Enemy Type

SWITCH STATEMENT | GAME BASED EXAMPLE

GOAL: Create a simple switch statement to compare the enemy type and run the correct code to activate that enemies behavior

private string _enemyType;

void Update()
{
    switch(_enemyType)
    {
        case "flying":
            //code to make enemy fly
            break;
        case "walking":
            //code to make enemy walk
            break;
        case "crawling":
            //code to make enemy crawl
            break;
        default:
            //code to make enemy idle
            break;
    }
}

CODE BREAK-DOWN

• LINE 5 --> Switch statement is declared that will evaluate the value of the variable _enemyType and compare it to each case

• LINE 7, 10, & 13 --> Once the statement finds a case value that matches the value of _enemyType, the program runs the associated code

• LINE 16 --> If none of the case values matches the value of _enemyType, then the program runs the associated code found in the Default Case
