Select an Enemy C#

system · 2011-07-23T04:30:22.000Z

Is it possible to use a RayCast (idk know what a raycast is) to select an enemy? Like if i have a variable lets say

public Transform EnemySelected;

And i wanted it if you clicked a object that had the script NPC_AI.cs that this variable would equal that enemy? If it is possible how could i go upon doing this?

EDIT:

Sorry i forgot to include this i have a tag also set up if its an enemy

Also, the Unity documentation is your friend.

You can get the transform of an object that was hit with your raycast…
