Ghost AI and Stun Shot Mechanic

-The Ghost AI was made with the idea of a guard for a large hallway, with that being said the ghost will patrol the center area randomly consistently roaming to newly generated points upon a nav mesh. If the player enters the center area the AI will stop roaming and pursue the player.

-The Stun shot mechanic was developed as a way to temporarily stun the ghosts movements to give the player more time to complete their objective. Instead of utilizing a RayCast the stun shot is a physical in game object that the player spawns when shot. When the ghost comes in contact with the game object their movements come to a temporary stop. A cool down function was also implemented to prevent the player from spamming the attack indefinitely.

Bullet Shot Mechanic and Destroyable Target Objects

-The bullet shot mechanic created as the primary mechanic for the player to complete their objective. By creating a weapon mechanic that shoots out physical in game prefabs with adjustable velocities within the inspector view, the player is able to complete their task of destroying targets.

- the Destroyable Target system was created using unity tag system that detected whenever a bullet object came in contact with an object, this would both destroy the target and add to the players score.
