Stacking objects in runtime.
I am making a sort of simulator game. And the most important part of the game is achieving what I am failing to... stack items.
So for instance. If the user chooses a wall, when they click where they want to place it, I want to automatically place the next wall directly above it (while the mouse is hovering over, if not then it will stay at 0 on the transform position.
I have a script called ItemController and at the moment it checks to see if it is touching a trigger collider, if it is (with the tag name "item" then it moves up the height that is preset in the code)... here is an example:
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject.tag == "item")
{
itemPosY = other.transform.position.y + 9.5f;
}
}
void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
{
itemPosY = 0.05f;
}
But it only seems to do this once. I need it to just keep moving up when I click to place the object.
Sorry if this is hard to understand. I will attach an image, if that will help...! alt text
you could add a counter so that each time a wall is placed above another add 1 to that counter. Then you could go:
itemPosY = other.transform.position.y + 9.5f * counter;
You'd want the counter to initialize with a value of 1 at start.
Another way you could do it is get the bound size:
GetComponent<Collider>().bounds.size
So you don't need to hard code the height of the object.
