Question by Ochreous · Jun 03, 2013 at 08:27 PM · c#gameobjectplane

C# Plane Detecting a Gameobject

Hi everyone, I'm try to modify the moveOnMouseClick script so it will detect when it clicks on a gameobject. The problem is I'm not sure how to make a plane detect a gameobject. Is there a way to do that like with a Physics.raycast? Basically what I would like it to do is detect if the player has clicked on a gameobject with a specific tag and when it detects this move to that gameobject's transform.position.

      * Para usá-lo, adicione esse script ao gameObject que você quer mover
      * seja o Player ou outro

You cannot modify a Plane.Raycast() itself to find a object. You have some choices:

  • You can use Physics.OverlapSphere() to find object that include the spot on the plane.

  • You can use a separate Physics.Raycast() to find the object.

  • Since this script needs to be attached to any objects that will be moving, you can use OnMouse*() functions like OnMouseOver() or OnMouseDown() to detect the object.

I made some modifications to the script. However they don't appear to be working. I made it so that if the Physics.RayCast hits the gameobject then it should go to where the hit's transform.position is. What's wrong with my script?

 public RayCastHit hit;
 // $$anonymous$$oves the Player if the Left $$anonymous$$ouse Button was clicked
 if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ouseButtonDown(0)&& GUIUtility.hotControl ==0) {
  
 Plane playerPlane = new Plane(Vector3.up, myTransform.position);
 Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
 float hitdist = 0.0f;
  
 if (playerPlane.Raycast(ray, out hitdist)) {
 Vector3 targetPoint = ray.GetPoint(hitdist);
 destinationPosition = ray.GetPoint(hitdist);
 Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(targetPoint - transform.position);
 myTransform.rotation = targetRotation;
 }
                 else if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit)){
             if(hit.collider.tag == "SomeTag"){
             Vector3 targetPoint = hit.transform.position;
             destinationPosition = hit.transform.position;
                 }
 }
 // $$anonymous$$oves the player if the mouse button is hold down
 else if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ouseButton(0)&& GUIUtility.hotControl ==0) {
  
 Plane playerPlane = new Plane(Vector3.up, myTransform.position);
 Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
 float hitdist = 0.0f;
  
 if (playerPlane.Raycast(ray, out hitdist)) {
 Vector3 targetPoint = ray.GetPoint(hitdist);
 destinationPosition = ray.GetPoint(hitdist);
 Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(targetPoint - transform.position);
 myTransform.rotation = targetRotation;
 }
                 else if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit)){
             if(hit.collider.tag == "SomeTag"){
             Vector3 targetPoint = hit.transform.position;
             destinationPosition = hit.transform.position;
                 }
 // myTransform.position = Vector3.$$anonymous$$oveTowards(myTransform.position, destinationPosition, moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
 }
