Creating New Boosters
The BoosterData ScriptableObject defines consumable power-ups that players can purchase, collect, and activate during gameplay.
Several boosters are already included in the template:
Double Damage
Extra Character
Explosion
Magnetic
Slow Time
Ghost Character
Developers can also easily create new boosters by making additional BoosterData assets.
Step 1 – Create a Booster Scriptable
In the Project window, right-click and select:
Create > SlingshotPuzzle > Booster DataRename the new asset to match the booster type (e.g.,
Freeze,Shield,TripleShot).
Step 2 – Assign in GameInstance
Open the MainMenu scene.
Select the GameInstance object.
In the Booster List, add your new BoosterData asset.
Save the scene.
Your booster is now available in the shop and HUD.
