Hey Guys I've been having a problem lately that I cant seem to solve.
A sprite is supposed to roam around (as it does) while nothing is inside its radius, however if the player moves close to it the sprite should theoretically move towards it and stop roaming.
The sprite doesn't follow the player and cant even see its tag since I cant even see the contents of the "Collider2D[] hits".
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class FireCultist : MonoBehaviour
{
public float moveTimeSeconds; //Time it will take object to move, in seconds.
private float xMax = 10.0f; // The boundaries of the spawn area
private float yMax = 10.0f;
private float xMin = -10.0f; // The boundaries of the spawn area
private float yMin = -10.0f;
public int xDistanceRange; // The max distance you can move at one time
public int yDistanceRange;
private BoxCollider2D boxCollider; //The BoxCollider2D component attached to this object.
private Rigidbody2D rb2D; //The Rigidbody2D component attached to this object.
private float inverseMoveTime; //Used to make movement more efficient.
public Vector2 start;
public Vector2 end;
public bool roam = true;
public Collider2D[] hits;
void Start()
{
boxCollider = GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
rb2D = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
inverseMoveTime = 1f / moveTimeSeconds;
InvokeRepeating("RandomMove", 0.0f, 5.0f);
}
void Update()
{
Collider2D[] hits = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(transform.position, 10); // returns all colliders within radius of enemy
int i = 0;
while(hits.Length > i)
{
Debug.Log("Sees");
Debug.Log(hits[i]);
i++;
}
followPlayer();
if (roam)
{
Debug.Log("Roam");
transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, end, inverseMoveTime * Time.deltaTime); //Random move to new position
}
}
public void followPlayer()
{
foreach (Collider2D hit in hits)
{
if (hit.tag == "Player") // if the player is within a radius
{
Debug.Log("Chasing Player");
transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, GameObject.Find("Prefabs/Player").GetComponent<Transform>().position, inverseMoveTime * Time.deltaTime); // chase player
roam = false;
}
else
{
Debug.Log("Continues");
roam = true; // Continue RandomMove()
}
}
}
public void RandomMove() // gets random coordinates near enemy and moves there
{
float xDistance = Random.Range(-xDistanceRange, xDistanceRange); // check
float yDistance = Random.Range(-yDistanceRange, yDistanceRange);// check
if (xDistance < xMax && xDistance > xMin && yDistance < yMax && yDistance > yMin && roam == true) // If within boundaries of walking space
{
start = transform.position;
end = start + new Vector2(xDistance, yDistance);
Debug.Log("Roaming From : " + start + " To : " + end);
}
}
}
The roaming algorithm works however not too sure about the tag detection.
The script belongs to this enemy object
Player Object Properties
It looks like you are declaring a new hits variable during every update instead of using your class-level variable. This means the variable inside of followPlayer() will never be instantiated, and the information will not be passed between the two methods.
Try this:
void Update()
{
hits = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(transform.position, 10);
//...
}
You might also consider attaching a trigger collider to the enemy which sends a notification when the player enters/exits the trigger instead of relying on OverlapCircleAll()
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D col)
{
if(col.gameObject.tag == "Player"){
roam = false;
}
}
void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D col)
{
if(col.gameObject.tag == "Player"){
roam = true;
}
}

I made a Gun Script (using YT videos) and a Bullethole GameObject should Instantiate at the Position the RayCast hits an Object. But it is always at 0 0 0. I tried many thing but non work.

You're not hitting anything. You check to see if you hit something, and then spawn a bullet hole even if you didn't hit anything.
If you didn't hit anything, there isn't anywhere to put a bullet hole.
The problem is that you're using the raycast hit as a local variable, which allows you to use it outside of the scope where it's actually valid.
Delete rayHit from your class and define it in the raycast instead, like
out RaycastHit rayHit
then it should only be scoped for the if statement and you'll get a compiler error anywhere it's not valid.
This brings up a larger question about what do you do if it misses an enemy, or which layers you should be raycasting against. Personally I think you'd want to raycast against everything, then you can try to determine what you hit and what that means later. Only other really good alternative would be to raycast against enemies, then repeat that against objects if that misses, but it's a lot of overhead to keep spinning up the raycasting engine. You'd be better off firing against multiple layers and getting the layer off the collider.
PS too your spread is probably way, way too big. For values of spread, 0.01 is half a degree, 0.1 is five degrees, 1 is 45 degrees.
I found the Problem. Just tell the Gun that the Layer "Ground" is also an Enemy. Now it works. Thanks
Basically you need to Transform Direction e.g camTrans.TransformDirection. You can try this way
public class Raytest : MonoBehaviour
{
public Camera fpsCam;
public float maxDistance = 200f;
public bool update = true;
public GameObject objectToSpawn;
private void Update()
{
if(!update) return;
var camTrans = fpsCam.transform;
if (Physics.Raycast(camTrans.position, camTrans.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), out var hit, maxDistance))
{
Debug.DrawRay(camTrans.position, camTrans.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward) * hit.distance, Color.red);
Debug.Log("Did Hit");
var clone = Instantiate(objectToSpawn, hit.point, Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0));
update = false;
}
else
{
Debug.DrawRay(camTrans.position, camTrans.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward) * 1000, Color.white);
Debug.Log("Did not Hit");
}
}
}
After hitting raycast
Hello everyone and thanks in advance for your answers!
I am a beginner in unity, coding my second game after i finshed a couple of tutorials.
Since today, i noticed that suddenly all my "GameObjects" have a "UnityEngine." in front of them.
I have no idea how that happened, and it is also not just in one script, but all of them. Heres an example of it:
UnityEngine.GameObject item = (UnityEngine.GameObject)Instantiate(itemGOList[i], spawnTransform, spawnRotation);
This worked fine before without the "UnityEngine.", but now it only works when its written this way.
Do you know how this could have happened and how to revert it?
This is one of the scripts:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
public class Turret : MonoBehaviour

