How to have an object attach to my player when collided
When my player walks into this object, in this case a cube, I need it to simply attach to the player as if they're carrying it. This is what I've done so far.
var blockTransform : Transform;
var playerTransform : Transform;
function OnCollisionEnter (collision : Collision)
{
if(collision.transform.name == ("Player"))
{
blockTransform.transform.parent = playerTransform.transform;
}
}
If Tim's answer works for you, please accept it as correct. Otherwise, provide more information about your problem or describe why his solution doesn't work for you.
I've got the solution now. To start with, the character controller is too large so no collision can be detected. Then, this code...
Put this on the player:
#pragma strict
var blockTransform : Transform;
var playerTransform : Transform;
var holdSlot : Transform;
function OnCollisionEnter (collision : Collision)
{
if(collision.transform.name == ("Block"));
{
blockTransform = collision.transform;
blockTransform.transform.parent = transform;
blockTransform.transform.position = holdSlot.transform.position;
}
}
The block gets translated to infront of the player, or where ever the holdSlot is placed automatically when the player touches it.
I hope your actual code is properly indented. If not, I would hate to work with code base, and you'd probably find that I formatted it all. :)
I do not actully know what you are meaning AND it doesent work for me, Is It Javascript Or C#? I had put the script in the holdSlot GameObject (E$$anonymous$$PTY) but when the holdSlot touched the cube named Block it didnt do anything, Replying would be helpful.
you could have an empty game object as a child of the player and make a variable for it like holdSlot, then move your object to the spot like
blockTransform.transform.position = holdSlot.transform.position;
i would in most cases make picking up stuff happen from code on the player not from the thing you pick up though
I altered the code to look like this.
function OnCollisionEnter (collision : Collision)
{
if(collision.transform.name == ("Block"))
{
blockTransform.transform.parent = playerTransform.transform;
blockTransform.transform.position = holdSlot.transform.position;
}
}
But it still isn't working, I don't know what I could be doing wrong.
umm did you make a variable for your hold slot object and set it in the inspector?
well i see that you're using a name to detect the right object, did you make sure the object is named correctly
also check to see if it's even going into the collision function with a Debug.Log();
Nope, no kind of collision being detected.
#pragma strict
var blockTransform : Transform;
var playerTransform : Transform;
var holdSlot : Transform;
function Start () {
}
function Update () {
}
function OnCollisionEnter (collision : Collision)
{
if(collision.transform.name == ("Block"));
{
Debug.Log("yes");
blockTransform.parent = playerTransform.transform;
blockTransform.transform.position = holdSlot.transform.position;
}
}
