SpawnAE Class Reference

Detailed Description

Allows an ability to spawn a projectile where the ability owner (player) is.

Documentation updated 8/13/2024

Deprecated

This script does not spawn the projectile the standard way the PlayerAttackManager does. Because of this, it’s recommended that you use the PlayerAttackManager's ShootProjectile() function (see fire/wind/rock ability info for an example). This script may be improved or repurposed in the future, but for now I would not recommend using it.

Todo

some spawn pattern variable eventually, or maybe a function

Note

This is a scriptable object, meaning you can make an instance of it in the Unity Editor that exists in the file explorer.
