Make the opacity of the laser charge a consistent 50%

User prompt

Make the transition between axis stretches faster

User prompt

Compress the laser charge more along the Y axis during the stretch. It should get very thin.

User prompt

Flatten the asset more on the Y axis stretch and when the x axis stretch happens, flatten the Y axis quickly at the same time.

User prompt

Let’s try this for the laser charge. Remove the spin all together. Instead on spawn, flatten and stretch the laser charge asset along the Y axis for one second before flattening and stretching the asset along the X axis.

User prompt

Slow the spin of the laser charge by half

User prompt

Laser charge should start at 50% opacity and spin should start much slower.

User prompt

Create a laser attack sequence for the Blaster enemy: Have Blaster stop moving while charging. Phase 1: Charge-up Phase (2 seconds): - Spawn asset LaserCharge at the center of Blaster at 75% opacity. On spawn it should start growing and getting brighter. Also on spawn the laser charge should start spinning and increase speed as it grows. After charge up is over, destroy laser charge.

Have central particle start at a scale of 1

User prompt

Make sure that central particle grows bigger and brighter with every particle that reaches center.

1. The `self.chargeParticles` array is never initialized. Let's move it to the start of the class: ```javascript var Blaster = Container.expand(function () { var self = Container.call(this); var blasterGraphics = self.attachAsset('Blaster', { anchorX: 0.5, anchorY: 0.5 }); self.HitPoints = 5; self.speed = 3; self.shootInterval = 60; self.chargeParticles = []; // Initialize here self.isCharging = false; // Add this too self.update = function () { // Rest of the code... ``` 2. Then modify the charging section: ```javascript if (self.isCharging) { var chargeDuration = LK.ticks - self.chargeStartTime; if (chargeDuration < 120) { // 2 seconds charge-up if (!self.centralParticle) { self.centralParticle = LK.getAsset('LaserChargeParticle', { anchorX: 0.5, anchorY: 0.5, x: self.x, y: self.y, scaleX: 2, scaleY: 2, alpha: 1, visible: true }); game.addChild(self.centralParticle); game.setChildIndex(self.centralParticle, game.children.length - 1); } // Update central particle position if (self.centralParticle) { self.centralParticle.x = self.x; // Add this to keep central particle with enemy self.centralParticle.y = self.y; self.centralParticle.scaleX += 0.02; self.centralParticle.scaleY += 0.02; self.centralParticle.alpha = Math.min(1, self.centralParticle.alpha + 0.02); } if (chargeDuration % 30 === 0) { // Rest of particle spawn code... } ``` 3. And in the cleanup section: ```javascript } else { // Destroy all laser particles if (self.chargeParticles.length > 0) { // Add check self.chargeParticles.forEach(function (particle) { particle.destroy(); }); self.chargeParticles = []; // Reset array } if (self.centralParticle) { self.centralParticle.destroy(); self.centralParticle = null; // Make sure to null it } self.isCharging = false; }

User prompt

Set central charge particle starting scale to 2

User prompt

Change the conditions of the central charge particle and make sure it is not dependent on other charge particles and is created first

User prompt

Add this change: Try modifying the code like this: ``` if (chargeDuration % 30 === 0) { // Spawn a new particle every 0.5 seconds var angle = chargeDuration / 120 * Math.PI * 2; var particle = LK.getAsset('LaserChargeParticle', { anchorX: 0.5, anchorY: 0.5, x: self.x + Math.cos(angle) * 50, y: self.y + Math.sin(angle) * 50, scaleX: 1, scaleY: 1 }); game.addChild(particle); self.chargeParticles.push(particle); } // Update central particle independently if (self.centralParticle) { self.centralParticle.scaleX += 0.02; self.centralParticle.scaleY += 0.02; self.centralParticle.alpha = Math.min(1, self.centralParticle.alpha + 0.02); } self.chargeParticles.forEach(function (particle, index) { // Move particles towards the center particle.x += (self.x - particle.x) * 0.1; particle.y += (self.y - particle.y) * 0.1; if (Math.abs(particle.x - self.x) < 5 && Math.abs(particle.y - self.y) < 5 && particle !== self.centralParticle) { particle.destroy(); self.chargeParticles.splice(index, 1); } });

User prompt

Make sure central particle visible is true.

User prompt

I think that the code that destroys particles when they reach the center of the charge point is destroying the central particle as soon as it is created. Make sure it does not.

User prompt

Stop spawning drones and bruisers for now

User prompt

Change the charge particle code to recognize a central particle and only increase that particles size and brightness. Central particle does not get destroyed until charge timer is complete.

User prompt

Central particle alpha should be 1

User prompt

Need to make sure central particle is above Blaster layer. It’s not visible currently.

User prompt

I don’t see a central particle appearing on blaster charge up

User prompt

When the first laser charge particle reaches center of Blaster, create a particle at gathering point. This particle should grow in size and brightness with each other particle that reaches it

User prompt

The charge up for blaster is not working right. Let me describe it again sequentially. Blaster stops moving. Particles are spawned one at a time and swirl towards center of Blaster. When the first particle reaches center leave that particle there and increase brightness. Each additional particle that reaches center should be destroyed and the first particle should increase in size and brightness. Continue to do this for 2 seconds and then destroy all particles.

User prompt

After the charge duration is done, destroy all laser particles.
