I'm going through the worse struggle right now. I'm trying to create a game with pitfalls that if the players fall through, they respawn and the game counts their death. I'm completely at wit's end and don't know where to even start with this. The game is 3D
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Respawn : MonoBehaviour {
public Transform spawnPoint;
public float minHeightForDeath;
public GameObject player;
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if (player.transform.position.y < minHeightForDeath) {
player.transform.position = spawnPoint;
}
}
}
Use a collider on a plane/cube/whatever works for you, and set it to be a trigger. So when they pass through the trigger collider, it can record them and do what you want with it.
Use the OnTriggerEnter method script
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
other.transform.position = spawnPoint.position;
}
You are not putting any data in the "minHeightForDeath" float. Unless you do it in the editor.
Other than that, have you put the script on the player gameObject? And have you set what you have to in the editor?

I have a Player script. I have the variables on there
public class Player : MonoBehaviour
{
float horimove;
Rigidbody rb;
public float speed;
public GameObject thrown;
public bool win;
On my other script (I'm making a game where you instantiate spheres into a hole and win.)
public class spheresciprt : MonoBehaviour
{
public Player pscript;
public GameObject player;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
player = GameObject.Find("Player");
pscript = player.GetComponent<Player>();
}
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (gameObject.CompareTag("win"))
{
pscript.win = true;
}
}
However pscript.win doesn't change. The bool always stays false but I want the player to win after the sphere hits the trigger in the hole I want it to go to. I tried different computers. The same thing happened in different games I think so I'm probably just missing something.
First of all, make sure that the collision is detected. You can easily do something like
void OnTriggerEnter()
{
Debug.Log("Pass1");
if (gameObject.CompareTag("win"))
{
Debug.Log("Hey, it worked!");
}
}
in the OnTriggerEnter to check that.
If the collision is NOT detected, make sure there are colliders on all the affected GameObjects, as well as a RigidBody component on the sphere. Also, make sure that the collider is marked as Trigger. If you still have an issue with that, we will need to see your inspector to figure it out.
If the collision IS detected... Well, start by making sure that you have assigned the proper tag on the hole. Then, make sure that the player GameObject is actually called "Player" (since you are trying to find it by name) and that it has the script you are trying to get on the object you actually find (and not on one of its children). I hope that works, because I can't see anything else seriously flawed at your code.
Have you tried to change
if (gameObject.CompareTag("win"))
to
if (collider.gameObject.CompareTag("win"))
or just add the rigidbody to both player and other object.
does the other object have "win" tag?
Here is your script:
public class spheresciprt : MonoBehaviour
{
public Player pscript;
public GameObject player;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
player = GameObject.Find("Player");
pscript = player.GetComponent<Player>();
}
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (gameObject.CompareTag("win"))
{
pscript.win = true;
}
}
}
It sets pscript to the current values in Player script. This is the problem, because it is setting a variable to the current values, and you want access to the component. You could change this by, just replace all of the pscript variables with player.GetComponent<Player>(). There are other ways of doing this. You could, at the end of OnTriggerEnter, add this:
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
...
player.GetComponent<Player>() = pscript;
}
In both of these solutions you fix it. In one, you re-apply the variable. In the other, you are changing the component directly. Which is what you want, because you have pscript as an instance of player script, not the player script that is attached to player.
I am working on a 3d basketball game in unity.
It has a score and a timer. After a certain time my scene loads and starts from the beginning. Every time I throw the ball, I have to spawn it.
It has a spawn button and a shoot button. But I don't want to use the spawn button. So I want to spawn the ball automatically.
How should I do it? I am giving my spawn button code and throw button code bellow.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class SpawnButton: MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject ball;
public GameObject BallPosition;
public void Spawn()
{
ball.transform.position = BallPosition.transform.position;
var ballPosition = ball.transform.position;
ball.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().useGravity = false;
ball.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = Vector3.zero;
ball.transform.position = ballPosition;
}
}
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class ThrowButton: MonoBehaviour
{
static Animator anim;
public GameObject ball;
public float ballThrowingForce = 5f;
internal bool holdingBall;
void Start()
{
anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
ball.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().useGravity = false;
}
public void Throw()
{
anim.SetTrigger("isThrowing");
StartCoroutine(Test());
}
IEnumerator Test()
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.5f);
ball.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().useGravity = true;
//ball.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(transform.up * ballThrowingForce);
ball.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(0, 380.0f, ballThrowingForce);
}
}
To spawn a ball you should create a prefab and instantiate it. Example:
private class Spawner : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject prefab;
public GameObject Spawn() => Instantiate(prefab);
}
So that your throw code should spawn a ball and if you want destroy an older one.
The above answer by Iv Misticos mentioned the use of Instantiate which is a great way to spawn a new ball.
before you spawn a new ball, you need to specify when it must spawn.
Either you can
use a Invoke("SpawnNewBallMethod",3) //after this piece of code is executed, it waits for 3 seconds and executes the method you mention in it which can have the code to instantiate.
Or After the first ball's work is done, you can destroy it(Destroy(ball)) or set active to false - Then check the state (if it exists(null check?) or gameObject.active==true) and accordingly instantiate a new ball (if it is setactive(false) don't forget to destroy it later).
Although gameObject.active is obsolete, it will serve the purpose without complicating things.
In my opinion, Invoke is better than a IEnumerator here as Invoke will not stop the execution flow and continue with the other things while the timer is running.
I'm making some sort of a Evolution simualtor game. I have a script that is supposed to destroy the GameObject it's attached to when a creature's CapsuleCollider Triggers the OnTriggerEnter().
