Avoid repeating code?
Hi guys, I have this code:
function checkForButtons()
{
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
var hit : RaycastHit;
if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 200))
{
var objecthit:Transform = hit.transform as Transform;
if (hit.collider.name == "button_start")
{
print ("object clicked!");
}
}
}
Plain and simple way to detect a touch on an object, the problem here is that I have multiple objects with different names (or tags) that need to detect the touches, how can I use this code without re writtting it for every single object?
nested ifs, or a switch //////////// if{}else if{} else if{}
/////////// name = hit.collider.name
switch(name){ case "button_start" break; case "button_lol" break; }
Write a generic version of this script:
CheckForButton.js
function Update()
{
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
var hit : RaycastHit;
if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 200))
{
hit.transform.SendMessage("Touched", hit, SendMessage.DontRequireReceiver);
}
}
Then put your code on the actual object being touched in a function Touched(hit : RaycastHit) - if you need to pass more parameters you would make up a class and put the hit as one of its members and then send an instance of that class to Touched.
This is what I'm talking about, thanks buddy!! great script!
