[SOLVED] Shooting from Elemental Staff
Okay, sorry to bug you guys again. If I was to create an elemental staff within a model (it has no firing animation etc) what do I need to do in order to shoot from the staff in the straight line it's been clicked on?
I've attached a Sphere Gameobject as a child of the staff, but I have no idea on what I need to do in order for when I click my mouse that it shoots that sphere.
If you guys have any tutorials, please do tell as I'm actually wanting to learn how Unity works!
Thanks
You could use Vector3.Lerp() to move the sphere from initial position to target position, over time.
The Unity manual page on prefab instantiation mentions a few methods for firing projectiles. You could look into adapting those to suit your purposes. When example scripts reference a "direction" for the shot, you can provide a direction by subtracting the target position from the shot origin -- this will give you a vector pointing from one position to the other.
Okay, I used that to generate my code, but at the moment it just generates a stationary sphere. Although after trying to uhh.. Implement Vector3.Lerp, I'm kind of flabbergasted.
The code which I came up with is this:
var bullet : Transform;
var target : Transform;
function Update () {
if ($$anonymous$$otor.toggleCombat$$anonymous$$ode){
if(Input.Get$$anonymous$$ouseButton(0)){
var hit: RaycastHit;
if (Physics.Raycast(target.position,target.forward, hit)) {
var hitpoint = hit.point;
transform.LookAt(hitpoint);
var bullet1 : GameObject = Instantiate (bullet , GameObject.Find("spawnPoint").transform.position, UnityEngine.Quaternion.identity);
bullet1.transform.rotation = transform.rotation;
bullet1.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * 1000);
}
}
}
}
This is after I gave up with Vector3.Lerp. The code ^ just creates a stationary prefab at the 'spawnPoint' of the elemental staff. Any suggestions? :/
