Rotating a GUI Texture depending on a Collision

Question

Hello everyone,

I have made a GUI texture for a semi circle with an arrow at the top of the semi circle.

I have made it able to be rotated arund a point using this code:

var Targeter : Texture2D; var Gdepth : int = 0; var rotAngle : float = 0; private var pivotPoint : Vector2; var Scaler = 0.00; var alpha = 1.00;

function OnGUI() {
    GUI.color = new Color(1,1,1, alpha);
    GUI.depth = Gdepth;
    pivotPoint = Vector2(Screen.width/2,Screen.height/2);
    GUIUtility.RotateAroundPivot (rotAngle, pivotPoint);
GUI.DrawTexture(new Rect ((Screen.width/2)-(50*Scaler), (Screen.height/2)-(62*Scaler), (50*Scaler)*2, (50*Scaler)), Targeter, ScaleMode.ScaleToFit);

rotAngle ++;
}

however instead of just rotating I want to be able to make the rotation of it equal to a value that is dependent on the point of collision of a bullet with my character collider

For example if the bullet collider that hit me hit my collider at the front the GUI would have a rotation of 0

if I was hit from the left, rotAngle = 270

if I was hit from the right, rotAngle = 90

if I was hit from behind, rotAngle = 180

I am guessing I would use something like ContactPoint, Collision.contacts or ControllerColliderHit.point

but I'm not sure on the best way forward

any help would be much appreciated

Answer 1

the whole script I ended up with:

var Targeter : Texture2D; var TargeterCube : Transform; var Gdepth : int = 0; private var pivotPoint : Vector2; var Scaler = 1.00; var alpha = 0.00; var rotAngle : float; var smooth = 2.0; var delayT : int;

function Update () {
    rotAngle = TargeterCube.eulerAngles.y;

 if(delayT == 0){
 CancelInvoke();
 alpha = 0.0;
 }

function OnCollisionEnter () {
    alpha = 1.0;
    delayT = 2;
    InvokeRepeating("Minus1", 1, 1);
}

function OnGUI() {

 GUI.color = new Color(1,1,1, alpha);
 GUI.depth = Gdepth;
 pivotPoint = Vector2(Screen.width/2,Screen.height/2);
 GUIUtility.RotateAroundPivot (rotAngle, pivotPoint);

GUI.DrawTexture(new Rect ((Screen.width/2)-(50*Scaler), (Screen.height/2)-(62*Scaler), (50*Scaler)*2, (50*Scaler)), Targeter, ScaleMode.ScaleToFit);
}

function Minus1 () {
    delayT -= 1;
}

and the part that actually does the rotating:

GUIUtility.RotateAroundPivot (rotAngle, pivotPoint);

hope that might help someone looking for the same answer as I was
