Get scale of instantiated prefab and resize
Hello All-
I am new to Unity scripting and am working on a learning project.
In my scene, I have an object that when it gets hit (using the raycasting system) instantiates 2 new prefabs. With the current script, the newly instatiated objects are smaller than the original object hit.
Here's the problem: when I hit one of the new, smaller instatiated objects, it produces 2 new objects of the same size, not smaller than the object just hit. (The general idea being that whatever object you hit produces 2 new objects of a smaller size - so in theory you can keep making smaller and smaller objects)
I'm guessing that I'm not getting the scale of the object hit and instead keep getting the scale of the original prefab. Help please?
Thank you!
Here's the code:
if (Physics.Raycast ( transform.position, gunDirection, gunHit, gunRange) ) { print ("Hit something");
//Add an explosion
explosionClone = Instantiate (explosion, gunHit.point, transform.rotation);
// Did we hit something with a rigidbody?
if (gunHit.rigidbody)
{
print ("I hit a rigidbody");
// Apply force to the object
gunHit.rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition (gunForce * gunDirection, gunHit.point);
for (var i=0; i<2; i++) {
var hitScale = transform.localScale;
print (hitScale);
// Make new barrel
respawnClone = Instantiate (respawnPrefab, gunHit.point, transform.rotation);
// Rescale the new barrel
var smaller = hitScale * 0.9;
print (smaller);
respawnClone.transform.localScale = smaller;
// Add to counter
barrelCounter.barrelsOn ++;
}
}
}
Wouldn't you get the localScale of the thing you hit from the RaycastHit (gunHit) not this.transform? $$anonymous$$aybe I am missing something.
Yes, thank you. (I misunderstood what the "this" was referring to in the script. Dumb noob mistake) Here's the working version:
if (Physics.Raycast ( transform.position, gunDirection, gunHit, gunRange) ) { print ("Hit something");
//Add an explosion
explosionClone = Instantiate (explosion, gunHit.point, transform.rotation);
// Did we hit something with a rigidbody?
if (gunHit.rigidbody)
{
print ("I hit a rigidbody");
// Apply force to the object
gunHit.rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition (gunForce * gunDirection, gunHit.point);
for (var i=0; i<2; i++)
{
// Make new barrel
respawnClone = Instantiate (respawnPrefab, gunHit.point, transform.rotation);
// Rescale the new barrel
respawnClone.transform.localScale = gunHit.transform.localScale * 0.8;
// Add to counter
barrelCounter.barrelsOn ++;
}
}
}
Could you please post the complete code with the variables respawnClone and other vars so i can understand what is happening? I am learning too, and as a noob i dont understand as the code is not complete. Thanks!
when i tried something like this it gave me an error that i was trying to access a non-static member . . . i need to shrink my prefab when enemy hits come on . . .
