Setting up the player’s death schematic and game over.

In this tutorial we’ll create the schematic handling the player’s death and game over, and add tagged machines for receiving damage and death to the player.

Player Death: Schematic #

First, we’ll set up the schematic animating the player’s death and displaying a game over dialogue. When the player selects restart, the level will be reloaded, starting a new game.

Open the Makinom editor, navigate to Schematics and create a new schematic. Change the following settings.

Play Mecanim Animation #

Add Node > Animation > Mecanim > Play Mecanim Animation

We’ll use this node to play the death animation of the player by setting the Die trigger parameter.

Play Sound #

Add Node > Audio > Audio > Play Sound

We’ll use this node to play the player’s death sound.

Play On #

Audio Settings #

Wait #

Add Node > Base > Wait

We’ll wait for 1 second.

Show Dialogue #

Add Node > UI > Dialogue > Show Dialogue

This node will display a dialogue using a GUI box. We’ll display the game over message as a choice dialogue.

Choice Settings #

Click on Add Choice to add a choice. We’ll display a single choice for the player to restart the game.

Load Scene #

Add Node > Game > Scene > Load Scene

This node will load a scene. We’ll use it to reload the current scene.

This node is connected to the Choice 0 slot of the Show Dialogue node.

Change Variables #

Add Node > Value > Variable > Change Variables

We’ll reset the score to 0. Click on Add Variable to add a variable change.

And that’s it for the schematic – click on Save Schematic and save it as PlayerDeath in Assets/Schematics/.

Take Damage: Tagged Machine #

Now, we’ll first add the tagged machine handling the player taking damage. Select the Player game object in the scene and add a tagged machine component to it (e.g. using the component menu: Makinom > Machines > Tagged Machine). Change the following settings.

Start Settings #

Click on Add Starting Tag to add a tag that can start this machine.

Machine Execution Settings #

Resource Overrides #

Expand the Resource Overrides to change the used audio clip.

Player Death: Tagged Machine #

Finally, we’ll add the PlayerDeath schematic using a tagged machine. Add a tagged machine component to the Player game object (e.g. using the component menu: Makinom > Machines > Tagged Machine). Change the following settings.

Start Settings #

Click on Add Starting Tag to add a tag that can start this machine.

Machine Execution Settings #

And that’s it for now – apply the changes to the prefab by clicking on Overrides > Apply All (top of the inspector).

Don’t forget to save the scene.

Testing #

Drag some of the enemy prefabs into the scene and click on Play. The enemis will now be able to damage the player – once the player’s health reaches 0, the player dies and the game over dialogue is displayed.

The next tutorial will handle spawning enemies.
