Getting animation on attack script.

Questions & Answers
1

Hi guys i have bin stuck on his for a few weeks and cant seem to get round it. I have my attack script and cant seem to get the attack animation in place so it doesn’t conflict with my other animations and only runs when I am in range. i will post my script and any hints and tips would be really appreciated

var target : GameObject;
var attackTimer : float;
var coolDown : float;


function Start()
{
	attackTimer = 0.0;
	coolDown = 1.5;
}

function Timer ()
{
	if(attackTimer > 0)
		attackTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
	if(attackTimer < 0)
		attackTimer = 0;
		
	
	if(attackTimer == 0)
	{
		Attack();
		attackTimer = coolDown;
	}

}

function Attack()
{
	var distance = Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, transform.position);
	var dir : Vector3 = (target.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;
	var direction = Vector3.Dot(dir, transform.forward);
	
	Debug.Log(direction);
	
	if(distance <= 2.5 && direction > 0.3)
	{
		var ph : PlayerHealth = target.GetComponent("PlayerHealth");
		ph.AdjustCurrentHealth(-10);
	}
}

I can’t help you correct the animation code if you remove it…

Generally speaking, once the player is within whatever distance you want, simply use animation.Play(). Read the animation documentation for specifics.

If you don’t know how to calculate the distance between 2 objects, see here.
