Directions

Hi guys, im prototyping a click to move top down "rpg" and i would like who can i achive my animations/particle effectes to be instantiated in my player but in mouse direction, so for example if im moving right and use a spell with mouse at left side of player it turns and attack in that direction. Ty for any help/info

 

Get the position of your player, get he position of you click, subtract the 2 vectors and you got a direction and magnitude to the target.

 

I dont want to click to attack, i only want click to move, i would like to use speel in numbers 1, 2 ,3 and so on..

 

Then replace "get position of click" with "get position of mouse".

 

So and if i would like to attack in the mouse direction but distance independete, like a have a mouse 10 units but the spell need travel 5 ou 15 units, or even damage in a certain cone shape? i hv to put that information info in script attached to spell/prefab?

 

Your going to want to use:

• Input.mousePosition -- this gets the mouse x,y position on screen
• camera.WorldToScreenPoint(player.transform.position) this gets the x,y position of the player

These are in screen position where 0,0 is bottom left, and ScreenWidth,ScreenHeight is top right

So whoever has the smaller X is to the left and whoever has the smaller Y is on bottom relative to each other. Just compare their x co-ordinates to determine if you need to flip the player left/right and the Y part if you have any kind of way of pointng up/down
