Flaming Arrow damage

[projectonegames]

This product is really fantastic. I am building a cool adventure with it and it is a lot of fun to work with.
In one part, I have an array of archers standing above the player and companion. They are flooding the sky with flaming arrows.
These arrows rain down on them and they must avoid them or be damaged.
The arrows are created by a script.  
I have been unable to get them to connect to the damage within your product.
This script (below) is where we trigger the damage. Any advice?
(I will post a demo of what it looks like when I get it to work. )



using UnityEngine;

using System.Collections;

using Invector.CharacterController;

using Invector;



namespace firearrows

{

public class HitMe : MonoBehaviour

{





public void BlowMeUp ()

{



//Damage (gameObject);

}

// Use this for initialization

void Start ()

{



}



// Update is called once per frame

void Update ()

{



}

}



}

You can always add a collider trigger to your arrow object prefab and try using this

Trigger particle/Damage on hit

then just add the above script to your arrow prefab as well.

allows you to damage player and create a VFX upon hit as well.

if you truly need something to work in your own script, I can write something up for you...

should it trigger at

HitMe : MonoBehaviour?

or

public void BlowMeUp ()

 ?

THAT WORKS PERFECTLY!!! I can share what I have, It is essentially a weapon which fires a flaming arrow. It has prediction logic in it as well. Also, it is using another unity asset package. Fire Arrows - Unity Asset Package

Great to hear!
as to whether or not you would like to share your work is entirely up to you It sounds really neat I must say.
but again, your choice.

we all just like to help each other out around here.

sharing is caring. And I care.
Will post an android APK if anyone wants to see it. It is over 500 meg right now, multiple scenes and about 60 characters. It is rough, but 50 percent there.

I have some suggestions for your outstanding product, that will possibly help others.

We would love to see your project projectonegames, please feel free to post on our W.I.P section whenever you feel it's ready to show

Do you know if I referring to the enemy health the correct way?
I want to damage the enemy with this flaming arrow.
But when I use the script for "Enemy" I get this:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
DamageCollider.OnTriggerEnter (UnityEngine.Collider other) (at Assets/DamageCollider.cs:26)
And the damage does not register.

I was looking for something to reuse, but I am coming up short. Do you have any ideas, maybe?


using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Invector.CharacterController;
using Invector;

public class DamageCollider : MonoBehaviour
{

public GameObject ParticlePrefab; // particle prefab we want to create
public Vector3 ParticleOffset = new Vector3(-1f, 1f, 0f); // offset for particle, leave as is for it to show at players head level
private bool DoOnce = false; // a bool to keep trigger from repeating more than once
public bool CauseDamage = true; // check true if we want damage applied as well/ leave false if no damage is to be taken
public int DamageAmount; // If above true, how much damage is taken.

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
// check if we are our player,
// if (other.gameObject.tag == "Enemy" || other.gameObject.tag == "Player" || other.gameObject.tag == "CompanionAI")
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Enemy")
{
if (DoOnce == false) // hasnt triggered yet
{
PlayParticleAtLocation(); // Play Particle
//if (CauseDamage == true)// if we want damage to occur
{
other.GetComponent<vThirdPersonController>().currentHealth = other.GetComponent<vThirdPersonController>().currentHealth + -DamageAmount; // adjust players health for damage
}
DoOnce = true; // lock trigger to not happen again till exit collider
}
}

if (other.gameObject.tag == "Enemy")
{
if (DoOnce == false) // hasnt triggered yet
{
PlayParticleAtLocation(); // Play Particle
// if (CauseDamage == true)// if we want damage to occur
{
other.GetComponent<vThirdPersonController>().currentHealth = other.GetComponent<vThirdPersonController>().currentHealth + -DamageAmount; // adjust players health for damage
}
DoOnce = true; // lock trigger to not happen again till exit collider
}
}
}

void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
{
// check if we are our player
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Enemy")
{
if (DoOnce == true)
{
DoOnce = false; // reset bool to false so we can retrigger event again
}
}
}


public void PlayParticleAtLocation() // custom function for instantiating prefab
{
Instantiate(ParticlePrefab, transform.position + ParticleOffset, Quaternion.identity);
// Add other code here, if you want to add to it, sound perhaps, etc...
}
}

[jgiroux]

instead of

other.gameObject.tag

try replacing all lines with


other.transform.tag

my guess is whatever is triggering the collider doesn't have the TAG set, maybe like the leg collider or something/

using transform should work, as it will grab the top most layer of the game object I believe.

let me know if that worked for you/

Did it work? I'm curious, and I'm sure the flaming arrows look cool
