Question by DimitriUK · Apr 30, 2015 at 04:59 PM · javascriptcollisionphysicsraycastterrain

Raycast to Terrain (Conditional Statements)

I have been trying to get my helicopter's raycast line to collide with the terrain so that when the line collides with the terrain, somet$$anonymous$$ng happens. For now I just put print for testing/debugging purposes.

I do not have a lot of experience with t$$anonymous$$s Ray-casting business. What am I doing wrong?

Here is my code:

 #pragma strict
 
 public var Player : GameObject;
 public var Follow : GameObject;
 public var terrain : Terrain;    
 
  
 
     function Update () {
     
     var $$anonymous$$t : RaycastHit;
       Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, transform.up * 3, Color.red);
       
       
     if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.up, $$anonymous$$t, 3)) {
     if($$anonymous$$t.collider.gameObject == terrain){  
     
     print("You $$anonymous$$t the Terrain.");
     
     }
     }
     }

I don't understand how the Javascript side works, but it looks like you have not assigned your terrain variable.

In C# I would have to do somet$$anonymous$$ng like:

GameObject Terrain = GameObject.Find("Terrain");

Right now it appears that your code is looking for a gameobject that you have called "terrain" but it still does not know if you want a specific gameobject called Terrain.
