Initial Script Writing
I have spent the past week working on a first draft script of the experience based on the narrative that i had previously thought of. I wanted the dialogue from the ear piece to fully guide and tell the player what to do as they progress through the experience including where to go, what to do next and how to interact with the other player in the alternate dimension depending on the task that they need to complete
Changing the Gravity for Player 2 in Unity
One aspect of my experience will involve an area where the players are mirrored below one another so this means that while one player will be walking normally, the other player will technically need to be upside down. This means that this particular XR rig for player two needs to have its gravity changed which with the help of my teacher i was able to do with this line of code so that the player can essentially stick to the under side of the floor while technically being upside down.
Mirroring Objects in Unity
Another element that i want to do for some of the puzzles also involves some objects interacting and moving together in both ‘dimensions’ and so again with the help of my teacher we developed some code which meant that if one object was picked up, it would reflect the X-Axis of that objects to move in the other environment as well and so the different axis can be selected depending on where the reflection is in the experience.
One problem that we found however was how that one object needed to be the main one and grabbing the sub object wouldnt work unless one script was turned off and then the other was turned on. On the other hand this could be used in the narrative so that perhaps the second object is faded in the other environment to show that it has slipped between dimensions and the alternate person cant interact with that object? could be interesting for the users.
Storyboarding The Puzzles
I decided that it would be helpful to do some sketches or drawings of the puzzles and interactions that the players will be completing in the experience so i decided to do some storyboard like sketches to show this process as you can see from the images below.
