Step-by-step Unity tutorial for beginners where you will learn how to make a 3D Space Shooter in Unity.
In this installment I fix a few bugs in the radar display. I add shields back to the enemy ship and fix an issue it caused with collision detection.
I add a health bar to the shield and refactored my camera manager and modified the health bar to make sure it always rotates to face whatever camera is active.
I tweaked the player projectiles to add velocity/angular velocity from the player ship to the projectile when firing it.
I added a targeting reticle.
