I am working on a project for school where I need to make at least two interactive objects in my scene. I had an idea for floating lanterns that start to float upwards when the character touches it. I just learned the very basics of scripting this week and really need some help with this one. I am really lost! Please help!
Put this script on the lantern.
public GameObject player;
public bool fly;
float high;
float speed;
float dist;
void Start () {
// max height is here
high = transform.position.y+8f;
//this is the trigger distance. change it how you like
dist = 2.5f;
// this is the speed
speed = 5f;
player = GameObject.Find ("name of player object");
}
void Update () {
if (Vector3.Distance (player.transform.position, transform.position) < dist) {
fly = true;
}
if (fly) {
if(transform.position.y<high){
Vector3 v = new Vector3(0, speed*Time.deltaTime,0);
// you could also use the v variable to add to
// the velocity instead of this next line
// but i just did this to get you moving
transform.position=transform.position+v;
}}
}
