Door script using Raycast

Questions & Answers

Im trying to open a door using raycast from a tutorial

here are the scripts ive done so far:
interact script:
public float interactDistance = 5f;

void Update ()
{
	if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0))
		Debug.Log("Mouse button was pressed.");
    {
        Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position, transform.forward);
        RaycastHit hit;

        if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, interactDistance))
        { 
			if(hit.collider.CompareTag("Door")) //transform
			{
				hit.collider.transform.parent.GetComponent<DoorScript>().ChangeDoorState();
            }
        }
    }
}

}

Doorscript:

public bool open = false;
public float doorOpenAngle = 90f;
public float doorCloseAngle = 0f;
public float smooth = 2f; //speed door moves

void Start ()
{
	
}

public void ChangeDoorState()
{
    open = !open;
}

void Update ()
{
    if (open) // same as open == true
    {
        Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, doorOpenAngle);
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.localRotation, targetRotation, smooth * Time.deltaTime);
    }
    else
    {
        Quaternion targetRotation2 = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, doorCloseAngle);
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.localRotation, targetRotation2, smooth * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}

}

when i get to the door it wont open by clicking on left mouse button but it will suddenly swing open if i look at any of the corners of the door.

Can anyone help with this problem?

Your if conditional in line 3 only executes your logging. The raycasting part is actually executed every frame.
For conditionals, it’s either:

if(bool)
  DoStuff();

or:

if(bool)
{
  // stuff
}

Mixing the two doesn’t work. Your log call needs to be in the brackets.

Thanks for that. When i click on it now it opens and closes but only on the top and bottom of the door.
