Modular Health System

Objective: Create a health system for both the player and the enemies.

The current health of the enemy is reduced when shot.

Create a new C# script named Health. This script has int variables for _maxHealth, _minHealth and _currentHealth.

Attach this script to both the Player and Enemy. Both _maxHealth and _minHealth are assigned in the inspector as shown below.

Health script on both Player and Enemy.

In addition, it has a public method Damage(), when called receives an int pain which reduces the _currentHealth. If the _currentHealth drops below the _minHealth the object is destroyed.

Damage method on Health script.

The Shoot script is modified to call the Damage method in the Health script if the ViewportPointToRay hits an object with a Health script. The example below passes the integer 10 to the Damage() method. Two float variables were also added to the Shoot script, _timer and _coolDown, to create a delay or cool down between shots.

This modular Health script can be added to either enemies or the player, and compartmentalizes the code managing health and damage.
