Moving a gameObject to the position of an empty gameObject
I am exporting to flash and reloading the level when you die takes too much time. So, i am just moving the player back to the beginning point when you die.
I hard coded the position to send the player but that way i would have to re-write the script for each level to match the beginning points. So i am trying to save the position as a private variable.
So i have an empty game object at the beginning point of the level and when the player is in a situation that would cause death he moves to that position. However, there are different erros when i try different things. Below is the code i am using and i'll put the error up for the currently problem with this attempt.
#pragma strict
var enableGUI : boolean = false;
private var respawnPoint : Transform;
function Start () {
respawnPoint = gameObject.FindWithTag("respawnPoint").transform;
}
function OnTriggerEnter (hitPlayer : Collider) {
if(hitPlayer.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
enableGUI = true;
Time.timeScale = 0;
hitPlayer.transform.position = Vector3(respawnPoint.transform.position.x, respawnPoint.transform.position.y, respawnPoint.transform.position.z);
}
}
I am getting Null Exception Reference... but not to sure why since i have set the variable in start...
HELP! Frustrating.
You try respawnPoint = GameObject.FindWithTag("respawnPoint").transform; not gameObject, true is GameObject; and check tag.
Still getting the Null Exception on the 'respawnPoint =' and also the same error on the line 'hitPlayer.transform.position.
Sorry, don't worry i was being a tit. Forgot to add the actually tag onto the respawnPoint game object. Thank you though.
okay, you check again tag and check case sensitivity. you try hitPlayer.gameObject.transform.position
For future reference if anyone google searches this there is a better/easier way to do this:
You can just do it as:
function OnTriggerEnter (hitPlayer : Collider) {
if(hitPlayer.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
hitPlayer.transform.position = respawnPoint.transform.position;
}
}
Instead of defining all the axis separately.
