Tap In Flight

Tap In Flight gives a launched shot a special move. Put it on the prefab your slingshot fires (a bird, a golem). After a launch, the first tap anywhere on the screen runs its actions once, on the shot: a mid-air dash, a ground pound, a split.

Settings

Setting	What it does
min speed (px/s)	The shot must be moving at least this fast for a tap to count, so a shot that has come to rest can't dash. 0 means any speed.
on tap	The actions to run once when the player taps. "Self" is the shot.

Two classic moves

Add a Push action to on tap, aimed at the shot itself:

• Dash: keep speed × 1.8, then add X 0, Y 0. The shot speeds up along its path.
• Ground pound: keep speed × 0, then add X 0, Y 650. The shot stops and slams straight down.

Add a sound, particles or a shake to the same list for some extra punch.

How to set it up

1. Make your shot a prefab with a dynamic Physics body and a Collider.
2. Add Tap In Flight to the prefab's top object and fill in on tap.
3. Pick the prefab as launch prefab (or in the launch roster) on your slingshot's Control.

Good to know

• Only the latest launched shot listens. Each shot can use its move once.
• The tap still reaches any button under the finger, so keep buttons away from where players tap mid-flight.
• Push needs a Physics body on the shot. Without one, it does nothing.
• Different shots can have different moves: give each prefab in the launch roster its own Tap In Flight.
• Games only. Works in Preview and on both Wear OS and Apple Watch.
