First rpg how to shoot arrows ?

[Neroner23]

Hi there. I am new to unity, so i really need help with start My question is :

i have a character with bow and arrow’s. I have animation when he shoots, but how to make the bow fly in direction ? It has to collide with object’s it hits. What should be direction ? I would really like to make a croshair in front of my character, and every script, tutorial i have seen… it’s not good enough.

Should i be working on javascript for arrow ? or make a C# file ?

Start with basic objects and play with instantiate to achieve what exactly you’re looking for.

Here is the basic Java code for instantiating an object from the object that holds this script.

Most/all of the term other users will suggest to you as solutions will be located in the Unity Script Reference. A reference, lexicon and bible. Unity - Scripting API:

Good luck and best wishes!
// Instantiate a rigidbody then set the velocity

var projectile : Rigidbody;

function Update () {
// Ctrl was pressed, launch a projectile
if (Input.GetButtonDown(“Fire1”)) {
// Instantiate the projectile at the position and rotation of this transform
var clone : Rigidbody;
clone = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);

    // Give the cloned object an initial velocity along the current 
    // object's Z axis
    clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward * 10);
}

}

//using javascript var
Crosshair:Texture; var
bullet:Transform; var mat:Material;
function crossharRed()//This tells you if the bullit will hit or not

{

if(Physics.Raycast(bullet.gameObject.transform.position,Vector3.forward, distanceOfShot))

{

mat.mainTexture= Crosshair;

}
}

function fire()

{

Instantiate(object.gameObject,object.gameObject.position,object.rotation)
}

function Update()

{

object.gameObject.transform.position.x+=50;
}

This is a basic code for what you are doing. I suggest you take a look at the Unity3d script reference if you have any questions or to trouble shoot any mistakes in the code.

function Update() {
if(Input.GetButtonDown(“Fire1”)) {
arrow.useGravity = false;
var instance : Rigidbody = Instantiate(arrow, muzzlePoint.position, Quaternion.identity);
instance.velocity = muzzlePoint.forward * 100;
}
}

Thank you guys. I will continue working on it and try out your tips.

I am not able to like your responses, how else can i say Thanks ?

Ah well one more thing. This didnt really help me much since the arrow just falls down after animating shoot…

Question : rigidbody and scripts should be " attached " to joint that holds the arrow ? ( right) not to a mesh, since it is locked after i applied skeleton on it. Arrow falls only if script is attached to joint now the mesh, not even the controler.
