Question by Chris12345 · Jun 23, 2012 at 02:30 PM · gameobjecttransform

How can i have it so i can drag and Game object from the hierarchy to the Inspector view user target?

How do i make this use a game object, instead of the Transform for the target? thanks for the help.

 #pragma strict

 var target : Transform;
 var smoothTime = 0.3;
 private var thisTransform : Transform;
 private var velocity : Vector3;
 var offsetAmountx : float = 10.00;
 var offsetAmounty : float = 10.00;
 function Start()
 {
 thisTransform = transform;
 }

 function Update()
 {
      thisTransform.position.x = Mathf.SmoothDamp( thisTransform.position.x, 
    target.position.x +offsetAmountx,velocity.x, smoothTime);
    thisTransform.position.y = Mathf.SmoothDamp( thisTransform.position.y, 
    target.position.y +offsetAmounty,velocity.y, smoothTime);
 }

Basically you'd use target.transform instead of target, since now target is a GameObject:

pragma strict

 public var target: GameObject;
 var smoothTime = 0.3;
 private var thisTransform: Transform;
 private var velocity : Vector3;
 var offsetAmountx : float = 10.00;
 var offsetAmounty : float = 10.00;
 
 function Start()
 {
  thisTransform = transform;
 }
 
 function Update()
 {
    var x : float =  Mathf.SmoothDamp(thisTransform.position.x, 
               target.transform.position.x +offsetAmountx,velocity.x, smoothTime);
    var y : float =  Mathf.SmoothDamp( thisTransform.position.y, 
    target.transform.position.y +offsetAmounty,velocity.y, smoothTime);
 
     var newPos : Vector3 = Vector3(x, y, thisTransform.position.z);
     thisTransform.position = newPos;
 }

It should. The var is public, the type is explicit.
