Instantiate And move the GameObject to the click position from another position.

Questions & Answers

So basically I am trying to make a archer and want the arrow to start from archer and go anywhere the user clicks.

So like archer is standing in the bottom left corner of screen and I want a arrow to be initiated at his position and go to the place wherever user clicks with mouse or touch on the screen. I have a arrow prefab.

I am attaching this script to the archer. But there is some issue with the coordinate system … :frowning:
Please help/

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class FireArrow : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 1F;
public GameObject arrow;
GameObject go;
bool moveArrow;
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
moveArrow = false;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    Vector3 worldPos = new Vector3(0, 0);

    if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
    {
        Debug.Log("Pressed left click.");
        Vector3 mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
        mousePos.z = 0.0f;      
        worldPos = (mousePos);
        go = GameObject.Instantiate(arrow,transform.position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
        moveArrow = true;
          }

    if (moveArrow)
    {
        if (go.transform.position != worldPos)
        {
             go.transform.position =(worldPos);
            }
    }}
}

I’m doing something like that at the moment. I move the arrow with script attached to arrow itself, so I can shoot another arrow before the previous arrow has reached its target. Maybe this works for you too. I originally used to shoot arrows towards the direction I clicked but these scripts shoot the arrow exactly to the point you clicked. Also added a timer between shots. With touch devices this script shot about ten arrows whit quick tap on the screen without the timer.

I use this script on my weapon:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class FireArrow : MonoBehaviour
{
	public GameObject arrow;
	public float shootTimer = 1;
	public float timeBetweenShots = 1;

	void Update ()
	{
		shootTimer += Time.deltaTime;

		if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && shootTimer >= timeBetweenShots)
		{	
			RaycastHit hit;
			Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);

			if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
			{
				GameObject instantiatedArrow;
				instantiatedArrow = Instantiate(arrow, transform.position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
				ArrowScript arrowScript;
				arrowScript = instantiatedArrow.gameObject.GetComponent<ArrowScript>();
				arrowScript.target = hit.point;
				shootTimer = 0;
			}
		}
	}
}

And this on my arrow prefab:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ArrowScript : MonoBehaviour
{
	public Vector3 target;
	public float speed;

	void Update ()
	{
		float step = speed * Time.deltaTime;
		transform.position =  Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target, step);
	}
}
