Fancy Fuel Tanks [FFT]

Fancy Fuel Tanks v0.1.3.1 Patch Notes

Updates and Additions

• New Features

  • Implemented the Module_TriggerVFX class, allowing for control and configuration of visual effects tied to fuel levels in game parts.
  • Added a visual effects component CoolingVFX that is triggered based on fuel levels in the tanks.
  • The CoolingVFX component is linked with animations and particle system effects to create a dynamic visual feedback system for users.
  • Introduced two new components, TriggerVFX and DynamicGravity, enabling better control over visual effects.
  • The DynamicGravity system allows for a more realistic response of particle systems to the in-game environment.
  • Introduced the Data_TriggerVFX class, providing a data structure for maintaining visual effect states and properties.
  • Implemented a new Data_FuelTanks class, maintaining a dictionary of fuel tank GameObjects for ease of reference and interaction.

• Enhancements and Optimizations

  • Streamlined initialization of components, ensuring that visual effects are initialized only when their parent GameObjects are in flight mode.
  • Improved error handling, ensuring potential issues with missing particle systems or GameObjects are logged for debugging.
  • Enhanced modularity of the codebase, breaking out responsibilities of different components into more granular classes and functions.

• Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the _triggerVFX and _gravityForVFX were not correctly initialized, causing null reference exceptions.
  • Corrected the initialization of Data_TriggerVFX
  • Resolved a delay issue with the animation and looping of particles in the CoolingVFX by adjusting emission settings in the Particle System.

Next Steps

• Continue to enhance the interaction of the CoolingVFX with different in-game parameters, such as temperature or velocity.
• Further optimization of system performance and resource usage.
• Investigate and fix any new bugs or issues that may arise during gameplay.
