SpikeTrap

[pat19645]

This is not really a Invector question, but maybe somebody will help me.
I made a spiketrap (like in basic locomotion update) all works fine, but i can't figure out how i can make the player stick on the spikes. Any help is welcome!

Regards, Pat.

Hey Pat,

I assume you have a script running on your spike trap?

if so, when triggered couldn't you set your invector player as a child of the spike trap game object for a period of time using Ienumerator function,
then set parent of invector to null afterwards when you want to *release* player fro spike trap.

let me know if you'd like a example script on what I mean.

[pat19645]

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
//other.transform.parent = transform;
other.transform.position.Set(transform.position.x, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
other.transform.rotation.Set (transform.rotation.x, transform.rotation.y, transform.rotation.z, 0);
}
}

This is what i came up with after a google search, doesn't work... An example would be very nice jgiroux!
Thanks for helping me!

Just drag and drop the vSpikeTrap prefab and replace the mesh, make sure that the new one have approximately the same size as the prefab

Us melee 1.3 users don't have the vSpikeTrap yet... :'(

 That's why i try to make something simular, it works fine, except the stick on spike part 

[jgiroux]

here try this, just to get you started,
____________________________________________________________

public GameObject Player;


void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col)
{
if (col.transform.tag == "Player")
{
Player = col.transform.gameObject;
col.transform.SetParent(this.transform);
StartCoroutine (Impaled (2f));
//col.transform.SendMessage("ActivateRagdoll", SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
}
}


IEnumerator Impaled (float Impaletime)
{
Player.transform.SetParent (this.transform);
yield return new WaitForSeconds (Impaletime);
Player.transform.SetParent (null);
}




_________________________________________________________

this script snippet should be added to the actual spikes.
keep in mind that adding the player as a child of transform may also change the scale of the player if your orginal game object (spikes) scale is not 1,1,1

easiest way around that is to create a empty game object with scale 1,1,1 and create a collider trigger on *that* empty game object and add script to it,

hope I am being clear. currently at work , so this code wasn't fully scripted out and is off top of my head and may need to be doublechecked for spelling errors.

Thank you very much jgiroux!
I will try it asap. 

[pat19645]

I got it working partly, as i use a moving spike based on Invector's Pendulum, i had some probs that my player didn't stick. I was able to fix it using Rigidbody. One problem is that i can't seem to recover (former settings Rigidbody) and continue the game, but i will use that trap as a deadly trap anyway's .  Thanks for the help jgiroux, i was trying this for a looong time before i came here for asking about it.

Here's the code. I'm sure it can be improved. 



insert code hereusing UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Invector;

public class PlayerStickOnSpikes : MonoBehaviour {
private GameObject Player;
private Rigidbody RB;

void Start() {
Player = GameObject.Find ("Player");
RB = Player.GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
}

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col){
if (col.transform.tag == "Player") {
Player = col.transform.gameObject;
col.transform.SetParent(this.transform);
StartCoroutine (Impaled (2f));
//col.transform.SendMessage("ActivateRagdoll", SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
}
}

IEnumerator Impaled (float Impaletime)
{
Debug.Log ("Impaled");
RigidbodyConstraints previousConstraints = RB.constraints;
RB.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.FreezePositionX | RigidbodyConstraints.FreezePositionY | RigidbodyConstraints.FreezePositionZ;
RB.useGravity = false;
Player.transform.SetParent (this.transform);
yield return new WaitForSeconds (Impaletime);
Debug.Log ("Not Impaled");
RB.useGravity = true;
RB.constraints = previousConstraints;
Player.transform.SetParent (null);
}
}

hey Pat,

im glad you were able to get it somewhat working,
first thing I notice however is you don't really need the setparent (in red) part in the OnTrigger because the Ienumerator takes care of it (I had that in there like I said when I was writing it from work and forgot to remove it since we handled it with the coroutine instead (so we can have a timer)
you could also try uncommenting the Activate Ragdoll, if you wanted ragdoll to be triggered(in green)

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col){
if (col.transform.tag == "Player") {
Player = col.transform.gameObject;
col.transform.SetParent(this.transform);
StartCoroutine (Impaled (2f));
//col.transform.SendMessage("ActivateRagdoll", SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);


to futher ask about this, what exactly are you looking to achieve.
player triggers impaling and does a ragdoll, and then when a certain amount if time passes player reverts to normal (minus damage perhaps?)

[pat19645]

jgiroux, the trap is final, Player is dead, hanging on the spikes.
The ragdoll worked, but i use the vObjectDamage script from invector where i can turn ragdoll on or off.

Have you tried doing other things from the spiketraps? Like Other game objects.
