Question by narwhals1021 · Mar 19, 2018 at 10:21 PM · movementmovement scriptmovetowards

Make an object move forward and back in one click.,Moving an object forward and back to it's original place with one click.

Sorry if this is missing some details, I typed it out and it got deleted and now I don't remember word for word what I wrote.

So I am working on my first actual game and am trying to make an object move toward the mouse, maybe 0.5 - 1 units, and then go back to default position. For this Idea I believe GetMouseButtonDown and GetMouseButtonUp will work fine.

I have a script that teleports the object to mouse but that isn't what I want as I only want it to go a small distance from the player (like a stabbing animation). and I also want to ignore the Y axis and just move it along the X and Z axis.

This script is made from a combination of what I found online and my direction/looking script:

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

public class ClickAttack : MonoBehaviour {

 Vector3 newPosition;
 void Start () {
     newPosition = transform.position;
 }
 void Update()
 {
     if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
     {
         RaycastHit hit;
         Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
         if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
         {
             newPosition = hit.point;
             transform.position = newPosition;
         }
     }
 }

}

P.S. I am using Unity 2017.3.0 because I started this game in that version and didn't want to update and lose anything, please also let me know if I should update before I am finished.
