🧭 Summary


A complete first-person base-defense framework with placeable turrets, wave-based enemies, ammo/repair interactions, upgrades, and clean UI—built to jumpstart Horde/Defense/FPS survival projects.


📝 Description


First Person Base Defense & Turret System is a production-ready Unity template for building fast, readable, and extensible defend-the-base games. Deploy turrets, feed ammo, repair damage, and upgrade power as waves escalate. The package includes smart enemy AI, world-space UI bars, an in-game wallet, and clear game flow from start screen to fail state.


Beyond defense, the system acts as a general-purpose FPS building framework—placeable objects, interaction systems, upgrade loops, and economy tracking make it suitable for survival games, base builders, and modular sandbox FPS experiences.

🛡️ Gameplay & Turrets


  • Three turret archetypes: Auto, Shotgun, Rocket (distinct fire behavior, spread, and action speeds)
  • Ammo system with reload logic and on-turret progress UI
  • Player interactions: hold to feed ammo (LMB) and repair (RMB)
  • Upgrade system (XP + currency) that scales health, ammo capacity, and fire rate
  • World-space bars for Health / XP / Ammo with camera-facing billboarding
  • Explosives (triggers + area damage) and environment hit effects

🤖 Enemies & AI


  • NavMesh-driven enemy movement with smooth facing
  • Configurable attack timing: windup → hit → recovery

  • Health, ragdoll/spawn-on-death, reward payout, and death callbacks for wave tracking

🎮 Player, Camera & Input
