Cam Checker.

Hi, I'm making a 2D Dungeon crawler and I'm trying to make it so that when my ally is off screen, it will teleport to the players position.

what actually happens, is that the ally teleports to the player and they both start speeding off to the right, regardless of whether or not the ally is off screen.

here's the relevant code I have. (the code is attached to the camera.)

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.         GameObject AllyChecker = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Ally");
3.  
4.         if (AllyChecker != null)
5.         {
6.             Collider2D[] AllyCamChecker = Physics2D.OverlapBoxAll(CamCenter.position, size, AllyLayer);
7.  
8.  
9.  
10.             for (int i = 0; i < AllyCamChecker.Length; i++)
11.             {
12.                 if(AllyCamChecker[i] == Ally)
13.                 {
14.                     AllyOnCamChecker = true;
15.                 }
16.             }
17.  
18.             AllyOnCam = AllyOnCamChecker;
19.  
20.             if (AllyOnCam == false)
21.             {
22.                 Ally.transform.position = Player.transform.position;
23.             }
24.  
25.             AllyOnCamChecker = false;
26.         }
27.

Didn't you have pretty much similar thread already?

Anyway, it's hard to say, it could be anything, this code doesn't tell anything about your setup.

If you for some reason move your companion exactly to same spot, I could think your characters might just have colliders.

 

i agree, two units with colliders flying off into the sunset sounds like you have them both bouncing off each other. you could use instead of its actually location
Player.Collider.ClosestPoint(Ally.transform.position)

 

@DownER149

I don't think there is ClosestPoint for Physics2D. Haven't used it, but just checked this out of curiosity.

 

yeah your right, my mistaken... its bounds.closestpoint(). i used it awhile ago but scrapped it because it would only work when outside of the collider,

 

so is it "Player.Collider.bounds.closestpoint()"?

 

I did have a similar thread already, but i thought id make a new one with an update on what i currently had.

 

correct

 

its says that GameObject doesn't have a definition for Collider.

am i missing a using directive? I'm currently using System.Collections, System.Collections.Generic, System.Linq, and UnityEngine.

 

in the editor add a boxCollider2D to the player gameobject(if it doesnt already have one)
if not
on a script that the player game object has put this

Code (CSharp):

1. public BoxCollider2d Collider;
2.  
3. Start(){
4. Collider = getComponent<BoxCollider2d();
5. }
6.  

 

yeah, its still saying that GameObject Doesnt Have A definition for Collider. I made sure it was public. should i show the whole of my camera script?

Code (CSharp):

1. public BoxCollider2D Collider;
2.  
3.     void Start () {
4.         Collider = GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
5.     }

 

im going to unwatch this thread since ive made adjustments that would make this thread obsolete.
