Move sprite depending on its collider position
Hi everyone, i'm having a little problem trying to accomplish this:
I have a simple rectangular sprite with a BoxCollider2D attached to it. The box collider size is smaller than the whole sprite and its center is different from the sprite's center. [I have a sprite of a man, with the box collider just around his feet]
What i want to do is to transform the sprite's position when it its a trigger, and move it to another linked trigger. It works fine if i use
player.transform.position = new Vector3 (xScenePosition, yScenePosition)
where xScenePosition and yScenePosition are the linked trigger coordinates. But this centers the whole sprite on the linked trigger, instead i need to have its BoxCollider2D centered on the linked trigger position.
It should work if i get the sprite.transform.positionand make the difference with its collider center position. Then i can add this calculated difference to the resulting linked trigger position.
i've tried getting Collider.center but i know it gives some local coordinates and i don't know how to translate them to get the right difference to get this working.
Does anybody have an advice for this?
Thank you very much
If you don't have any rotation in the sprite, you can do it this way:
var offset = player.GetComponent(BoxCollider).center;
player.transform.position = new Vector3 (xScenePosition, yScenePosition) - offset;
If your sprite rotates, this will work:
var offset = player.GetComponent(BoxCollider).center;
player.transform.position = new Vector3 (xScenePosition, yScenePosition) + player.transform.position - playertransform.TransformPoint(offset);
i've tried that before, but for some reason the collider doesn't get in the middle of the trigger :( maybe that's because it's "center" position is in some local scale but i don't know how to convert it
