snap object to another object
how do I snap Cube1 to Cube2 when they are very close to each other? can it be used with rigidbody objects? grateful if anyone could help in c#
eg: when Cube1 gets close to Cube2, Cube1 will automatically move towards Cube2 and stays nicely beside Cube2. hope it helps
Do you want them to snap in edit-mode? If so take a look at this:
no. I'm trying to snap objects in game and not in edit
If these objects are simple cubes with all the same size, you first need to check whether or not the distance between the two objects is < some value. You can achieve this with Vector3.Distance.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.Distance.html
so something with this structure
if(Vector3.Distance < 5.0f) snap
Then you want the objects to snap, this is a bit more tricky. With simple cubes, you could try this logic:
if the distance between the two cubes is small enough --> cube2.position.x = cube1.position.x + cube1.localscale.x --> cube2.position.y = cube1.position.y --> cube2.position.z = cube.position.z
OR
look at this tutorial
http://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/frames-per-second/
where they also make some objects snap to one another
will try out the cube snapping logic out. regarding the tutorial, seems like they are using force to move and snap the balls together. I'm thinking, will snapping work using raycast?
