Question by Oninji · Nov 30, 2010 at 12:06 AM · collisionvector3contact

Instantiating at Collision Point.

First,

Here's the code.

hitParticle : GameObject;

function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision) { for (var contact : ContactPoint in collision.contacts) { var Hit = Instantiate (hitParticle, contact.point, contact.normal); } }

It tells me that, contact.point and contact.normal are NOT Vector3. While, if I pute .position after, it tell me that .position is not a member of Vector3... So the debug error is quite confusion... I'm missing something?

The correct syntax for Instantiate is : Instantiate (original : Object, position : Vector3, rotation : Quaternion) : Object You have supplied arguments like (Object,Vector3,Vector3) . It should have been Quaternion.

var hitParticle : GameObject;

function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision) { for (var contact : ContactPoint in collision.contacts) { var Hit = Instantiate (hitParticle, contact.point, Quaternion.identity); } }

Ah, myeah. Well it works now, I don't get the correct rotation, but I think I'll be able to handle it from there. thanks.

No problem. You can look into the Transform.Rotate to get a better idea of how the Object can be rotated.

I guess you want something like Quaternion.LookRotation which creates a quaternion which turns the forward axis into a given direction.

 [...] Instantiate (hitParticle, contact.point, Quaternion.LookRotation(contact.normal));
