Global Signals

At the time we dont advance rounds. We need to fix that.

Autoloads will be used this time.

When to use autoloads? When data/systems need to persist across multiple scenes AND need to be accessed from anywhere in the game. Everything else is a custom class.

Examples for autoload

Player inventory
UI Manager
Settings
Achievement/Trophy systems

Examples for classes

Single NPC with dialogue
Animation for a character
Particle effect for an explosion
Enemy AI pathfinding
World manager (restart level etc)
Projectile/Bullets

After you have added a autoload in the project settings, when the game runs, the node gets automatically added to the scene tree with its script attached.

And then just call it from anywhere:

Now we check if the round is completed and enemies are left OR if all enemies are dead before the timer is stopped.

Hurtbox and Hitbox

We want to streamline things that get damage or make damage. But we also need to damage the player, which we current dont have.

Hurtbox-component: Receives damaging collisions

Hitbox-component: Contains the data about the damaging collision

Warnings

You can ignore them. But there could be potential errors.

These warnings can be configured in the project settings

supress delta warnings with an underscore
rename variables when shadowing (reusing names of existing properties)
adapt randi to randf when having precision loss
etc
