transform position and rotation of instantiated object
I'm having a dickens of a time with this code. While this code does what I want with a game object already in the scene at start, I don't know how to do it when I instantiate a prefab. Another goal is to destroy that clone on GetButtonUp("Fire1").
My goal is to have the clone follow the ray cast found hit exactly how blink pin would with a game object already in scene at start.
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class Blink : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject blinkPin;
public float maxDistance = 10f;
public static Transform cam;
Vector3 camPos;
bool summonedPin = false;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
cam = Camera.main.transform;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
bool foundHit = false;
RaycastHit hit = new RaycastHit ();
// new RaycastHit ();
//add camera local transform
camPos = GameObject.FindWithTag ("Player").transform.Find ("Main Camera").transform.TransformPoint (0,0, maxDistance);
if (Input.GetButton ("Fire1"))
{
foundHit = Physics.Raycast ((transform.position + new Vector3 (0,0,0)), cam.forward, out hit, maxDistance);
}
if (foundHit)
{
Vector3 posPin = hit.point;
Quaternion rotPin = Quaternion.LookRotation (hit.normal);
if (!summonedPin)
{
GameObject newPin = Instantiate (blinkPin, posPin, rotPin) as GameObject;
//why does this part not work?
newPin.transform.position = hit.point;
newPin.transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation (hit.normal);
summonedPin = true;
}
//if already in scene from start.
//blinkPin.transform.position = hit.point;
//blinkPin.transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation (hit.normal);
}
if (!foundHit && Input.GetButton ("Fire1"))
{
//make sure to change child cube to 0 0 0 here, and back to original in first if
blinkPin.transform.position = camPos;
blinkPin.transform.rotation = transform.rotation * (Quaternion.Euler (-90, 0, 0));
//spins master
//master.Rotate (Vector3.up, Space.World);
}
}
}
Hi, i am sry i have never used rays before, but i have created a simple program that Instantiate's a prefab and than moves it around (it follows some other game object). I hope this will help u. Feel free to say if i forgot anything or made a mistake. (I hope i didn't do any mistake in the code)
Transform spawnedPrefab;
GameObject theObjectWeAreGoingToMove;
public GameObject prefabToInstantiate;
public GameObject objectToFollow;
void Start () {
handWepon = Instantiate (prefabToInstantiate, objectToFollow.transform.position, objectToFollow.transform.rotation) as Transform;
// In the line above we instaniate the prefab at the position of the object we want to follow.
theObjectWeAreGoingToMove= GameObject.Find (prefabToInstantiate(Clone));
//In the line above we find the instantiated prefab in the actual game.
//Till now u tried to move instantiated prefab that only existed in source code.
//To find the clone that appeared in the game u have to know its exact name!!!
}
void Update () {
theObjectWeAreGoingToMove.transform.position = objectToFollow.transform.position;
theObjectWeAreGoingToMove.transform.rotation= objectToFollow.transform.rotation;
// In update we only need to move the object that we faund before.
}
I think the part with finding the object in the actual game will save your problems (btw the instanteated object in the game always has name of prefab u instanteated + (Clone) at the end so... instanteatedPrefab(Clone) for instance).
I think that when u find that Clone (Instaneated prefab) in the game u can also destroy it. (Tell me if i am wrong and I'll try to find how to destroy the Clone as well).
