Reflecting linerenderer with raycast?
Hi, im trying to make a "laser" reflect against objects. But I don't know how i can make it to change direction when It's hitting something. When I try to change the direction of the "laser" It changes it at the Startposition and not at the Hit position.
This is my code so far. using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class testLaserScript : MonoBehaviour {
LineRenderer lineRenderer;
void Awake () {
lineRenderer = GetComponent<LineRenderer> ();
}
void Start(){
}
void Update () {
Laser ();
}
void Laser(){
RaycastHit hit;
if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position,Vector3.right,out hit,Mathf.Infinity)){
lineRenderer.enabled = true;
lineRenderer.SetPosition(0, transform.position);
lineRenderer.SetPosition(1, hit.point);
}
}
}
I got a little progression
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class testLaserScript : MonoBehaviour {
LineRenderer lineRenderer;
void Awake () {
lineRenderer = GetComponent<LineRenderer> ();
}
void Start(){
}
void Update () {
Laser ();
}
void Laser(){
RaycastHit hit;
if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position,Vector3.forward,out hit,Mathf.Infinity)){
lineRenderer.enabled = true;
lineRenderer.SetPosition(0, transform.position);
lineRenderer.SetPosition(1, hit.point);
if(hit.collider.tag == "Mirrors"){
Vector3 pos = Vector3.Reflect (hit.point - this.transform.position, hit.normal);
lineRenderer.SetPosition(2,pos);
//lineRenderer.SetPosition(3, pos);
}
}
}
}
With this code it reflects against 1 object with the tag "Mirrors". No i need to make something it reflects against mutliple objects. It has to be dynamicle so when i remove a "Mirrors" object from the scene It doesn't bug of give an error.
Thanks in regards!
I am trying to do the same thing. When I use your code the laser gets smaller close to the mirrors and grows again as soon as it departs in another direction. Any ideas why?
This package contains ray visualization including complex reflections using colliders:
