How do I get closest particle?
Hello, I am currently working on a small project and I am currently stuck as I don't know how to find closest particle. The thing I want to achive here is that enemies will dodge the particles (bullets). I have already found this (source) :
// Find the name of the closest enemy
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject FindClosestEnemy()
{
GameObject[] gos;
gos = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Enemy");
GameObject closest = null;
float distance = Mathf.Infinity;
Vector3 position = transform.position;
foreach (GameObject go in gos)
{
Vector3 diff = go.transform.position - position;
float curDistance = diff.sqrMagnitude;
if (curDistance < distance)
{
closest = go;
distance = curDistance;
}
}
return closest;
}
}
but I have no idea how to make it work with particles.
Thank you for all answers and ideas :) .

Use GetParticles to get the positions into another Vector3 array. You can refer to the sample in the script manual without the SetParticles line because you’re not changing the behavior of the emitted particles.
