Question How to attach a ray cast hit point to a hit object?

Hi I am working on a project where I have cubes floating around the scene, I have used a YouTube tutorial to make a grappling hook script that shoots out a ray cast to create a grapple point which works well for stationary objects but when shooting a moving object the object moves away leaving the grapple point floating in the air.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how I would attach the result of the ray cast hit to the GameObject it collides with so the grapple point stays with the moving cube.

Thanks,
Joe

 

If it has to be a coordinate only, you could probably do some other trickery to apply the same movement as the object you attached to. However, why not simply create a gameobject at that location. You can now easily make it the child of the hit object and use its world position as anchor position for your grapple. Now if the parent moves, your attachment point moves too.

 

Hey thanks for the reply I will give that a go tonight and see if it works.
