Rotating object with onscreen button
I'm using javascript.
I want to rotate a car with an onscreen button.
It's easy to to create a button, and easy to create a car.
It's easy to even create a car that if clicked/pushed down will rotate.
What I'm having trouble with, is creating an onscreen button that when pushed down with something like OnMouseButtonDown () will rotate the car.
What I have done is I have a car that the main camera follows. I have a button that moves with the car and is under the car in the hierarchy.
I had two ideas to solve the problem, but I don't know how to do either.
Is there any way to reference whether or not a button is pushed down in another script?
Is there any way to control another game object with a script from a different object?
If you have any other ideas to solve the problem they would also be appreciated. Thanks
You could try adding this if statement in your update method:
if(Input.GetKeyDown("mouse 0"))
{
//your rotation script
}
there is a way to control another game object with a different object's script you can do this by declaring the gameobject. for example:
private GameObject yourobject;
void Awake()
{
yourobject = GameObject.Find("yourgameobjectname")
}
void Update()
{
if(Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
{
yourobject.transform.position += Vector3.up // consider multiplying by time for smooth movement
}
}
please note that the example is written in C# , should work exactly the same in javascript with the correct context.
