Simple go forward and turn back loop movement stuck to the limit without reverse
I have a game object placed at the position (0, 5, 80)
I want that this object ciclically moves foward (direction x in my orientation) and then when has reached a certain position turn back until has reached another limit position and so on .
It's a very simple task but unfortunately when the object reaches the stop to move and desn't change direction.
I have written this function called in Update section
function cyclicMove(){
if(boat.position.x==-190){
boat.rotation.y=-90;
}
else if(boat.position.x==190){
boat.rotation.y=90;
}
else if(boat.position.x>-190){
boat.position.x--;
}
else if(boat.position.x<190){
boat.position.x++;
}
}
The object should turn in 190 and -190c continuing the movement in the other direction but for some reason this doesn't happen.
Any suggestion?
Here the solution. When the boat rotate the movement coordinated are inverted. With this edit to the original code, now works.
function cyclicMove(limit:int, speed:int){
position=boat.position.x;
if(position <= -limit){
turnBack();
}
else if(position >= limit){
turnBack();
}
moveForward(speed);
}
function turnBack() {
boat.rotation.y=boat.rotation.y*-1;
}
function moveForward(speed:float) {
boat.position -= transform.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime;
}
function cyclicMove(){
if(boat.position.x <= -190){
boat.rotation.y=-90;
}
else if(boat.position.x >= 190){
boat.rotation.y=90;
}
else if(boat.position.x > -190){
boat.position.x--;
}
else if(boat.position.x < 190){
boat.position.x++;
}
}
It should do the trick. Be careful though that the last else if is not reached if you have for example boat.position.x = 0
Similar problem also with your code... the object doesn't reverse movement.
in addition the rotation coordinate y become 180 for some reason
