How to stop my sword from hitting myself
I am trying to get my player to swing his sword and hit other players in a network game. Currently my sword during idle and swinging animations collides with my character and begins to take away his health.
I can't change my tag to "Player" and everyone as "Enemy" because all the players in the game will be real players.
How can I find out if my collider is attacking myself and stop it before it does?
I've read about raycast and ignoring collisions but I'm not firing a bullet.
Physics.IgnoreCollision(theCharacterObj.GetComponent<Collider>(), theWeaponObj.GetComponent<Collider>());
You can use this to ignore collisions between two colliders. You'll want to get a reference to the character collider and the collider which the weapon represents and specify them both in this method.
This is better than comparing them at each collision because that could happen very frequently, leading to needless performance drops.
That's great, thank you so much, I'll give it a try shortly.
Solved.
Looks like I need to check with this code:
collider.transform.root;
