Question by MikezNesh · Jul 21, 2010 at 06:19 AM · pathfindingdragtargetwaypoints

Passing stuff from script to script (setting change-able waypoints) ....

I am almost done with my game like a game called Phage Wars. In this game you click/drag and release your drag on an enemy building to send troops to attack that building.

I got the dragging done but I need to know how to tell where to send the troops.

Therefore I set up waypoints. Unfortunately the waypoint location is not fixed so I need to know how to set up a way to add the waypoint location where you release your click (which gameObject released on).

I have created a variable called target with a Transform property defined (var target : Transform;). Then I am trying to find where you click and make the waypoint location there.

Unfortunately the waypoint system is in a different script.

So how will I set up a way to access the location of the waypoint in the waypoint script from another script?

Aron's work on A* AI might be of use. http://www.arongranberg.com/unity/a-pathfinding/

Or to just place a prefab where you clicked the mouse use something like this:

var Prefab : GameObject ;

function Update () { if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) { var ray: Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition); var hit: RaycastHit;

     if (Physics.Raycast(ray, hit)) {
       Instantiate(Prefab, hit.point, Quaternion.identity);     
         } 
 }   

}

A few problems... I want to make it so that each player follows his own waypoint not all instantiated units will follow one waypoint. How will I do that?
