8 Directional Projectiles (That's right)

I saw some people asking about 8 directional projectile attacks for the player and enemies. It’s not as smooth as I’m sure OUR GLORIOUS CREATOR could make but this actually made my game a lot more fun and is easy to implement.
Here’s how to attack in the direction you or the enemy is moving in for more immersive enemies (make a backup first):
Open up CharacterBase.cs and insert this code with the properties up top. Screenshot of exactly where I put mine + the full file attached in case this makes no sense.
public Vector2 FacingDirection
{
get
{
if (movementDirection != Vector2.zero)
{
return movementDirection.normalized;
}
else
{
return GetLookAtDirection() == EDirection.Left ? Vector2.left : Vector2.right;
}
}
}
Then Open up ProjectileAbility.cs and replace your ThrowProjectile() method with this. Again, Screenshot of where I put mine + the full file attached in case this makes no sense:
private void ThrowProjectile(int projectileIndex)
{
GameObject projectileInstance = m_projectilePool.GetAvailableInstance();
projectileInstance.transform.position = m_projectileSpawnPoint.position;
projectileInstance.SetActive(true);
Projectile projectile = projectileInstance.GetComponent<Projectile>();
Vector2 baseDirection = m_character.FacingDirection; // Get the character's current facing direction.
float angleOffset = (m_sheet.spread / m_sheet.projectileCount) * projectileIndex - (m_sheet.spread / 2.0f);
// Rotate the direction by the spread angle.
Vector2 direction = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, angleOffset) * baseDirection;
projectile.Throw(DamageSolver.SolveDamageOutput(m_character,
m_sheet.damageDescriptor), direction, m_sheet.projectileSpeed);
}
Let’s cook!!

And of course you can replace “csharp” by any language:
