Attack Trigger

i am getting an issue where i cant get my enemy to play the attack animation.

I am following a tutorial which said to me that this may happen but in no way explained how to fix it.

to me it seems it just continues with the walk animation.

I have added a cylinder around my FP controler which is set to be a trigger.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class SpiderAI : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public GameObject ThePlayer;
8.     public float TargetDistance;
9.     public float AllowedRange = 30;
10.     public GameObject TheEnemy;
11.     public float EnemySpeed;
12.     public int AttackTrigger;
13.     public RaycastHit Shot;
14.  
15.     void Update()
16.     {
17.         transform.LookAt(ThePlayer.transform);
18.         if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), out Shot))
19.         {
20.             TargetDistance = Shot.distance;
21.             if (TargetDistance <= AllowedRange)
22.             {
23.                 EnemySpeed = 0.05f;
24.                 if (AttackTrigger == 0)
25.                 {
26.                     TheEnemy.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("walk");
27.                     transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, ThePlayer.transform.position, EnemySpeed);
28.                 }
29.             }
30.             else
31.             {
32.                 EnemySpeed = 0;
33.                 TheEnemy.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("idle");
34.             }
35.         }
36.         if (AttackTrigger == 1)
37.         {
38.             EnemySpeed = 0;
39.             TheEnemy.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("attack");
40.         }
41.     }
42.     void OnTriggerEnter()
43.     {
44.         AttackTrigger = 1;
45.     }
46.  
47.     void OnTriggerExit()
48.     {
49.         AttackTrigger = 0;
50.     }
51. }

 

On trigger
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider.OnTriggerEnter.html
And for animation best with a animator
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-AnimatorController.html

 

Thanks , is this the only way using the Animator its just every video i have watched to do with animation and unity they all say disable animator and use animation for better control?

 

It depend on your project .

Thanks for the links, my issue is i'm not getting a collision with the enemy i have followed the setup on the first link and i still don't get any collision detection

 

Did

Did you change your code if you don't mind I can have a look

 

And do player and the enemy both have a collider and 1 of them with a rigibody
And which one the the trigger collider

 

I have got it the enemy didn't have a rigid body assigned to it. thanks this has been really helpful!!!

 

My updated code as well thanks

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class SpiderAI : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public GameObject ThePlayer;
8.     public float TargetDistance;
9.     public float AllowedRange = 30;
10.     public GameObject TheEnemy;
11.     public float EnemySpeed;
12.     public int AttackTrigger;
13.     public RaycastHit Shot;
14.  
15.     void Update()
16.     {
17.         transform.LookAt(ThePlayer.transform);
18.         if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), out Shot))
19.         {
20.             TargetDistance = Shot.distance;
21.             if (TargetDistance <= AllowedRange)
22.             {
23.                 EnemySpeed = 0.05f;
24.                 if (AttackTrigger == 0)
25.                 {
26.                     TheEnemy.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("walk");
27.                     transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, ThePlayer.transform.position, EnemySpeed);
28.                 }
29.             }
30.             else
31.             {
32.                 EnemySpeed = 0;
33.                 TheEnemy.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("idle");
34.             }
35.         }
36.         if (AttackTrigger == 1)
37.         {
38.             EnemySpeed = 0;
39.             TheEnemy.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("attack");
40.         }
41.     }
42.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
43.     {
44.         AttackTrigger = 1;
45.         Debug.Log("I hit you");
46.     }
47.  
48.     void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
49.     {
50.         AttackTrigger = 0;
51.     }
52. }

 

And on trigger might as well check which collider been trigger..cause it could been trigger by other things too

 

i now have the problem that my damage dealt script isn't actually dealing damage using debug.log i can see it now detects the sword swing collision as also the enemy collision.

 

This is my damage script

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class InflictDamage : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public int DamageDealt = 5;
8.     public float TargetDistance;
9.     public float AllowedRange = 2.7f;
10.  
11.     // Update is called once per frame
12.     void Update()
13.     {
14.         if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
15.         {
16.             RaycastHit hit;
17.             if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward), out hit))
18.             {
19.                 TargetDistance = hit.distance;
20.                 if (TargetDistance <= AllowedRange)
21.                 {
22.                     Debug.Log("Take 5 Damage");
23.                     hit.transform.SendMessage("DeductPoints", DamageDealt, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
24.                 }
25.             }
26.         }
27.     }
28.  
29. }

This is the enemy script.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class SpiderEnemy : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public int EnemyHealth = 10;
8.     public GameObject TheSpider;
9.     public int SpiderStatus;
10.     public int BaseXP = 10;
11.     public int CalculatedXP;
12.     public SpiderAI SpiderAIScript;
13.  
14.     void start()
15.     {
16.         SpiderAIScript = GetComponent<SpiderAI>();
17.     }
18.  
19.     void DeductPoints (int DamageAmount)
20.     {
21.         EnemyHealth -= DamageAmount;
22.     }
23.  
24.     // Update is called once per frame
25.     void Update()
26.     {
27.        
28.         if (EnemyHealth <= 0 ){
29.             if (SpiderStatus == 0)
30.             {
31.  
32.                 StartCoroutine(DeathSpider());
33.  
34.             }
35.         }
36.     }
37.  
38.     IEnumerator DeathSpider()
39.     {
40.         SpiderAIScript.enabled = false;
41.         SpiderStatus = 6;
42.         CalculatedXP = BaseXP * GlobalLevel.CurrentLevel;
43.         GlobalXP.CurrentXP += CalculatedXP;
44.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.8f);
45.         TheSpider.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("die");
46.     }
47. }
48.  

 

Code (CSharp):

1. void DeductPoints (int DamageAmount)
2.     {
3.         EnemyHealth -= DamageAmount;
4.         if (EnemyHealth <= 0 ){
5.             if (SpiderStatus == 0)
6.             {
7.                 StartCoroutine(DeathSpider());
8.             }
9. }
10.        

then you won't have to check health on every frame . as for the damagescript best to check what have you hit

 

Okay thanks for all your help it is now working it walks it attacks and it dies

 

Nice
