I am a freshman design student and they've asked us to create a game on unity3D without much training on it so needless to say I don't know much except for the super basic stuff. I don't know anything about c# and I've been having an issue making a gameobject teleport. I've spent 6 hours searching for a solution online and the only conclusion I got to was that my object is probably having issues teleporting because of the way I am controlling it - something to do with the controller remembering the last position before the teleport and returning to it. I have no idea how to fix it though. So this is what my scene looks like: I have a sphere as my character, I move it to this other object that has a collider as trigger which then teleports my sphere to a different point (black object) on the terrain. As soon as my object reaches there, it starts sliding back to the point where the teleport happened. I even tried edit > project settings > physics > auto sync transforms as many suggested that and it worked for them.
This is the code by which I control my player:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class MyPlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 1;
public float spacing = 1;
private Vector3 pos;
// Use this for initialization
void Awake()
{
pos = transform.position;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W))
pos.x += spacing;
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S))
pos.x -= spacing;
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
pos.z -= spacing;
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
pos.z += spacing;
transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, pos, speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
and I also have a camera that follows the sphere using this code
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class CompleteCameraController : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject player; //Public variable to store a reference to the player game object
private Vector3 offset; //Private variable to store the offset distance between the player and camera
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
//Calculate and store the offset value by getting the distance between the player's position and camera's position.
offset = transform.position - player.transform.position;
}
// LateUpdate is called after Update each frame
void LateUpdate ()
{
// Set the position of the camera's transform to be the same as the player's, but offset by the calculated offset distance.
transform.position = player.transform.position + offset;
}
}
and I have another code on the camera that makes me be able to look around using my mouse
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class FlyCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
/*

Converted to C# 27-02-13 - no credit wanted.
Simple flycam I made, since I couldn't find any others made public.
Made simple to use (drag and drop, done) for regular keyboard layout
wasd : basic movement
shift : Makes camera accelerate
space : Moves camera on X and Z axis only. So camera doesn't gain any height*/
float mainSpeed = 700.0f; //regular speed
float shiftAdd = 950.0f; //multiplied by how long shift is held. Basically running
float maxShift = 2000.0f; //Maximum speed when holdin gshift
float camSens = 0.25f; //How sensitive it with mouse
private Vector3 lastMouse = new Vector3(255, 255, 255); //kind of in the middle of the screen, rather than at the top (play)
private float totalRun = 1.0f;
void Update()
{
lastMouse = Input.mousePosition - lastMouse;
lastMouse = new Vector3(-lastMouse.y * camSens, lastMouse.x * camSens, 0);
lastMouse = new Vector3(transform.eulerAngles.x + lastMouse.x, transform.eulerAngles.y + lastMouse.y, 0);
transform.eulerAngles = lastMouse;
lastMouse = Input.mousePosition;
//Mouse camera angle done.
//Keyboard commands
float f = 0.0f;
Vector3 p = GetBaseInput();
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift))
{
totalRun += Time.deltaTime;
p = p * totalRun * shiftAdd;
p.x = Mathf.Clamp(p.x, -maxShift, maxShift);
p.y = Mathf.Clamp(p.y, -maxShift, maxShift);
p.z = Mathf.Clamp(p.z, -maxShift, maxShift);
}
else
{
totalRun = Mathf.Clamp(totalRun * 0.5f, 1f, 1000f);
p = p * mainSpeed;
}
p = p * Time.deltaTime;
Vector3 newPosition = transform.position;
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
{ //If player wants to move on X and Z axis only
transform.Translate(p);
newPosition.x = transform.position.x;
newPosition.z = transform.position.z;
transform.position = newPosition;
}
else
{
transform.Translate(p);
}
}
private Vector3 GetBaseInput()
{ //returns the basic values, if it's 0 than it's not active.
Vector3 p_Velocity = new Vector3();
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
{
p_Velocity += new Vector3(0, 0, 1);
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
{
p_Velocity += new Vector3(0, 0, -1);
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
{
p_Velocity += new Vector3(-1, 0, 0);
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
{
p_Velocity += new Vector3(1, 0, 0);
}
return p_Velocity;
}
}
Please let me know if there's a specific part of my code that I need to edit to resolve this or alternatively if you have a different code that won't give me this issue, that would make my life so much easier. If I need to edit something or you're sharing a code, please respond with the complete (corrected) code because otherwise I will just be even more confused.
I know this is a super long post and I am sorry but I am really desperate. It's been really hard studying online and basically having to teach myself all of this. This is for a final project so I will really appreciate any help you can throw my way. Thank you for reading and thanks for any help in advance.
EDIT: The teleport code is executing fine because I do teleport to the chosen location, I just end up sliding back to the point which I teleported from.
This is the teleporting code I am using.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Teleport : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject ui;
public GameObject objToTP;
public Transform tpLoc;
void Start()
{
ui.SetActive(false);
}
void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
{
ui.SetActive(true);
if ((other.gameObject.tag == "Player") && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
{
objToTP.transform.position = tpLoc.transform.position;
}
}
void OnTriggerExit()
{
ui.SetActive(false);
}
}
