Need a tips about bullet script

evitca-ariz

Sorry if I'm asking something obvious. Should I do:

one bullet but has everything in one script or multiple bullet and each separate script

And there probably gonna have bullet mix and match as well, Where one bullet do two thing.

That's hard to answer without more details. You could start with one script, and if it gets too complicated, split it into separate scripts. It's easier to split one script into two than to merge two scripts into one.

Are you even sure you need a bullet. A lot of programmers use a raycast with an explosion at the gun and then put a hole decal on the wall. I'm doing a unrealistic game so I'm using a bullet with a script that does a queue free after so long or it hits something. I figure there aren't that many that exist at a time so it's probably not going to hurt anything.

Well, I'm making unrealistic bullet, and each bullet have unique function

Edit: Forget to mention that the bullet are made using kinematicbody.

I suppose you could have one script, if you wanted, and set the effects to different stages, ie stage 1 could be a basic shot, 2 is a sniper shot, or whatever. And the stages could be set up to a signal with an argument that depicts the effect.

The other method would work as well, of course.

Personally, with different types, I'd attach a script to the bullet and have one script for each type. That's probably just me. Kids can code has a recipe for a bullet using an area, in case you are interested: https://kidscancode.org/godot_recipes/3d/3d_shooting/
