Tower, get target within range by mouseclick
Hello! I am working on a tower shooter script where I have made the tower shoot at random targets within a certain range. I am now trying to make it so that when I ctrl-click an enemy I wan't the tower within range to start firing at this target. It does already shoot at my target but they can shoot across the whole map. I need help on limiting the range of the target-shooting. Here is what I've got so far:
private var target;
private var posTarget : Vector3;
public var projectile : Rigidbody;
private var cloneProjectile;
public var projectileSpeed : float = 900;
public var skottEld : GameObject;
private var cloneSkottEld;
private var center : Vector3;
//private var getParent : GameObject;
private var nextShot = 0.0;
var reloadTime = 0.5;
function Update () {
//Controll attacks
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftControl)){
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0)){
var hitTower : RaycastHit;
if(Physics.Raycast(Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition), hitTower)){
if(hitTower.collider.tag == "Enemy"){
target = hitTower.collider.gameObject;
}
}
}
}
gameOver = HPTower.gameOver;
if(gameOver == true){
Destroy(this.transform.root.gameObject);
}
if(target == null){
target = transform.root.GetComponent(Detector).target;
}
//target = Detector.target();
//target = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("GUISHOP").GetComponent(Buy).DMGUpgrade;
if(target != null){
posTarget = Vector3(target.transform.position.x,target.transform.position.y,target.transform.position.z);
this.transform.LookAt(posTarget);
if(Time.time > nextShot){
nextShot = Time.time + reloadTime;
cloneProjectile = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
cloneProjectile.SendMessage("getTarget", target);
//cloneProjectile.rigidbody.AddForce(cloneProjectile.transform.forward * projectileSpeed);
Destroy(cloneProjectile.gameObject, 6);
//cloneSkottEld = Instantiate(skottEld, transform.position, transform.rotation);
//Destroy(cloneSkottEld, 3);
}
}
}
This is the script that get the target position and then starts firing at it. And this script detects enemies in the range and then sends a target to the firing script:
public var target : GameObject;
function OnTriggerStay(hitTarget : Collider){
if(hitTarget.gameObject.tag == "Enemy" && target == null){
target = hitTarget.gameObject;
}
}
Thanks in advance! //Simon
I'm having some difficulty deciphering your logic in the script, but something like this should do the trick. Make a float variable called range, specifying the range you want the tower to have. After you cast the ray to see if a target was clicked:
float distance = Vector3.Distance(myTowerPosition, myIntendedTargetPosition);
if (distance <= range) {
//set the target, fire projectile, etc
}
Thanks! Yeah, that should work but do you know how I can retriew sphere collider radius? I am using a sphere collider as detector so then I somehow need to get the radius of it, any ideas?
Ok, I used sphereRadius = this.gameObject.GetComponent(SphereCollider).radius;
And it works just fine. You just have to remember that collider sometimes scale different on objects.