I have a problem that even tho the Creature's collider isn't even close to the Food, it still destroys the GameObject.
My script:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class FoodEat : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject FoodGO;
public Rigidbody FoodRB;
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider Creature)
{
Destroy(FoodGO);
}
void Start()
{
FoodRB = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
FoodGO = FoodRB.gameObject;
}
void Update()
{
Rigidbody[] allRigidBodies = (Rigidbody[])FindObjectsOfType(typeof(Rigidbody));
foreach (Rigidbody body in allRigidBodies)
{
if (body.gameObject.layer == 10)
{
OnTriggerEnter(body.gameObject.GetComponent<CapsuleCollider>());
}
}
}
}
OnTriggerEnter is a monobehaviour lifecycle method. You should not call it from your own code; it will automatically be called when it detects collisions.
Furthermore, the logic in your code right now seems to be incorrect, it is...
"Every frame, loop through all rigidbodies in the scene and if 1 is found on layer 10, destroy the FoodGO"
Simply remove your entire Update method and put an if in your Collision method, and it should work:
[RequireComponent(typeof(Rigidbody), typeof(Collider))]
public class FoodEat : MonoBehaviour
{
private void OnTriggerEnter(collider other)
{
Debug.Log(other.gameObject.name + " on layer " + other.gameObject.layer);
if (other.gameObject.layer == 10)
Destroy(this.gameObject);
}
}
A few noteworthy edits of your code:
I removed FoodGO, since it's the GameObject this script is attached to, you can access it by just writing gameObject or this.gameObject.
I remove the Rigidbody reference since it is not used anymore, and thus the entire Start() method.
Since this code requires a Rigidbody and a Collider to work, I added a [RequireComponent] attribute in the top, which will make Unity tell you if you forgot to add those components on the object you attach this script to.
I added a Debug.Log that prints the name & the layer on the creature that collides with the food, so you can debug and make sure it is working as expected
I am trying to get a conveyor belt to reverse its direction when the player presses a button.
Here's the code for the conveyor belt
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Conveyor : MonoBehaviour {
public float speed = 1.0f;
void OnTriggerStay(Collider col)
{
col.transform.position += transform.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime;
}
}
And the code for the button
public class PushButton : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject Button;
private Conveyor conveyor;
void Awake ()
{
conveyor = GetComponent<Conveyor>();
}
void OnTriggerStay(Collider entity)
{
if (entity.tag == "Player")
{
if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.E))
{
conveyor.speed = conveyor.speed * -1;
}
}
}
}
I'm getting an error saying "Object Reference not set to the instance of an object PushButton.OnTriggerStay (Unity Engine.Collider entity) (at Assests/PushButton.cs21)
I'm still not very familiar with using getComponent so I'm not sure how to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.
GetComponent will need a reference to an initialized object and a component or class that object has assigned. For what you are wanting, you will want to find a game object in the scene. Because you are already specifying that your GameObject has a Conveyor class assigned to it, find your GameObject and then specify the Conveyor component.
void Awake ()
{
conveyor = GameObject.FindWithTag("Conveyor").GetComponent<Conveyor>();
}
This should do the trick pending you have tagged your Conveyor game object with a 'Conveyor' tag.
However, there is an even easier way to quickly "grab" something like this. Be careful though!
void Awake()
{
conveyor = Object.FindObjectOfType<Conveyor>();
// ONLY DO THAT IF THERE IS ONLY >>ONE<< OF THE THING!
}
Here's a little essay on that. http://answers.unity3d.com/answers/46285/view.html
You often do that for example to find "boss" objects .. scene managers and the like.
Don't forget though, you can always just use a public variable, and drag inteh Inspector - that's always a sound idea for beginners working with Unity.
I have created a prefab with animation from sprite sheet, which I want to be played when the Player dies. I checked if the prefab is working by dragging it in the Scene, and it is correctly playing every frame of the sprite sheet in a loop endlessly.
Now I want to play this prefab when the Player dies, and after it ends to destroy it, but so far I am only able to place it where the player dies, and it stays there forever. Also there are some errors when that happens.
Here is the death script:
public class DmgByCollisionEnemy : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject deathAnimation;
void Die() {
deathAnimation = (GameObject) Instantiate(deathAnimation, transform.position, transform.rotation);
//Destroy(deathAnimation);
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
I set the deathAnimation by dragging a prefab in the Unity interface.
The error I am getting when the Die() method fires is
UnassignedReferenceException: The variable deathAnimation of DmgByCollisionEnemy has not been assigned.
You probably need to assign the deathAnimation variable of the DmgByCollisionEnemy script in the inspector.
So how can I do that properly?
You can try to add simple destroy script to Your death animation object that destroys object after time or trigger it in animation (Unity Manual: Using Animation Events). When you instantiate object it will appear on desired position and it will be destroied regardless to "main" object.
Destroy Script like this:
void DestroyMyObject()
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
Script to run after time:
void Start()
{
Invoke ("DestroyMyObject", 1f);
}
void DestroyMyObject()
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
Spawn script:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class SpawnExtra : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject deathAnimation;
public static SpawnExtra instance;
void Start ()
{
instance = this;
}
public void SpawnDeathAnimation(Vector3 position)
{
Instantiate (deathAnimation, position, Quaternion.identity);
}
}
And you can use it when you want to spawn additional object like this:
SpawnExtra.instance.SpawnDeathAnimation (transform.position);
Now you have to add gameobject e.g ExtrasController, add script on it and you can spawn whatever you want. Remember to drag&drop animation prefab in inspector.
