Starz0r:
This seems complete enough to be moved to the Engine portion of the forum.

Hi! Awesome work. Unity 5 version, I think work perfect.
Waiting for new updates, new levels and new little bosses =)

Do you will create videotutorial creating 2 levels?

RegalPrime:
Got caught up having to get something to work just right, but I think I got it to work.

I am working on getting an official 5.0 unity version now. I need to do some testing and write the patch notes. Luckily I keep a running list of stuff I have added, but its never fun.
Oohh, tutorials. Its been on my mind forever and I will starting thinking more about doing them. The goal would be a set of video tutorials because it is easier to show than to tell.
Of course, I need to research some free video recording software / etc, because Ive never done it before.

So that thing I was working on will be in the new engine version as well.
Been working on custom editor scripting which is somewhat the same but different.

Projectile Spawner Prefab
This is a picture of the old (left side) and new object spawner script (right). Right side is 2 different pictures of the same script (2nd one shows the dropdown)
Instead of choosing yes / no for every type of spawn option there is a dropdown that is attached to a list of delegates
The custom editor also shows / hides the proper fields depending on the selection.
Looks 1000x better now and a lot easier to use.

AI Prefabs
Before I did this change, the only way to change the action states of an AI unit would be to create a child class and override the passive / alerted / aggressive functions with a simple function name. C# Attributes + Reflection. Never heard of them before but I guess I do now. Long story short. The base AI class searches for all the functions with that attribute and creates a list. This list can be used in the custom editor to give the user a dropdown of all available actions. The script then takes that selection, turns it into a delegate and populates the proper AI action state.
SOOOO, what does that mean.
There is a dropdown box in the editor where you can select what your unit does. No more having to create a separate child script. Cool thing is, that if I ever write new AIactions, the list will show them without me having to do anything.
Picture shows how the editor looks for two objects.

Yeah!! Very good news!
Awesome!
Waiting for official release for Unity 5 and the videotutorials.

I recommend you use Camtasia Recorder to record the videotutorials.

Version 1.3 Release - Created in Unity 5.0.2f1 personal
Cat game scenes are reattached and most everything has been tested (still includes the avoidance boss as well).
I would also like to note that due to me doing some major overhauls of certain scripts, some objects may mess up / revert to default values (I noticed certain AI units did).
Some weird stuff happened when I updated to unity5 and it wouldn't surprise me if I missed a few things.

Messed with the layer naming
- Before I had a few extra layers for really specific purposes and I got rid of them
- Some renaming - Ground is now SolidObjects

The eventmanager now has events for certain key presses
- Should make it easy later if I decide to change buttons or how button presses are done.
- Q / R / F2 / shooting / Action buttons are in that manager
- Other scripts now attach to these events and call their functions that way
- Resetting the screen or going to title now use these events
-"Attach to object" script now attaches to the eventmanager to know when the action button is pressed
-"Shooting" script now attaches to the eventmanager to know when the action button is pressed

New HPmodule - update
- The main change is that is has an event that other scripts can subscribe so that they can know when hp=0
- Other general code cleaning and rewrites

New AI - Total rewrite
- Uses the HPmodule event to know when the object has 0 hp (dead)
- Has more of a parent child class system going on. Connecting a certain child class will give you their speciality actions.
- Useable child classes = GroundAI / GroundAI_Shooting / FlyingAI / FlyingAI_Shooting
- AI - Custom Editor
-- Allows the user to select which AI actions for each state in the editor.
-- The underlying script will then change that option into a delegate and populate that action
- Updated the prefabs to include all 4 types
- Would like to note that I did had some problems with unity remembering my custom editor variables. I found the problem
and fixed it. Hopefully that dosnt reappear.
- Going through the cat scenes, I noticed some of the cat units were using my new AI and thus were defaulted to really stupid actions. I fixed all that I saw, but be aware I might have missed one.

Projectile Spawner - Script rewrite
- Better coding than before
Projectile Spawner - Custom Editor
- Changing how / what spawns is a lot cleaner in the editor.
- Updated prefab to use this new version


Updated the machine controller (still a work in progress)
- Has the basics to allow manipulate other machine type gameobjects when trigggered (stop / start / reset)

Problems I had updating the engine to Unity 5.0 stuff
- Material offset script dosnt seem to work with the standard shader (the old objects still work though)
- Some offsets of ground units broke when updating (hope I got them all)
- Lighting has changes so some of the old stuff may seem a bit darker
- Some of the ingame objects in the cat game are not attaching themselves to their corresponding prefabs (they still work though)

New GameSettings.dat will set the sound and music to 5 as default instead of 10
- Sound changed and seems a lot louder if I put it fully to 2d sound
