UI — Improved Ammo Display

Cap the maximum ammo

Objective: Add the maximum ammo to the UI and cap the ammo collected

In this article, we will make a slight improvement where we will let the player know the maximum ammo the ship can carry.

UI Improvement

In the AmmoUI, create new textboxes (or duplicated the AmmoText which I had renamed to CurrentAmmo) and position them. For this first phase, I simply hardcoded a 50 as the text for the Max Amount UI Textbox. Maybe at a later stage, we will introduce changes in the maximum amount and update the UI.

Implement the code

In the PlayerShoot script, add a variable to store the maximum ammo amount.

The following change to the UpdateAmmo method to cap the ammo to the maximum amount.
