CS0176: An error I can't move past with rigidbody raycasting
So I've just begun work with raycasting and was ecstatic when I finally got my first Raycast up and running. However in modifying it I have hit a snag. Unity keeps popping this wonderful phrase up and google has yielded no results that were helpful. Here is the error:
Assets/PlayerAttack.cs(18,95): error CS0176: Static member `UnityEngine.Vector3.forward' cannot be accessed with an instance reference, qualify it with a type name instead
Here is my code:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerAttack : MonoBehaviour {
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
RaycastHit hit;
Vector3 fwd = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)){
if(Physics.Raycast(Camera.main.transform.position, fwd, out hit, 10)){
if(hit.collider.tag == "Palmtree"){
hit.rigidbody.AddForce(Camera.main.transform.position.forward);
}
}
}
}
}
Anyone have any idea?
I guess there is no Camera.main.transform.position.forward; this looks a bit odd can you confirm what you want to happen when the player presses E and the raycast hits the palmtree - what do you want to move?
The forward vector inside the Vector3 class is static, you access it like Vector3.forward, like you did correctly.
But then you wrote:
hit.rigidbody.AddForce(Camera.main.transform.position.forward);
position is Vector3 instance, right? and you're trying to access the static member forward from it, that's why it's barking that error.
Use either Vector3.forward, unless you meant Camera.main.transform.forward
Crap, all because I left position in. Thanks man, you're a life saver.