}
void UpdateTarget ()
{
UnityEngine.GameObject[] enemies = UnityEngine.GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag(enemyTag); // Find all enemies (and store in a list?).
float shortestDistance = Mathf.Infinity; // Create a float for the shortest distance to an enemy.
UnityEngine.GameObject nearestEnemy = null; // Create a variable which stores the nearest enemy as a gameobject.
foreach (UnityEngine.GameObject enemy in enemies) // Loop through the enemies array.

}
void LockOnTarget()
{
Vector3 dir = target.position - transform.position; // Store the direction from turret to target.
Quaternion lookRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(dir); // I have no idea how this works...

}

}
}
void OnDrawGizmosSelected() // Do this method if gizmo is selected.
{
Gizmos.color = Color.red;
Gizmos.DrawWireSphere(transform.position, range); // Draw a wire sphere on the selected point (selected turret f. e.) and give it the towers range.
}
}
The problem was that i had a script called "GameObject" in my Unity Project.
I was also able to rename all "UnityEngine.GameObject" to "Gameobject" by using the Quick Action in Visual Studio.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Playables;
public class SpaceshipCutscene : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform player;
public Transform[] npcs;
public Transform console;
public Camera FPSCamera;
public Camera mainCamera;
public Animator[] anim;
public float rotationSpeed = 3f;
public float distanceFromConsole;
private bool moveNpc = false;
private float sp = 0f;
private float distance;
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
}
private void Update()
{
distance = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, npcs[0].transform.position);
if (moveNpc)
{
// Soldier 2 rotating and looking at player
Vector3 dir = player.position - npcs[0].position;
dir.y = 0; // keep the direction strictly horizontal
Quaternion rot = Quaternion.LookRotation(dir);
// slerp to the desired rotation over time
npcs[0].rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(npcs[0].rotation, rot, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
var dist = Vector3.Distance(npcs[1].position, console.position);
if (dist < distanceFromConsole)
{
sp += Time.deltaTime;
sp = Mathf.Clamp(sp, 0f, 1f);
anim[1].SetFloat("WalkingSpeed", sp);
}
Vector3 dirToComputer = console.transform.position - npcs[1].position;
dirToComputer.y = 0;
Quaternion rot1 = Quaternion.LookRotation(dirToComputer);
npcs[1].rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(npcs[1].rotation, rot1, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
{
if (HoriDoorManager.doorLockState == false && distance < 5f)
{
if (other.gameObject.tag == "SpaceshipCutscene")
{
FPSCamera.enabled = false;
mainCamera.enabled = true;
moveNpc = true;
anim[0].SetBool("Aiming", true);
anim[1].SetBool("Walktouse", true);
}
}
}
}
I'm calculating the distance between the player and the first npcs since I want the OnTriggerExit to trigger and work on specific direction.
When using a break point on the line:
FPSCamera.enabled = false;
It stop on this line and then I hit continue and it's getting inside the rest of the code in the Update.
But if I'm not adding a break point on that line it's not working it does nothing. Not giving errors or exception just not getting to the rest of the code in the Update.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider.OnTriggerExit.html
OnTriggerExit occurs on the FixedUpdate after the Colliders have stopped touching
Update happens every frame, while FixedUpdate happens on a timer. So things here is probably just out of sync. Creating a break point will ensure that the frame stops and everything is probably aligned when you do that.

