Example Usage

Attack players

The weapon component can be used to challenge players to move through an area without being shot. Combining a weapon component with a moving object via a Simple Animator Component or a Mover Component can make the weapon less predictable.

Combined with Logic Component

The Logic Component can be configured to perform Actions whenever it is shot by a weapon component. This would be used to make a minigame where players must somehow make a weapon component shoot a logic component, maybe by moving the gameobject holding the weapon, or by removing object from between the weapon and logic component.
