Question by Relativ9 · Jul 19, 2018 at 11:09 PM · canvasvelocityimagecollider2dmouseclick

Need help adding velocity to object when it's clicked (2D image).

Hi folks, any help would be greatly appriciated.

So I'm trying to build a simple mechanic where a bar (canvas image) bounces between two walls and you can click the bar (while it's moving) to increase its velocity. I've got the bouncing working and can give it an initial velocity with one click anywhere on the screen. But I need to have it only react when I actually hit the bar and I want the velocity to be additive so that each time I click it goes faster and faster.

Here's the code I've got so far (attached to the bar):

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class bounce : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public GameObject bouncer;
     public Rigidbody2D rb2d;
 
     public bool headingleft = false;
     public float momentum;
 
     public void tapBounce () {
 
         if (headingleft == false) {
             this.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().velocity = new Vector2 (momentum, 0f);
         } else if (headingleft == true) {
             this.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().velocity = new Vector2 (-momentum, 0f);
         }
     }
 
     void OnCollisionEnter2D (Collision2D other) {
 
         if (other.gameObject.tag == "right") {
         
             headingleft = true;
         } else if (other.gameObject.tag == "left") {
             headingleft = false;
         }
     
     }
       
 
     void Awake () {
         rb2d = bouncer.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ();
     }
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
 
         momentum = 100f;
 
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
 
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
 
             tapBounce ();
         }
 
     }
 }

PS: I'm using a Physics Material 2D for the bounciness.

Add Collider to the bar. Use function OnMouseDown on your script.
