Question by kieron_extreme · Jun 27, 2013 at 06:18 PM · raycastparticle

Sparks for unity raycast gun script

I have a raycast gun script and for the particle spark effect i have use Var Effect : Transform; and when i got to drag my sparks into the effect box the sparks wont work when i shoot my gun.

 var endBarrel :Transform; 
 var sound : AudioClip;
 var TheDamage = 100;
 var Effect : Transform;
 var Enemy : GameObject[];
  
 function Start()
 {
  
 }
  
 function Update()
 {
   var hit : RaycastHit;
  
   if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
   {
     // you can use PlayOneShot to specify the sound...
     audio.PlayOneShot(sound);
  
     audio.Play();
   }
  
   if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
     {
       if (Physics.Raycast (endBarrel.position, transform.forward, hit, 500))
       {
           Debug.DrawRay(endBarrel.position, endBarrel.forward * 100);
          hit.transform.SendMessage("ApplyDamage", TheDamage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);    
       }

Uhh... You're not using Effect anywhere. You declare it, but you never tell the code what to do with it.

Try this. Make your effect variable a GameObject and create a new variable and call it something like Muzzle and make it a GameObject. The muzzle should be an empty by the way. Place the muzzle in front of your gun then type this into the update function:

function Update ()

if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))

{

 Instantiate(Effect, Muzzle.transform.position, Muzzle.transform.rotation);

}

Best of luck!
