My script puts an object at the position of the mouse, regardless of the position.
I'd like to limit where I can place the object to a small area around the player sprite.
Say if mouse X if greater than (X position + a little) of the players X than the object wont Instantiate. I've tried if statements along these lines but haven't been able to get it to work.
Here is the placement script.
public GameObject seedlings;
public GameObject player;
Vector3 mousePOS = Input.mousePosition;
// Use this for initialization
void Start(){}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
PlantInGround();
}
void PlantInGround()
{
Vector3 mousePOS = Input.mousePosition;
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
mousePOS.z = +12;
mousePOS = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePOS);
Instantiate(seedlings, (mousePOS), Quaternion.identity);
Debug.Log(mousePOS);
}
}
Grateful for any help.
To check if the your seedling position is near your player's position:
float maxDist = 3F; //radius within the player that the seedling can be instantiated
if ( (mousePOS - player.transform.position).magnitude < maxDist )
{
//Do Something
}
You could compare the distance squared instead, since magnitude involves a Sqrt() call which is expensive, but given that you are doing this only on a mouse click, it shouldn't really matter much.
Of course, you have to be sure that your player is about 12 units away from the camera's forward viewing direction.. given that you are doing this:
mousePOS.z = +12;
mousePOS = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePOS);
This is what ended up working. Leaving it for others. I honestly don't know why the coordinates just lined up. Thanks for the help #Lincon.
public class PlantItem : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject seedlings;
public GameObject player;
Vector3 mousePOS = Input.mousePosition;
void Update()
{
if (!Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
PlantInGround();
}
}
void PlantInGround()
{
Vector3 mousePOS = Input.mousePosition;
mousePOS.z = +12;
mousePOS = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePOS);
if (((player.transform.position.y < mousePOS.y + 0.5) && (player.transform.position.y > mousePOS.y - 1.5)) && ((player.transform.position.x < mousePOS.x + 1) && (player.transform.position.x > mousePOS.x - 1)))
{
Instantiate(seedlings, mousePOS, Quaternion.identity);
}
}
}

I am creating a 2d mobile game where one of the scripts uses a joystick to move and the other script lets the player shoot an object when tapping anywhere on the screen. The issue is when using the joystick it also shoots at the same time in that direction. Is there a way to separate the touches so when you use the joystick it does not immediately shoot to that direction but the player can still move and shoot anywhere at the same time?
Move Code
private void Update()
{
Vector2 moveInput = new Vector2(joystick.Horizontal, joystick.Vertical);
moveAmount = moveInput.normalized * speed;
}
Shoot code
private void Update()
{
Vector2 direction = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - transform.position;
float angle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.y, direction.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle - 90, Vector3.forward);
transform.rotation = rotation;
if(Input.GetMouseButton(0))
{
if (Time.time >= shotTime)
{
Instantiate(projectile, shotPoint.position, transform.rotation);
shotTime = Time.time + timeBetweenShots;
}
}
}
Instead of using Input.mousePosition you'll have to use Input.GetTouch. You can loop through it using Input.touchCount to find the first touch that is not interacting with a ui element, than use that touch instead of Input.mousePosition to find the direction to shoot (or not shoot if there is no touch). To find out if a specific touch is over ui you need a reference to the scene's EventSystem (or use EventSystem.current), and use EventSystem.IsPointerOverGameObject with Touch.fingerId.
If the joystick is not a ui element you'll need a different way to detect if the touch is over the joystick. For example you could check the pixel position, or see if the joystick itself has an "interacting fingerId". But with the assumption that the joystick is an ui element, here's one way to do what I wrote above: (untested)
private void Update()
{
var eventSystem = EventSystem.current;
for (var i = 0; i<Input.touchCount; i++)
{
var touch = Input.GetTouch(i);
if (eventSystem.IsPointerOverGameObject(touch.fingerId))
{
continue;
}
ShootToScreenPos(Vector2 screenPos);
break;
}
}
private void ShootToScreenPos(Vector2 screenPos)
{
Vector2 direction = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(screenPos) - transform.position;
float angle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.y, direction.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle - 90, Vector3.forward);
transform.rotation = rotation;
if (Time.time >= shotTime)
{
Instantiate(projectile, shotPoint.position, transform.rotation);
shotTime = Time.time + timeBetweenShots;
}
}
I have a gun and a player (cube) on a 2d Unity Project. I have made a script that rotates the gun around the player depending on the position of the mouse on the screen. I was wondering if I could adapt this script to make the gun rotate depending on the Horizontal and Vertical values of a joystick?
