Using direction/angle to change animation?
This is for a 2D infinte runner - I asked a previous question, but thought about it some more and have come up with a fairly vague answer that I'm not too sure about. I have a player (see diagram) that when he jumps he might miss the obstacle and play his animation regardless (which is what I don't want).
So what I was thinking - what if I had a raycast pointing toward his nearest obstacle, retrieving that angle (or mathematical function), and if it's within a threshold of whatever angle I set it will play a specific animation. This way it might not play the animation if he will miss the obstacle. Is something like this possible? Or is there something easier?
Some additional info - player's x and z values are frozen (he only jumps). Obstacles constantly fly at him.
Check collision for your obstacle, if it is collided then play your specific animation, also you can put your obstacle inside an invisible box collider , then you can define boundary for your collision and check the collision in that boundary.
@$$anonymous$$J$$anonymous$$C this is what I have above. Boundary? Having a boundary is essentially redundant if I already have a collider isn't it?
You do not want to miss the obstacle, am I right? Suppose that player jumps over the obstacle and pass it without any collision. How do you want to notice that?
I think your boundary should be a little bigger than your obstacle, which your player cant jump over it. Not too much big.
It seems you already have a Trigger collider. Does it work at all?
I am using boundaries for playing animations like yours and it works perfectly, I check OnTriggerEnter() function to notice the overlap with boundaries.
@$$anonymous$$J$$anonymous$$C There might be some solution...Yes - I have a trigger on it, and it does its job. It works perfectly, but then it plays again, or it's delayed. I think what the problem is is that OnTriggerEnter2D might not be the best solution (nor OnTriggerExit), because I want him to play the animation while hitting the object, and not playing the animation while missing the object. I would have to post a gif or video to better describe this situation, and I might just post it on the forums side.
