How to Change a Variable Through Interface Inheritance in Unity?

When developing games in Unity, you may encounter situations where you need to manage shared behaviors across multiple game objects. One common necessity is to track properties of various objects, such as whether a projectile belongs to a player or not. This post discusses how to implement this functionality in Unity through interface inheritance.

The Problem

In your game, you want every projectile to have a property that indicates if it's fired by the player or not. Initially, you attempted to do this by checking the prefab settings, but when the projectile is instantiated, the property does not reflect the intended value. This leaves you wondering how to properly set and access this boolean value across your components.

The Solution

To solve this issue effectively, we will employ an interface and ensure that when a projectile is instantiated, it accurately reflects whether it is player-owned. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the steps involved:

1. Define the Interface

First, we create an interface that outlines the properties we want for our projectile. This will enforce that any projectile class implements the necessary boolean property.

2. Implement the Bullet Class

Next, we create the Bullet class that implements our IProjectile interface. This class will include the property isPlayers and its backing field.

With this implementation, any instance of Bullet can easily denote whether it belongs to the player.

3. Modify the Attack Method in the Cannon Class

In your Cannon class, you should instantiate the projectile prefab correctly. Ensure that you're not checking the prefab but rather the instantiated instance of the bullet. Modify your Attack method accordingly:

4. Key Changes and Considerations

Instantiation: Always instantiate the projectile before trying to access or modify its properties. This is critical, as accessing properties on a prefab does not reflect changes made after instantiation.

Tag Checking: Use CompareTag for better performance instead of comparing string tags directly.

Conclusion

By following these guidelines, you can efficiently use interface inheritance in Unity to manage shared properties across various game objects. The implementation allows you to quickly check if a projectile is player-owned, alongside ensuring that your code remains organized and easy to maintain.
