Cannot convert 'UnityEngine.GameObject' to 'UnityEngine.Vector3' Why is this?
I'm trying to make a turret that shoots a game object with the tag "targetObject", however I keep on getting the same error and thanks to MonoDevelop's very unclear debugging system, I'm not sure how to fix it. (I am new to Unity) Thanks!
pragma strict
var turretsOn : boolean = true;
private var targetPosition : Vector3;
function Start () {
aimStart();
}
function aimStart() {
//Just a loop :)
while (turretsOn === true) {
//We only want the turret to aim every second, for perfromance and gameplay.
yield WaitForSeconds(1);
targetPosition = GetClosestObject("targetObject");
Transform.LookAt(Vector3(targetPosition));
}
}
function GetClosestObject(tag:String) : GameObject {
var objectsWithTag = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag(tag);
var closestObject : GameObject;
for (var obj : GameObject in objectsWithTag) {
if(!closestObject) {
closestObject = obj;
}
//Compares distances
if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, obj.transform.position) <= Vector3.Distance(transform.position, closestObject.transform.position)) {
closestObject = obj;
}
}
return closestObject;
Just like the error is telling you, your function
function GetClosestObject(tag:String) : GameObject
returns a GameObject and you are trying to assign that gameObject into a Vector3 variable
private var targetPosition : Vector3;
If you are trying to store the position of that gameObject, reference it's position vector and store that
targetPosition = GetClosestObject("targetObject").transform.position;
Edit: I fixed this as it was an error by me using an upper case letter for 'transform'.
Thanks for such a quick answer, however I now get "The type 'UnityEngine.Vector3' does not have a visible constructor that matches the arguement list '(UnityEngine.Vector3)'" This is on line 19.
