Change Target from Script in GameObject with another Script
Hello, I create a SolarSystem Simulation and I want if I click on the Text over the Planet switch to the Planet. I have a script for zoom around the Sun. In this Script is a target for the orbiting for the camera and I don't know how to change the target to the Planet (GameObject)
I need a code to change the target from a script in a other script.
My idea:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class ClickMercury : MonoBehaviour
{
void Update() {
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit hit;
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
{
if (hit.transform.name == "MercuryText")
{
// Here is the Problem
GameObject.Find(MainCamera).GetComponent<ZoomCamera>().target = gameObject;
}
else
{
}
}
}
}
Thanks for help!
To give you more help on this I think we'd need 2 things:
Does the program reach the line that you've commented when you click on the mercury text? You can tell this by either putting a breakpoint on that line, attaching your IDE (visual studio/vscode/rider) to unity and then checking whether you hit that breakpoint - this is the pro way of checking this ;). Or alternatively, adding in a Debug.Log line next to that comment such as
Debug.Log($"Setting the zoom target to gameobject: {gameObject}");The ZoomCamera code :) Then we can tell what happens when you assign a new value to target
GameObject.Find(MainCamera).GetComponent().target = gameObject; The gameObject in this line refers to the gameObject the script is on. You want the gameObject detected by the ray. hit.gameObject. using transform and gameObject is like using the this keyword, it references the object the script is attached to.
