Need help in developing a 2D Sidescroller

I'm working on a sidescrolling game intended to be similar to Classic Mega Man, and i'd like some support with it for a few aspects. The main one is making my character shoot. I have created shooting sprites for my character. I'm using the Unity-Chan sprites, and I followed the 2D character controller for all her coding so far in getting her to move. I also did an edit in Photoshop to give her frames for outstretching her hand and firing a projectile. I'm wondering how to make it so I can actually have her shoot, if there's also a way to do it through the Animator as well. I know that I can start with a Bool to use in the Animator to add a False statement to make shooting work, but I don't know the code I can use to make it work, or how to handle collision with objects and projectile speed/fire rate.

 

I'm not a moderator or anything but I'm pretty sure that this thread belongs somewhere else... Maybe the scripting forum

 

So, are you looking for a collaborator to do the coding for you? Or do you want to learn to do it? Maybe some recommendations on tutorials you could work through to learn this sort of thing?

 

Recommendations on the tutorials would certainly help.

 

"Learn" section on top will help.
