Enemy shooting at player
Hi guys! So, I'm working on a game level for college that's due this Friday, it's a runner-type level with a helicopter chasing and shooting the player, however I can't get the shooting script to work. I'll post my script here, mostly taken from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxjRtaV4N7g . If anyone can help me with this, please do so, this is urgent :
public float playerRange;
public GameObject player;
public Transform launchPoint;
public float bulletSpeed = 10;
public Rigidbody bullet;
void Start()
{
player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
}
void Fire()
{
Rigidbody bulletClone = Instantiate(bullet, launchPoint.position, launchPoint.rotation);
bulletClone.velocity = transform.forward * bulletSpeed;
}
void Update()
{
Debug.DrawLine(new Vector3(transform.position.x - playerRange, transform.position.y, transform.position.z), new Vector3(transform.position.x + playerRange, transform.position.y, transform.position.z));
Fire();
}
Thanks, anyone who reads this! :D
EDIT: Changed some code, here it is now still not working:
void Start()
{
player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
}
void Fire()
{
Instantiate(bullet, launchPoint.position, launchPoint.rotation);
print("It should be firing at this point");
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
Debug.DrawLine(new Vector3(transform.position.x - playerRange, transform.position.y, transform.position.z), new Vector3(transform.position.x + playerRange, transform.position.y, transform.position.z));
if (transform.localScale.x < 0 && player.transform.position.x > transform.position.x && player.transform.position.x < transform.position.x + playerRange)
{
Fire();
}
}
AND here's the bullet code I added, damage commented out for now:
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update() {
GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(speed, GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity.y);
}
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
if(other.tag == "Player")
{
//PlayerCK.hurtPlayer(damage);
}
}
(Global variables removed for formatting)
Why make bulletClone and bullet Rigidbodies? isn't it easier to make them GameObjects and prefab rigidbodies withing them?
Try :
public GameObject bullet;
void Fire()
{
Gameobject bulletClone = Instantiate(bullet, launchPoint.position, launchPoint.rotation);
bulletClone.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = transform.forward * bulletSpeed;
}
Let me know if this worked.
Hey JohnBrown22, Thanks for replying to this. I've changed the code and posted it as an edit here, I think I implemented the solution you suggested, and it's still not working. Thanks for the reply, though.
