Melee combat, sphereoverlap not working
Hi guys,
so, on my quest to learn unity i decided to make a 2d mini rpg.. And after doing some basic scripting and movement i decided i wanted to try making a basic melee system but it doesn't work past the Debug.Log("Step 1") even if i'm standing right next to a cube with a Enemy health Script with the "damageDeal" function in it. Why? what did i do wrong
Here it is:
var dmg : int = 10;
var Cooldown : float = 0.5;
var Attacktimer : float = 0;
var Range : float = 20;
var dist : float;
function Update () {
Attacktimer += Time.deltaTime;
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
Debug.Log("Step 1");
// animation.Play("Attack");
Attacktimer = 0;
var collisions : Collider[] = Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position, Range);
for (var hit : Collider in collisions) {
if (hit && hit.tag == "Enemy"){
dist = Vector3.Distance(hit.transform.position, transform.position);
Debug.Log(dist);
Debug.Log("Step 2");
if (dist <= Range)
{
hit.gameObject.SendMessage("damageDeal", dmg);
}
}
}
}
}
Sorry if this is something obvious, im new ;)
OH! and thanks in advance!!
It'd be awesome if an ad$$anonymous$$ could change the tittle to something like : "Send$$anonymous$$essage doubt" of something similar because the title doesn't make a good job at describing my current question as the sphereoverlap was working fine!
Do not use capital letters when starting variables, its confusing to read, they are used for functions and classes. As you had a Range variable, there is also a Range() function. I changed all of them for you.
Most important. You have if(HIT && hit.tag == ...whatever..){ What is hit supposed to be here?
Havent tested this tho, but think it will work now, if not let me know
var dmg : int = 10; var cooldown : float = 0.5; var attackTimer : float = 0.0; var range : float = 20.0; var dist : float;
function Update () { Attacktimer += Time.deltaTime;
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0))
{
Debug.Log("Step 1");
// animation.Play("Attack");
attacktimer = 0;
var collisions : Collider[] = Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position, range);
for (var hit : Collider in collisions) {
if (hit.tag == "Enemy"){
dist = Vector3.Distance(hit.transform.position, transform.position);
Debug.Log(dist);
Debug.Log("Step 2");
if (dist <= range)
{
hit.gameObject.SendMessage("damageDeal", dmg);
}
}
}
}
}
1- Thanks for the tip! corrected it! 2- it wasn't due to the (HIT && hit.tag ==..) thing, i had the tag on my enemy as "enemy" ins$$anonymous$$d of "Enemy"... such a retarded mistake.. 3- It now reaches the Step 2 and even sends the message but i gives me a no receiver error even though i have the following script on my enemy:
var currentHealth : int = 0;
var maxHealth : int = 100;
function Star() {
currentHealth = maxHealth;
}
function Update () {
if ( currentHealth <= 0)
Destroy(gameObject);
}
function DamageDeal (dmg : int)
{
currentHealth -= dmg;
}
note: yes i am aware that the script i pasted on the OP called the function with a small letter at the beginning but after your not on variable names i changed all functions to a capital letter, here and on the dmg script.
Thanks in advance!
Solved i was in full retard mode yesterday, i had made the tag but hadn't put on the enemy --'
