Gun turrets and ammo


We've now created an ammo object (a projectile) and we've started to engineer a gun turret object, but it doesn't yet spawn ammo. Let's create this functionality now. We have a spawn point positioned in front of the turret parented to it as a child object. We'll attach a new script file called AmmoSpawner.cs to this object. This script is responsible for generating ammo at regular intervals. Refer to the following code:

//--------------------------------
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
//--------------------------------
public class AmmoSpawner : MonoBehaviour 
{
    //--------------------------------
    //Reference to ammo prefab
    public GameObject AmmoPrefab = null;

    //Reference to transform
    private Transform ThisTransform = null;

    //Vector for time range
    public Vector2 TimeDelayRange = Vector2.zero;

    //Lifetime for ammo spawned
    public float AmmoLifeTime = 2f;

    //Ammo Speed
    public float AmmoSpeed = 4f;

    //Ammo Damage...
