is loaded the same way.
