c# editing gameobject returned by a raycast
Im fairly new to scripting and Im still learning the basics. I have a basic first person character controller, and some game objects in my scene. So far what i can do its run a round and cast a ray from my character. id like to be able to modify the object that the ray returns.
say if the tree i clicked on had a script with a "fallDown" function or somthing, is there a way i can call that from the 'hit' variable that my raycast returned into?
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class AimScript : MonoBehaviour {[[
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
var ray = new Ray (transform.position, transform.forward);
Debug.DrawRay (ray.origin, ray.direction * 10, Color.red);//test
RaycastHit hit;
if(Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1") && hit.distance <= 6)
{
// somthing like:
// if( hit has TreeScript component )
// run TreeScript's falldown function.
}
}
}
any help would be much appreciated.
Your easiest method is:
hit.collider.SendMessage("DoSomeFunction", anOptionalParameter, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
or
hit.collider.SendMessage("DoSomeFunction", SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
Which will call DoSomeFunction on any script attached to the object that has one. You can also BroadcastMessage to include children or SendMessageUpwards to include parents.
You can look for a specific script using GetComponent
var someScript = hit.collider.GetComponent<SomeScript>();
if(someScript != null)
someScript.DoSomeFunction(with, some, parameters);
how would i setup that 'anOptionalParameter' in the scripts 'DoSomeFunction' function
im trying to pass a vector 3 through that message and setting up like this:
function interact(var newDir : Vector3)
but that isnt working.
-edit never$$anonymous$$d i figured it out
-edit never$$anonymous$$d again, i didnt figure it out
-edit NEVER$$anonymous$$IND AGAIN, ok this time i really figured it out!
