Raycasting fail
Hello. I'm attempting to create a semi-complex door animation to activate when my characters raycast hits it, then it opens, and either:
Whilst the animation is happening it destroys the door's collider to prevent any possible glitches or replaying the animation when the raycast hits it
Or
Destory the door (it sinks into the floor, walls and roof) once the animation is over (so a timed function I guess)
Here's what I have so far
var rayCastLength = 10;
function Update()
{
var hit : RaycastHit;
//check if character is colliding with door
if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position,transform.forward,hit,rayCastLength))
{
//with the character
if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "door")
{
//open the door
hit.collider.gameObject.animation.Play("Take 001");
//destroy the door's collider
Destroy(hit.collider.gameObject);
}
}
}
Thanks in advance for any and all replies :D
what exactly is the problem? are you asking how to make the animation or the code to trigger it? also I don't think you'd need to destroy the collider, you could simply do collider.enabled = false That will prevent it from interacting with other colliders.
is that what you want to do? (also i'd do the collider.enabled = false $$anonymous$$ to the play animation not after you already started so the begining doesn't wonk it up)
Alright, I eventually got it working.. 2 minutes ago.. Haha I didn't know about a collider.enabled >.< Here's my final code for anybody that has a similar problem
var rayCastLength = 10;
function Update()
{
var hit : RaycastHit;
//check if character is colliding with door
if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position,transform.forward,hit,rayCastLength))
{
//with the character
if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "door")
{
//open the door
hit.collider.gameObject.animation.Play("Take 001");
//destroy the door
Destroy(hit.collider.gameObject,3);
}
}
}
What I had was an animation I created in 3DS Max along with the door itself, the animation was playing correctly and all, but all I needed was to be able to destroy either the door or the doors collider so I can walk through where the door was.
Thanks anyways :)
