Problems with the animated object related to the camera movement...

[jorgon]

Hi!.

I need to create an animated object (with iTween) which must move with the First Person Controller in front of the camera.

I instantiate it and starts to move according with the iTween parameters I gave it but when it’s instantiated my object stays in the initial creation position and can rotate as I do with my mouse with my camera but can’t move “with me” as I do when I press the “W”, “A” “D” or “S” keys for movement within the First Person Controller builtin.

I attatched my script for instancing my animated object to a EmptyGameObject already attatched to the Main Camera component of my First Person Controller…So…I supposed that my new instantiated object would heritage not only the rotation movement of my eyes/look, my translation movement too.

The final effect is that I instantiate the object, and the object doesn’t move but I can rotate it as I rotate my look…

What is happenning?.

Thank you very much.

Let me post my simple code:

var mensaje:GameObject;

var posicion_mensaje: Transform;

private var activate_blue:boolean=false;

function Update() 

{ 

 if (Contador_global.activate_blue==true)

    {

    print("bien");

    var go=Instantiate(mensaje, transform.position, transform.rotation);    

    //go.velocity=transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward * 10);  

    Contador_global.activate_blue=false;

    Destroy(go,2);

    }

    else

    {

    print("mal");

    }

}

What should I modify in order to get the desired result?. This script is attatched to an EmptyObject child of the Main camera in my First Person Controller which is separated 1m from the camera . I've dragged the GamObject from my prefabs folder and I've dragged as position (posicion_mensaje) of the message (mensaje) the EmptyObject.

Thank you in advance.

Let me auto-answer :

I’ve solved partially my problem. Now the animated prefab follows me in front of me, as I desired…But the problem now is that the height in its related position to the camera is not reseted or still remains the last height of the last instance or it’s calculated in a wrong way…

Take a look,only with this line after the instance created:

Taken from(This will could help you a lot!!) :

Transform.parent

go.transform.parent= Camera.main.transform; 

And the complete code:

var mensaje:GameObject;

var posicion_mensaje: Transform;

private var activate_blue:boolean=false;
        
function Update() 

{ 
if (Contador_global.activate_blue==true)
{

    print("bien");

    var go=Instantiate(mensaje, transform.position, transform.rotation);    

    go.transform.parent= Camera.main.transform; 

    //go.velocity=transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward * 10);  

    Contador_global.activate_blue=false;

    Destroy(go,2);

}

else

    {

    print("mal");

    }

}

I don’t know what to do…What should you do in order to solve this detail?.

Only one step more, only one more…
