Help making script!!
hi, I'm not very good with scripting(seems to me like I still have a lot to learn). I need to make a script that will allow a rigidbody(ball) to go back to a certain spot(in front of my player) if it is pushed by the AI or moved too far from my player. Can anybody teach me how to do this in a script or make me a script doing what I want?
What's with the dramatic "!!"? I haven't been here long and I've seen so many posts like this it has become extremely easy to ignore them. I have one word for you
TUTORIALS
Find them! Learn!
Give a meaningful title to your question and use the tags properly.
Well, this answer will get you only the concept, no script, you will have to make it yourself. You can do it like this:
Create a transform where you want your sphere to be
Lerp the position of the sphere to the transform's position
NOTE: I have never tried this method before. So it might not work. There are many more ways how to do it, I just didn't show them because they are more complicated, and you said:

If it doesn't work, and you have also looked at other scripts like this one, I will make a simple example script for you.
EDIT: Here's an example script to make it work. Remember, for a noobie like you, the BEST place to learn is the Unity scripting reference, http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/index.html. Your example script:
//this script is tested
//this script will make the object it is put on move to its "target"
//move to...
var target : Transform;
//really the speed
var smooth : float = 10.0;
//distance the ball can be away from the target without moving
var radius : float = 1.0;
function Update ()
{
//check distance
if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position,target.position) > radius)
{
var lerp : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
//Lerp function, useful yes?
lerp = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position,target.position, smooth * Time.deltaTime);
//set position: THE most important part
transform.position = lerp;
}
}
I'm not sure if I actually did what you said. but thanks. you got me on the right track!
here's my script:
var Ball : Transform;
var separationDistance = 3.0;
var returnPoint : Transform;
function Update () {
distance = Vector3.Distance(Ball.position, transform.position);
if(distance < separationDistance)
Ball.transform.Translate(returnPoint.position);
}
Well, you can't just say
Ball.transform.Translate(returnPoint.position);
and expect it to work. Translate does not work like that. :P Here, since you really seem to be having trouble, I'll post a script the makes a object move to a transform.
