Directional melee system
Hi guys, I have a rather simple question. Is it possible to make a directional melee system in unity by "cutting" the screen in 4 pieces so that you can detect in which part your mouse is and through this play different animations based by the position of your mouse on the screen.Of course the weapon would have a collider so i could create defense and attack poses/animations from different directions abit similair to games as war of the roses and mount and blade warband(of course not so advanced). Also is there a better way to do this?
Pretty easy. You have the variables Screen.width and Sceen.height which gives you your current screen width and height in pixels. Then you have Input.mousePosition, which gives you a vector describing where your mouse is on the screen.
So you could do something like this:
float screenHorizontalMidpoint = Screen.width / 2f;
float screenVerticalMidpoint = Screen.height / 2f;
Vector2 mousePosition = Input.mousePosition;
bool mouseOnTheLeft = mousePosition.x < screenHorizontalMidpoint;
bool mouseOnTheBottom = mousePosition.y < screenVerticalMidpoint;
And use those bools to decide on what attack to do.
