auto select enemys

[system]

Hello im trying to make a game that has a fighting system like oblivion. I am trying to make it so any enemy within a certain distance of the player looses health i DON'T want it to be like most mmorpg's where they target enemys i want it to be base on skill. Heres my script for PlayerAttack:

var target : GameObject;
var attackTimer : float;
var coolDown : float;
var damage : float = 10;

// Use this for initialization
function Start () {
    attackTimer = 0;
    coolDown = 1.0f;

}

// Update is called once per frame
function Update () {
    if(attackTimer > 0)
        attackTimer -= Time.deltaTime;

    if (attackTimer < 0)
        attackTimer = 0;
    if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.F)) {
        if(attackTimer == 0){
            Attack();
            attackTimer = coolDown;
        }
    }
}
function Attack() {
    var distance = Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, transform.position);

    var direction = Vector3.Dot((target.transform.position - transform.position).normalized, transform.forward);

    Debug.Log(direction);

    if(distance < 3) {
        if(direction > 0) {
            target.GetComponent(EnemyHealth).AddjustCurrentHealth(-damage);
        }
    }
}

heres my EnemyHealth script:

var curHealth : float = 20;
var maxHealth : float = 20;

function Update () {
    AddjustCurrentHealth(0);

}

function AddjustCurrentHealth(adj) {
    curHealth += adj;

    if(curHealth < 0)
        curHealth = 0;

    if (curHealth > maxHealth)
        curHealth = maxHealth;

    if(maxHealth < 1)
        maxHealth = 1;

    if(curHealth < 1) { //die
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}

the scripts currently work fine but I want it to be adapted to muliple enemys. I want it to find `GameObject.tag == "Enemy";` within a distance of 3 or something and is in the direction im facing or something along those lines. Can someone please help thanks.

What you want to do is set the tag "Enemy" for all your enemies.

In your PlayerAttack you find all gameobjects with the tag enemy (Save them into an array), then you find the distance between your player and your enemies (Save the distance in the array above as well).

Select the enemy who has the lowest distance and attack him.

Look at the second example on this page of the scripting reference here: http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag.html

It contains an example of a function to return the closest enemy. You can then just use this to find the closest enemy and decrease his health etc...

Here I figured it out thanks for your help.

Targeting Script:

var target = closest;
var closest : GameObject;

function Update(){
    target = closest;
    // Find all game objects with tag Enemy
    var enemies : GameObject[];
    enemies = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Enemy"); 
    var distance = Mathf.Infinity; 
    var position = transform.position; 
    // Iterate through them and find the closest one
    for (var enemy : GameObject in enemies)  { 
        var diff = (enemy.transform.position - transform.position);
        var curDistance = diff.sqrMagnitude; 
        if (curDistance < distance) { 
            closest = enemy; 
            distance = curDistance;
        } 
    }
    return closest;
}

PlayerAttack Script

var target : GameObject;
var attackTimer : float;
var coolDown : float;
var damage : float = 10;

// Use this for initialization
function Start () {
    attackTimer = 0;
    coolDown = 1.0f;

}

// Update is called once per frame
function Update () {
    target = GetComponent(Targeting).target;

    if(attackTimer > 0)
        attackTimer -= Time.deltaTime;

    if (attackTimer < 0)
        attackTimer = 0;
    if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.F)) {
        if(attackTimer == 0){
            Attack();
            attackTimer = coolDown;
        }
    }
}
function Attack() {
    var distance = Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, transform.position);

    var direction = Vector3.Dot((target.transform.position - transform.position).normalized, transform.forward);

    Debug.Log(direction);

    if(distance < 3) {
        if(direction > 0) {
            target.GetComponent(EnemyHealth).AddjustCurrentHealth(-damage);
        }
    }
}
