Raycast stops when false, even in update()
Hi there,
I've got a raycast to check whether a target can be fired at (as in, if he;s not behind a wall, etc)
here's the code-
Vector3 fwd = (target.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;
RaycastHit hit;
Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, fwd * 10, Color.blue);
if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, fwd, out hit, 20)) {
Debug.Log(hit.collider.gameObject.name);
if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "enemy") {
controlthing.GetComponent<lightning>().shouldgo = true;
}
else if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag != "enemy") {
controlthing.GetComponent<lightning>().shouldgo = false;
}
}
Can anyone see what i'm doing wrong here?
What is the problem? Does it never shoot, or sometimes shoot if you are just behind a wall, etc... .
What does "stops when false" mean? Do you mean that it stops doing raycasts?
You sure you used "enemy" as tag and not "Enemy"? It's case sensitive.
Second, consider using "CompareTag" instead of ".tag == xyz". CompareTag will also check if the tag is available and give a warning if you compare an tag which doesn't exist.
Third, the second "else if" is not necessary. If the tag equals to enemy it goes in the "if"-branch if not it goes into "else". No need for extra check (and processing).