There are two problems with the script.
If the Move Speed is set to 3 i need to set the Rotation Speed at least to the 10 if i will set the Rotation Speed to 3 or 4 or 5 the rotation will be too wide and it will take much time to the player to get back on track after rotating.
But if it's 10 it seems he is almost rotating on the place so it's not good either.
I want to be able to change the player rotation speed but also to keep him on the waypoints track at any time. I mean that each waypoint the player is reaching to that he will get to it's center. In this case cubes so not only to touch the waypoint but to get to it's center then moving to the next waypoint.
Another problem i see is with the RandomWayPointsAI()
When i change it to use the random method i'm not sure if it's just picking up random positions around the grid or if it's picking random blocks(Cubes).
But it's never getting to a cube it' getting close or between two or sometimes on a cube and same as before also on the random i want to make the random waypoints not just positions but blocks and to get to each random block center.
Center i mean like standing on it.
A glaring problem in the showcased code is the use of local positions and rotations. When moving and rotating characters and objects in the world you should use world space.
Localposition and localrotation are based on the position and rotation of the parent object. Using those to move your object across the world will cause weird problems.
I think the following answer has a pretty accurate explanation of that stuff https://teamtreehouse.com/community/global-space-vs-local-space
This question already has answers here:
Rotate GameObject over time
(2 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
in my project i have a bridge at the moment when i colide with the bridge it rotates and don't stop rotate, what i want is to rotate that bridge trough a specific point and stop rotate, that bridge is inside a gameobject that is my pivotPoint in general i rotate the pivotPoint not the bridge, so i did this:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class fallBridge : MonoBehaviour {
private Rigidbody ball;
public GameObject bridgePivot;
private bool colided;
private bool rotating = true;
// Update is called once per frame
void Start(){
colided = false;
}
void Update () {
if (colided) {
if (rotating) {
Vector3 to = new Vector3 (0, 0, -85);
if (Vector3.Distance (bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles, to) > 0.01f) {
bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles = Vector3.Lerp (bridgePivot.transform.rotation.eulerAngles, to, Time.deltaTime);
} else {
bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles = to;
rotating = false;
}
}
}
}
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
ball = GameObject.FindWithTag ("Player").GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player" && ball.transform.localScale == new Vector3(2.0f,2.0f,2.0f)) {
Debug.Log("ENTER");
colided = true;
}
}
}
what am i doing wrong?? the colision detection works perfectly but on the update method it never stops rotate :S
You should do this with coroutine. Call the coroutine function and pass in the GameOjbect to rotate and the angle to rotate to when OnCollisionEnter is called. You can read how this function work here.
Te example below will rotate the GameObject -85 degree in z-axis within 3 seconds.
You can change that to whatever suits you.
public class fallBridge : MonoBehaviour
{
private Rigidbody ball;
public GameObject bridgePivot;
bool rotating = false;
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
ball = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player") && ball.transform.localScale == new Vector3(2.0f, 2.0f, 2.0f))
{
Debug.Log("ENTER");
Vector3 rotationAngle = new Vector3(0, 0, -85);
StartCoroutine(RotateObject(bridgePivot, rotationAngle, 3f));
}
}
IEnumerator RotateObject(GameObject gameObjectToMove, Vector3 eulerAngles, float duration)
{
if (rotating)
{
yield break;
}
rotating = true;
Vector3 newRot = gameObjectToMove.transform.eulerAngles + eulerAngles;
Vector3 currentRot = gameObjectToMove.transform.eulerAngles;
float counter = 0;
while (counter < duration)
{
counter += Time.deltaTime;
gameObjectToMove.transform.eulerAngles = Vector3.Lerp(currentRot, newRot, counter / duration);
yield return null;
}
rotating = false;
}
The error is in this line:
bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles = Vector3.Lerp (bridgePivot.transform.rotation.eulerAngles, to, Time.deltaTime);
When you use Lerp you typically have a fixed beginning and end, and you make the last parameter (t) go from 0 to 1. In your case the endpoint is fixed, the t parameters is fixed also and you vary your start. This means that each update you take a small step towards your goal, but this step is a percentage of the way. So each update you come closer, and your next step will be smaller.
What you should do is remember where you were when you started, and at what time you started. You also need to define a speed for your bridge. Then you can move the bridge from start to end and you get control over the speed.
public class fallBridge : MonoBehaviour {
private Rigidbody ball;
public GameObject bridgePivot;
public float rotateDuration = 2; // Time in seconds
// When you begin rotating you fill these three variables
private float startTime;
private Vector3 from;
private bool rotating = false;
// If the target doesn't change you might as well define it beforehand
private Vector3 to = new Vector3 (0, 0, -85);
void Update () {
if (rotating) {
float t = (Time.time - startTime) / rotateDuration;
if (t < 1) {
bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles = Vector3.Lerp (from, to, t);
} else {
bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles = to;
rotating = false;
}
}
}
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
ball = GameObject.FindWithTag ("Player").GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player" && ball.transform.localScale == new Vector3(2.0f,2.0f,2.0f)) {
Debug.Log("ENTER");
startTime = Time.time; // Begin now
from = bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles; // Remember the start position
rotating = true; // Signal to start rotating
}
}
}
