Let’s show you how to make the shields task in unity from Among Us. This series is focusing on the mini-game/ mini-task portion of Among Us. We are building the level and character movement in Among Us with the series located here: https://www.infogamerhub.com/among-us-lesson-1/
The task that we are focusing on in this post is the Shields task/mini-game. The image above is for reference.
If you are wondering why the end result doesn’t look as pretty as the reference image it is because I didn’t spend the time to make it look exactly like it (reasoning for this is due to laziness and the rest is due to be a quicker prototype)(You might notice the missing turtle feet, whoops :)). I wanted to make sure to cover the overall functionality of the task was correct. We do recommend You change the task up to look and behave a little differently if you are to implement this in your own game.
