Animation doesn't play when distant check is triggered
Another question from the user with the mental capacity of a wooden spoon.
I have this script here that's supposed to activate a animation for a modeled, rigged, textured, monster I made with unity. I added the animation and the script to the monster doing some box checking so it says on trigger. Thanks for reading and if there is a reputation system here please tell me so after posting your answer.
var distance;
var reach = 10.0;
function Update ()
{ if(distance < reach) { animation.Play ("Sprint");
} }
If you need to say something about the answers given use the comment box, you won't have to wait for moderation and that is how it works.
You have two ways to check distance:
Using Vector
Using triggerBox
1-
var target:Transform;
var range :int;
function Start(){
target = GameObject.Find("PlayerOrElse").transform;
}
function Update(){
if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, target.position)< range){
//Action
}
2-
Add a empty game object to your NPC, add a sphere collider to it and tick IsTrigger. On the main script, you could have:
PlayerScript.js
var inRange:boolean;
function Update(){
if(inRange){
//Action
}
}
the empty object has:
var script:PlayerScript;
function Start(){
script = gameObject.GetComponent(PlayerScript);
}
function OnTriggerEnter(other:Collider){
if(other.gameObject.tag=="Player")script.InRange=true;
}
function OnTriggerExit(other:Collider){
if(other.gameObject.tag=="Player")script.InRange=false;
}
The second approach will save some cycles since only a boolean is checked when the first one needs to perform the distance calculation, not that big a deal though but if you have a lot of this type of NPC, in the long run that could make a tiny difference.
