Scale On One Side Only
I know there have been many other questions on this topic but none of them have an answer that works for me. I have tried scaling an empty parent of the object snapped to the side, which works in the inspector but not script. I have tried moving the position after scaling, which however much I try doesn't work. By the way, I'm not using the line renderer for my laser, as that is not three-dimentional when viewed from behind. Here's the code of my laser that I'm trying to move.
public class laserScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public float damage = 10f;
public float range = 1000f;
public float distanceAway;
public GameObject laser;
private void Update()
{
if (Input.GetButton("BButton"))
{
distanceAway = range;
laser.SetActive(true);
Fire();
}
else if (!Input.GetButton("BButton"))
{
laser.SetActive(false);
}
}
public void Fire()
{
RaycastHit hit;
if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position,transform.forward, out hit, range))
{
distanceAway = hit.distance;
}
laser.transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.1f,distanceAway - 1,0.1f);
}
}
At the moment, this script I have been trying the scale the parent that is on one side of the laser. the laser gameobject seen in the script is referencing the parent.
