Interaction between commands waiting onMouseUp()
Hi,
I've a theoretical (and consequently pratical) problem concerning how to manage a specific interaction between some "stuff" in coding.
I instantiate via code (C#) everything in my game but the terrain, main camera and again 3 or 4 other objects; everything else is coded: objects recalling prefs, GUIs, behaviours and so on.
Now... I have a vehicle and I want to set a new route to this vehicle. When you double click on the vehicle a window appears with all vehicle's data and some buttons to control some actions (start, stop, more info etc.) and 2 "special buttons": "Set starting point" and "Set ending point".
I desire the following behaviour:
- I click on "Set starting position"
- I click on another object on the map
- The vehicle now has its starting point set
Please consider that my onMouseUp() function associated on my map objects is as follows:
MapObject OnMouseUp()
{
if ((Time.time - doubleClickStart) < GlobalVariables.WindowDblClickDelay)
{
OnDoubleClick();
doubleClickStart = -1;
}
else
{
doubleClickStart = Time.time;
}
return this.mapObject;
}
This means that I don't care the exact point where the player will click, but the object (it will bring every info with itself).
I'm not sure how I have to proceed.What shall I do? Handlers? Listeners? Raycast using?
I would create a big 'ol collider behind any UI stuff and in front of any game objects. Then i'd attach a script with the collider and have it cast rays into the scene to pick out objects. I'd check out TouchScript if I was you.
Raycast is the best way to pick out objects from the scene and there are loads of plugins out there to facilitate.
Ok, I've realized something quite different than your reply still using raycasting.
I'm not sure if the way I acted was as you said (also because my prefab was composed by a lot of sub-objects).
This is quite the way I solved the question:
if (memMouseStart) {
if(Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
{
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit r = new RaycastHit();
if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out r, 1000.0f)){
startingPoint = r.point;
memMouseStart = !memMouseStart;
clickedObjectName = r.collider.gameObject.transform.parent.name);
}
}
}