this is what I have so far (don't worry about my terrible spelling):
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class WeaponAming : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject bullet;
public GameObject spawn;
public ParticleSystem mf1;
public ParticleSystem mf2;
public float speed = .5f;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
turning();
if (Input.GetButtonDown("XButton"))
{
shoot();
}
}
void turning()
{
Vector3 mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
mousePos.z = 10;
mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePos);
Vector2 direc = new Vector2(mousePos.x - transform.position.x, mousePos.y - transform.position.y);
transform.right = direc;
}
void shoot()
{
mf1.Play();
mf2.Play();
GameObject projectile = (GameObject)Instantiate(bullet, spawn.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
projectile.transform.right = transform.right;
}
}
You can make a direction from Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") and Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") if at least one is nonzero, and then set the transform's right to that direction:
void turning()
{
float horiz = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
float vert = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
if (horiz != 0 || vert != 0)
{
Vector2 direc = new Vector2(horiz, vert);
transform.right = direc;
}
}
If you would like to invert the controls vertically, negate vert:
void turning()
{
float horiz = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
float vert = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
if (horiz != 0 || vert != 0)
{
Vector2 direc = new Vector2(horiz, -vert);
transform.right = direc;
}
}
I have a problem that I can not solve. I have an object, and I want when I click somewhere near him to move with some force. something like the picture below.
I'd even want some idea!!!
Help!!!
public float speed;
public GameObject player;
Vector3 target;
private void Update()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
var mouseClick = Input.mousePosition;
mouseClick.z = player.transform.position.z - Camera.main.transform.position.z;
target = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mouseClick);
var distanceToTarget = Vector3.Distance(player.transform.position, target);
if (distanceToTarget > 2)
{
target.z = 0;
player.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().AddForce(target * speed);
}
else
print("travelling COMPLETE");
}
}
Using the code you provided in your answer...
public float speed;
public GameObject player;
Vector3 directionVector;
private void Update()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
// Input.mousePosition is already in pixel coordinates so the z should already be 0.
Vector3 mouseWorldPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
// Now that the mouse is a world position lets set his z to the same as the player
mouseWorldPosition.z = player.transform.position.z;
// Gives us a direction from the mouse to the player. So think of it as Player <- Mouse remove the < and you have the equation
directionVector = player.transform.position - mouseWorldPosition;
}
else
{
directionVector = Vector3.zero;
}
}
// Physics based movement should be done in FixedUpdate
private void FixedUpdate()
{
player.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().AddForce(directionVector.normalized * speed);
}

Can you see the blue area in this gif? I want block the camera when the player go more to left, to not see the blue area. This is the code that I'm using to move the camera:
public class configuracoesDaCamera : MonoBehaviour {
Vector3 hit_position = Vector3.zero;
Vector3 current_position = Vector3.zero;
Vector3 camera_position = Vector3.zero;
float z = 0.0f;
public static bool bDedoNoHud;
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
hit_position = Input.mousePosition;
camera_position = transform.position;
}
if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
{
current_position = Input.mousePosition;
LeftMouseDrag();
}
Debug.Log("bDedoNoHud" + bDedoNoHud);
}
void LeftMouseDrag()
{
if (!bDedoNoHud)
{
// From the Unity3D docs: "The z position is in world units from the camera." In my case I'm using the y-axis as height
// with my camera facing back down the y-axis. You can ignore this when the camera is orthograhic.
current_position.z = hit_position.z = camera_position.y;
// Get direction of movement. (Note: Don't normalize, the magnitude of change is going to be Vector3.Distance(current_position-hit_position)
// anyways.
Vector3 direction = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(current_position) - Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(hit_position);
// Invert direction to that terrain appears to move with the mouse.
direction = direction * -1;
Vector3 position = camera_position + direction;
transform.position = position;
}
}
}
You mean setting up boundaries?
