Ghoulish Pipedream

Ghoulish Pipedream is a split-screen 2 player game in which 2 players must work together, one playing the role of Larry who is a paranormal investigator eeking to prove the existence of ghosts while being assisted with this objective by the other player who plays the role of the nameless ghost who is bound to earth by his innability to remember the reason of his death.

I created a script that would allow the person that is playing as Larry to be able to pick up and carry both small objects and big objects such as keys, crowbars and boxes to move them from one place to another to solve puzles layed out throuh the house.

Larry picking up box

The ghost is able to free-fly through walls and pick up small objects from place the player cannot reach such as a high shelf to drop them down thus working together to get through the puzzles in the haunted house.

Split-Screen shot

The gohst has the ability to turn on lights when near them so that the human player can navigate through the level without having to be in the dark.

light

The Pickup script worked by adding the interacted object as a child object to the player character of Larry who is a ble to lift both big and small objects, which then allowed the player to freely walk around with a picked up object and use it or move it in whatever way the player needed to.

Hold

The ghost had a slightly different pick up mechanic as the ghost posseses and floats objects around instead of holding them like the Larry player character does which allowed for the ghost to be able to bring objects through the walls like a ghost compared to Larry who is stopped by walls since he is a human.
