Need help with a raycast!

I've been trying to make something shoot a raycast, and when it hits the player gameObject, it sets a bool called "go" to true. I can't seem to get it to work. Please help and tell me how I can do this.

 

Well, Line 3 of your code is incorrect c#. Lines 6-10 are causing an infinite loop, and the rest really does not make any sense at all.

 

What? I think you have the wrong post...

 

I think they are getting at the fact that you have provided nothing for us to work from.

If you want help with a script, then you need to show us that script - put it in a post using code tags (if you don't use code tags, then you may not get many people helping out).

However for a raycast, it should be relatively simple to do and there should even be examples in the manual for the different overload versions of the command.

But first, if you already have a script where you are trying to do the raycast, then show us that script.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. {
2.     public GameObject player;
3.  
4.     public bool facingRight;
5.     public bool go = false;
6.     public float energy;
7.     public Animator animator;
8.  
9.     public float speedSet;
10.     private float speed;
11.  
12.     private void Start()
13.     {
14.         speed = speedSet;
15.     }
16.     void Update()
17.     {
18.         if (facingRight == true)
19.         {
20.             RaycastHit2D rayInfo = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, Vector2.right, 5);
21.             if (rayInfo.collider != player)
22.             {
23.                 go = false;
24.             }
25.             else
26.             {
27.                 go = true;
28.             }
29.         }
30.         else
31.         {
32.             RaycastHit2D rayInfo = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, Vector2.left, 5);
33.             if(rayInfo.collider != player)
34.             {
35.                 go = false;
36.             }
37.             else
38.             {
39.                 go = true;
40.             }
41.         }
42.  
43.         if (go == true)
44.         {
45.             Debug.Log("hitP");
46.             animator.SetBool("SeesPlayer", true);
47.  
48.             if(energy >= 0)
49.             {
50.                 energy -= Time.deltaTime;
51.  
52.                 if(facingRight == true)
53.                 {
54.                     transform.Translate(Vector2.right * speed * Time.deltaTime);
55.                 }
56.                 else
57.                 {
58.                     transform.Translate(Vector2.left * speed * Time.deltaTime);
59.                 }
60.             }
61.             else
62.             {
63.                 Destroy(gameObject);
64.             }
65.  
66.         }
67.         else
68.         {
69.             animator.SetBool("SeesPlayer", false);
70.         }
71.     }
72. }
