Bugs

- If a players life goes down less than 5 it will not spawn the next wave button.
- The level aren't connected through a user interface widget.
- Next level button stays on the throughout the game.

I've researched to find a way to fix these but I couldn't find anything with the spawn next wave button because I followed a tutorial on how to do that and I't's difficult to edit the blueprints I already have and I couldn't see an issue in the blueprints I have.

I connected the levels together but not through a widget button but the button stays on the screen throughout the game and I wanted it to appear when all the waves are over. I couldn't find anything to help me with this because I already have a wave spawning blueprint and by editing it I might have broke it and I didn't want to do that this close to the deadline.

I did find a way to be able too set up a trigger box that if you walk into it, it would take you to the next level but with a tower defence game there was no player in game to possess and walk to the trigger box.


Here's the tutorial for the box trigger to activate the next level:

I did some research into tower defence games and looked at plants vs zombies, I also played it so I could understand the mechanics they used and the plants and what damage, range differences they had.

I took some screenshots when I was playing it to show the things I found interesting or that benefit the game. I like the fact that the turrets with the projectiles are plants and the way you pay for the plants, I like that they used suns because plants grow in the sun and it’s realistic.

I also like that the sunflowers produce suns to add towards the money you use to buy plants and they have a cool down time.

I screenshoted this one because I like the way they added crinkled paper and added a note from the zombies, just thought this was quite cleaver and funny.
