Trial of the Gods

TODO — rewrite in your own voice.

A Unity VR project centred on physics-based weapon interaction, built with the XR Interaction Toolkit.

design

Weapons are objects before they are verbs. A weapon that sits convincingly on a rack and has weight when you lift it does more for combat feel than any amount of damage tuning, which is why the physics work came before the combat work.

implementation

weapons

Weapons hold position before they are grabbed using RigidbodyConstraints.FreezeAll rather than isKinematic, which avoids fighting XRI’s own capture-and-restore logic — a fix that came out of a long debugging pass on drop events not firing.

enemies

Multiple enemy types share a single EnemyStateMachine while keeping independent configurations. Skeleton-specific code paths are guarded so empty Inspector fields skip them entirely, which lets new enemy types extend the system without touching what already works.

Animation events reach the weapon hitbox through a relay component on the Animator object, since the skeleton’s sword has no Animator of its own. Death dismemberment swaps in a nested broken-skeleton prefab via Die() overloads.
