How to Maintain Y Position? C#
I want to have the player press the "MouseButton3" and have whatever height he was at the time he pressed the button be his locked Y axis position until he presses the button again.
Ex: Player presses button when his Y position was at 10. His Y position is locked at 10 until he presses the button again/releases the button.
You must use a flag to indicate if it's locked or not. When the flag becomes true, save the locked height. If flag is true, force the y coordinate after the movement to the saved height:
EDITED: This answer had one error: the y element of transform.position was being assigned alone. It's valid in Unityscript, but not in C#, as @Bunny83 said - the whole structure must be assigned. This error fixed now.
float lockedY; // holds the locked height bool lock = false; // true if locked
void Update(){ if (Input.GetButtonDown("MouseButton3")){ // I suppose that's your button name lock = !lock; // toggle lock flag if (lock) lockedY = transform.position.y; // if lock became true save locked height } // do your movement stuff here // then force y to the locked height if lock active if (lock){ Vector3 tmp = transform.position; // position is actually a tmp.y = lockedY; // property, thus you must set transform.position = tmp; // all their members at once } }
Don't forget that you can't set a member of a struct-property. You have to assign the whole Vector3 in C#.
if (lock)
{
Vector3 tmp = transform.position;
tmp.y = lockedY;
transform.position = tmp;
}
That's what happens when a JS guy tries to write C#... Thanks, @Bunny83!
