sword script

hey guys i am making my game vantrask and i really need help with the sword script
all i want it to do is when it touches another object it takes health from it when its health reaches 0 the object gets changed into another object

please can you guys help me?
thank you

 

I'm going to explain to you how you should do it... you should attempt to put the code in place yourself, and if you have trouble come back.

1. Put a rigidbody and a box collider on your sword. Tick the 'IsTrigger' option
2. Repeat step one for object you want to hit.
3. Set a tag on your sword. Make it something obvious like 'Sword' for now.
4. Create a script and attach it the object you want to be hit.
5. Add a variable at the top of the script called totalhealth
6. Inside script, add an OnTriggerEnter event
7. Inside that function, check the tag of the object transform that hit it. if the tag equals sword, then reduce health.

Try get that going first..
7.

 

thanks for the help but my object still doesn't loose health all it does is to make my character jump when it hits the box with the script any ideia?

this is my script

also ridgidbody is disabled becouse if i enable it the sword goes away

 

Make sure you have the IsTrigger option ticked, otherwise they will fire off physics events, which would explain the character jumping around.

You should probably also set the sword parent to the player object

alos, code should read more like this

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. var totalhealth = 100;
4.  
5. function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider){
6. if(other.tag == "Sword"){
7. totalhealth -= 50;
8. }
9. }
10.  
11. function Update(){
12. if(totalhealth <= 0){
13. Destroy(gameObject);
14. }
15. }
16.  
17.
