Rotation roadblock
Hi,
I'm trying to create a 3d endless driving game based on instantiating tiles/panels as the player drives around. I started with perlin noise but settled on a more basic random generator. I have made it so that the PanelManager detects what type of panel the current one is and instantiates PanelGenerators around it but I can't figure out how to rotate those new panels so that the starting point is at the endpoints of the first panel without completely screwing up the positioning or having to hard-code every variation.
I'm looking for advice on how to have the newly instantiated panels "look at" the current panel and rotate accordingly, this will allow for continuous panel generation in all directions but I just don't understand something about rotation in unity and would appreciate any guidance available.
Here are some pictures of what I have and what I want to have:
Here's the PanelGenerator code, please ignore the perlin noise stuff:
public class PanelGenerator : MonoBehaviour
{
//public Material whitemat;
//public GameObject[] buildings, shapes;
public GameObject cross, downT, rightT, leftT, grass, roadx, roadz; //cube, sphere, capsule, cylinder,
public int mapWidth = 20;
public int mapHeight = 20;
public float seed = 42, noisediv = 10, buildingfootprint = 20, perlinNoiseDivider =10;
public enum intersectionType { straight, cross, downT, rightT, leftT};
public intersectionType _intersectionType;
public enum areaType { city, town, woods, shops };
public areaType _areaType;
//mapgrid
int[,] mapgrid;
void Awake()
{
//MakeShapes();
QuadMaker();
}
void Start()
{
//QuadMaker();
//MapGridMaker();
//PerlinRun(mapWidth, mapHeight, seed, noisediv);
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
}
public void QuadMaker()
{
//create new gameobject Panel
GameObject Panel = new GameObject();
Panel.transform.position = transform.position;
mapgrid = new int[mapWidth, mapHeight];
//generate new map data
for (int h = 0; h < mapHeight; h++)
{
for (int w = 0; w < mapWidth; w++)
{
//mapgrid[w, h] = (int)(Mathf.PerlinNoise(w / noisediv + seed, h / noisediv + seed) * perlinNoiseDivider);

}