This should help you
Put it in the update()
I would like to make a smooth jump towards the nearest cube. I already have a script to detect the closest cube. I want that the X-axis is locked, so only the Y-axis and the Z-axis change when jumping. I would like to use a Jump animation when jumping. I already tried to use Vector3MoveTowards, but that didn't really work well, maybe I didn't use it properly.
Detect nearest cube where the player should jump to (C#)
void Update()
{
FindClosestCube ();
GameObject closestCube = FindClosestCube ();
Debug.Log (closestCube);
}
GameObject FindClosestCube() {
GameObject[] gos;
gos = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("cube");
GameObject closest = null;
float distance = Mathf.Infinity;
float position = transform.position.z;
foreach (GameObject go in gos) {
float diff = go.transform.position.z - position;
float curDistance = diff;
if (curDistance < distance) {
closest = go;
distance = curDistance;
}
}
return closest;
}
The tricky part is that at some cubes you have to jump up (y+1), with some cubes you jump towards the same Y (y+0) and with some cubes you jump down (y-1).
How do I do this?
Image of how it looks like:
EDIT: I have this code right now:
----------------C#-----------------
Rigidbody rb;
public int clicks = 0;
Vector3 target;
public Animation jumpAnimation;
bool jump = false;
float cubeDiffY;
bool movePlayer;
public float smoothTime = 0.3f;
public float yVelocity = 0.0f;
void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
}
void Update ()
{
FindClosestCube ();
GameObject closestCube = FindClosestCube ();
Debug.Log ("Closestcube = " + closestCube);
target = closestCube.transform.position + new Vector3 (0f, 0.7f, 0f);
cubeDiffY = target.y - transform.position.y;
movePlayer = true;
Debug.Log("Cube Difference Y-axis = " + Mathf.Round(cubeDiffY));
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0))
{
clicks += 1;
jump = true;
jumpAnimation = gameObject.GetComponent<Animation>();
//jumpAnimation.Play ();
}
if (jump == true)
{
Jump ();
}
}
void Jump()
{
float newPosition = Mathf.SmoothDamp (transform.position.y, target.y, ref yVelocity, smoothTime);
transform.position = new Vector3 (0, newPosition, transform.position.z);
}
I calculated the difference in Y-axis between the cube where the player is standing on and the closestCube. But the Jump() doesn't work. How do I fix that?
Okay I set up a quick version of your game and got what you wanted to work, it is not exactly a quick solution, because what your doing doesn't have built in functionality for other than using animations.
Here is the character script that has all the code you need and commented thoroughly so it should explain itself.
using UnityEngine;
public class Character : MonoBehaviour
{
//the collider for the player
private new BoxCollider collider;
//the jump box collider on a empty game object that is a child to the player object
public BoxCollider JumpBox;
//the offset of the cube so it doesn't stop inside of it
public Vector3 cubeOffset;
//how high the jump will be
public float JumpHeight;
//how fast the jump will be
public float JumpSpeed;
//holds the change in position the jump will produce
private Vector3 jumpDelta;
//holds the destination cube the jump is attempting to hit
private Cube destinationCube;
//true if a jumping animation is currently playing
private bool jumping = false;
//used to swap the jump direction from up to down
private bool jumpDirection = true;
//used to hold the position of the jump so it knows when to stop
private float jumpPosition = 0;
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
collider = GetComponent<BoxCollider>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if(jumping)
{
//move straight towards the cube
transform.position = transform.position + (JumpSpeed * jumpDelta);
//move up and down to simulate a jump
//check the current move direction
if (jumpDirection)
{
//add to the jump position twice product of the JumpHeight the JumpSpeed so that it will
//rise and fall the same amount of time it takes to move to the destination
jumpPosition += JumpHeight * JumpSpeed * 2;
//if it has passed the jump height reverse the jump direction
if (jumpPosition >= JumpHeight)
jumpDirection = !jumpDirection;
transform.position += transform.up * JumpHeight * JumpSpeed * 2;
}
//the jump direction is going down
else
{
jumpPosition -= JumpHeight * JumpSpeed * 2;
transform.position -= transform.up * JumpHeight * JumpSpeed * 2;
}
//check if the character collider intersects witht he cubes collider
//if it has then stop jumping and set the final position as the destination position
if (collider.bounds.Intersects(destinationCube.BoxCollider.bounds))
{
jumping = false;
transform.position = destinationCube.transform.position + cubeOffset;
}
}
//detect a jump
