help with goal detection system,Goal detection systems not working
I have been trying to make a detection system for the game "pong". But i can't seem to find any way to detect if a goal has been scored I have used tried two scripts both of which don't work The first one is:
public GameObject Ball; //assigning object
private float position;
void Start()
{
position = Ball.transform.position.x;
//gets the pos of x
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
if (position > 20 ||
position < -20) //checks if it's out of bounds
{
Debug.Log("Goal!");
}
}
The other one is the one i prefer works because it has a scoreboard with it, and i'm still a begginer so i don't know how to use scoreboards.
private int Player1Score;
private int Player2Score;
public void Player1Scored()
{
Player1Score++;
Player1Text.GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>().text = Player1Score.ToString();
}
public void Player2Scored()
{
Player2Score++;
Player2Text.GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>().text = Player2Score.ToString();
}
Please help me i've been working on this for hours now
So, with your first script, the variable "position" is only being set at the beginning of the game. As a result, the variable "position" is never going to change, regardless of where the ball goes. What you need to do is move the line "position = Ball.transform.position.x;" to the beginning of the FixedUpdate method.
As for the second script, everything looks fine, except that (as far as I can tell) you're not calling the Player1Scored() or the Player2Scored() methods when one of the players scores.
