Question by Ruki01 · Sep 30, 2016 at 09:41 AM · playerteleport

Getting a player's position to move on contact with a plane

I'm super new to unity and I'm taking an intro class. I'm trying to figure out how to get my player object to move back to starting point after coming into contact with a plane which is set directly below the play area. So far I got this

 void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider)
 {
     if (collider.gameObject.name == "Player")
     {
         
     }
 }

You need to pass the start position to the script and then

collider.gameObject.transform.position = startPosition

But if the plane is directly below the play area means that there is a y value which the player shouldm usually be able to get to so I would rather do something like this in the player controller:

 if(this.transform.position.y < yourMinYValue) {
     this.transform.position = startPosition;
 }

this is going to sound dumb but how do i pass the position through the script? i tried using a variable defining it in a method but that doesn't work

The start position? Simply define it as a Vector3 in your Class' constructor (The variables you define at the top before writing any functions)

 public class ResetPos : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour 
 { 
     Vector3 startPosition = new Vector3(0, 0, 0); // Define the (x, y, z) position here
     int your$$anonymous$$inYValue = -1; // Set the treshold in world space where the player gets reset
 
     // Use this for initialization 
     void Start () { 
         
     } 
 
     // Update is called once per frame 
     void Update () { 
         if(this.transform.position.y < your$$anonymous$$inYValue) {
             this.transform.position = startPosition;
         } 
     } 
 }