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
{
//detect all hits on the jump box
Collider[] hits = Physics.OverlapBox(JumpBox.center, JumpBox.size * 0.5f);
//get the closest collider with the right tag
Collider result = GetClosestColliderWithTag(hits, "Cube");
//if we have a result then begin the jumping animation
if(result != null)
{
//gets the destination cubes cube component(the custom class you have on your cubes)
destinationCube = result.gameObject.GetComponent<Cube>();
//calculate the jump delta
jumpDelta = (result.transform.position + cubeOffset) - transform.position;
//remove the left and right components so the jumping doesnt move to the left or right of the player
Vector3 component = Vector3.Project(jumpDelta, -transform.right);
jumpDelta -= component;
component = Vector3.Project(jumpDelta, transform.right);
jumpDelta -= component;
//setup the jump animation control fields to the initial values
jumpPosition = 0;
jumpDirection = true;
jumping = true;
}
}
}
private Collider GetClosestColliderWithTag(Collider[] colliders, string tag)
{
//just gets the closest collider
float distance = float.MaxValue;
int result = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < colliders.Length; i++)
{
if (colliders[i].tag == tag)
{
float distanceTemp = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, colliders[i].transform.position);
if (distanceTemp < distance)
{
distance = distanceTemp;
result = i;
}
}
}
if (result != -1)
return colliders[result];
else return null;
}
}
And here is my cube script which has some things you will need to add
using UnityEngine;
public class Cube : MonoBehaviour {
//these arent important just fields I used to set up a quick version of your game
public GameObject StartPoint;
public GameObject EndPoint;
public float Speed;
private Vector3 directionVector;
private bool direction;
//YOU WILL NEED THIS!!
[HideInInspector]
public BoxCollider BoxCollider;
// Use this for initialization
void Start() {
//not important
directionVector = EndPoint.transform.position - StartPoint.transform.position;
directionVector.Normalize();
//DONT FORGET TO SET YOUR BOX COLLIDER
BoxCollider = GetComponent<BoxCollider>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
float distance = 0;
if (direction)
{
distance = Vector3.Distance(EndPoint.transform.position, transform.position);
transform.position += directionVector * Speed;
if (distance < Vector3.Distance(EndPoint.transform.position, transform.position))
direction = !direction;
}
else
{
distance = Vector3.Distance(StartPoint.transform.position, transform.position);
transform.position -= directionVector * Speed;
if (distance < Vector3.Distance(StartPoint.transform.position, transform.position))
direction = !direction;
}
}
}
Previous Answer
I would say you need to calculate the perceived position of the object in the future.
Vector3 futurePos = cubePos + (cubeMoveDirection * cubeMoveSpeed);
Once you have the future position, even if it is not exact, you should aim your animation towards that position. To do this I would have the animation change a speed vector instead of an actual transforms position that way we can rotate this speed vector in any direction you want while keeping the orientation of the block. Otherwise you have to rotate the entire block to point towards the direction you want. If this is what you want then put your block under a empty gameobject, rotate the empty gameobject to point to where you want and do the speed calculations only.
Next your animation should have a net move vector which should be pre-calculated and scaled down or up to meet the distance to the future position. It will look something like this(note this is not tested)
//class fields
Vector3 AnimatedSpeed;
Vector3 AnimationDelta;
//basic calculation
//get the direction vector from the players current position to the future
block position
Vector3 dirVector = futurePos - transform.position;
//find the rotation from the current orientation to the direction vector
Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(transform.forward, dirVector);
//calculate the distance from you to the cube and scale it with the magnitude of the AnimationDelta
float result = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, futurePos);
result = result / animationDelta.magnitude;
//finally rotate the forward vector by the rotation and multiply it by the
//animation speed and the result to get the step by step movement as
//the animation plays. NOTE: The animation should be based on forward direction
transform.position += (AnimationSpeed * rotation) * result * Time.deltaTime;
Hopefully this does it, like I said I haven't tested it at all so you may have to do some tweaking based on your particular case as this is essentially psuedo-code.
Good luck! I'm off to bed I'll check back when I wake up.
