How to increase the range of the player aiming?
This is my whole script, I added it as a component to an anchor. in the script, the anchor should follow the mouse position and rotate at its z-axis BUT: The mouse moves 360 ° and I don't want my anchor to move like that. so The mouse should just follow the anchor when it is in front of the player
//__
public class aiming: MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject player;
public GameObject anker;
public void FixedUpdate()
{
Aim();
}
public void Aim()
{
Vector3 difference = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - transform.position;
float y = anker.transform.rotation.y;
float rotationZ = Mathf.Atan2(difference.y, difference.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
difference.Normalize();
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, rotationZ);
}
}
//___
The solution I found is to make him just aim, when the mouse in inRange, to check that, I checked the value of the rotation in the z-axis. the value I wanted is 60 from both sides (60 and -60), that's why I used the Mathf.Abs method. here is my code now:
public class aiming : MonoBehaviour
{
public bool inRange = false;
public GameObject player;
public void FixedUpdate()
{
Vector3 difference = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - transform.position;
float rotationZ = Mathf.Atan2(difference.y, difference.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
//-------------------SOLUTION--------------------------------------
if (Mathf.Abs(rotationZ) >= 60)
{
inRange = true;
}
else
{
inRange = false;
}
if (!inRange)
{
Aim();
}
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
public void Aim()
{
Vector3 difference = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - transform.position;
float rotationZ = Mathf.Atan2(difference.y, difference.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
difference.Normalize();
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, rotationZ);
}
}
So to simplify the question, you'd like to know if a particular point is in front of or behind a GameObject?
There are probably more efficient ways, but I like the Unity plane class.
You create a plane given the forward vector and position of your player. It has functions for determining size, distance and nearest point etc.
Plane P = new Plane(player.transform.Forward,player.transform.position);
if (P.GetSide(transform.position))
{
//Yes, this is "In Front"
}
You can also compare the angle (Vector3.Angle) of your forward vector and the difference between the GameObjects positions if you'd like to narrow your field further - for example, the front 100 degrees rather than the full front 180 degrees.
float Angle = Vector3.Angle(player.transform.forward, (transform.position - player.transform.position).normalized);
This is even in degrees, so you don't need to deal with radian conversion.
first one doesn't work. the second one sounds good.

first, I will try to make it more clear: the player is the parent of the anchor. the anchor is the " point of rotation" and it has the arm sprite as a child. In my script, the rotation of the anchor depends on the position of the mouse cursor. this rotation is at the z-axis. When the mouse is in front of the player, its corner is between 90° and -90° degrees. the behind the player is it then from -90 to -180 and from 90 to 180, 180 and - 180 are at the same point (the middle), in that point on the other side is 0.

For your second solution, what is the angle, when the mouse is in front of the player? I should do it in an if statement, right? Thank you
Thank you very much for trying to help me, I already found a solution:)
