Stopping bullets from outside forcefield
Hi,
I'm trying to create a force field around a defense tower that stops bullets that are shot from outside of it's reach, to force players to go inside to be able to attack. What's happening now is example B, I want the behaviour of example A.
The forcefield has a sphere collider set as a trigger, so I thought of detecting if the object was a bullet in OnTriggerEnter and if so, destroy it, but OnTriggerEnter is also called when the bullet is spawn already inside the trigger anyway.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
Try putting in a "if" statement to test for the distance of the shell
float Forcefield Radius;
float Gap; // Increase this if the shells are going through the forcefield from the outside
void OnTriggerEnter(collider c) {
if (Vector3.Distance(c.transform.position, transform.position) > Radius - Gap) {
Destroy(c.gameObject);
}
}
Here's a better way, use raycasting from the bullet/gun. Raycast will NOT detect a collision if it is already inside the shield collider.
It seems like the raycast was made with your problem in mind already, so it would be the most elegant solution
