Step-by-Step Instructions:

📥 1. Foundation Preparation:

• Obtain the initial game structure from the Materials section provided.
• Operate exclusively in the 3D perspective, in line with the game's design.
• Familiarize with the primary maneuvering system:
  • 🏃‍♂️ WASD: Movement
  • 🎯 Mouse: Aiming
  • 🔫 Left Mouse Button: Firing
  • ⚔️ Space: Alternate Attack Modes

🔧 2. Enhancing Interaction Mechanics:

• Proceed to 📄 Scripts/Game/Gun.cs.

• Tweak the bullet instantiation to occur at the weapon's location by adjusting the ShootGun sequence (line 187).

• Create a distinct alternative firing option using <SPACE>, ensuring it provides a new gameplay mechanic.

• Activate the EnemySpawner along with MultipleSpawners in the gameplay area.

• Currently, adversaries exhibit basic behavior. It is your task to program them to actively pursue the closest player.

• Embed a basic level of intelligence in the 🧠 FixedUpdate routine found in Scripts/Game/Enemy.cs (line 60), to allow opponents to follow players.

⚙️ 3. Control Scheme Innovation:

• Navigate to Input/PlayerInput.inputactions and formulate a new control scheme.
• Introduce alternative key bindings for the main actions:
  • 🕹️ Left Stick: Move
  • 🎮 Right Stick: Aim
  • 🔫 South Button/Right Trigger: Fire
  • 🔄 North Button: Change Attack Mode
• Without a physical controller, enable the VirtualController under the Canvas GameObject or opt for keyboard backups (like UHJK for movement).
• Make sure that the PlayerInput setup on Prefabs/Player.prefab is compatible with all control schemes and can switch automatically.

👬 4. Multiplayer Integration:

• Adapt the game settings to accommodate multiple players with the alternate control scheme.
• Deploy the Player Input Manager Component within the game's environment for managing player entries and exits.
• Monitor player join or leave actions through the 📊 Settings script in Scripts/Game/Settings.cs (line 100).
• Trigger the appearance of a second player upon any action taken using the secondary controls.
