Tell the distance of prefab clones when they stop moving

[Julian_Spring]

Hi

So when you throw the objects I want to get the distance between them, after they stop moving.

var projectile : Transform;
var projectile2 : Transform;
var projectile3 : Transform;

var object1 : GameObject;
var object2 : GameObject;
var object3 : GameObject;

var notMoving = false;
var notMoving2 = false;
var notMoving3 = false;



function Awake(){

}
 
function Update () {

    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) {
 
    	var clone : Transform;
    	var clone2 : Transform;
    	var clone3 : Transform;
   
    	clone = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
    	clone2 = Instantiate(projectile2, transform.position, transform.rotation);
   	 	clone3 = Instantiate(projectile2, transform.position, transform.rotation);
 
   	 	// Add force to the cloned object in the object's forward direction
   	 	clone.rigidbody.AddForce(clone.transform.forward * 500);
    	clone2.rigidbody.AddForce(clone.transform.forward * 450);
    	clone3.rigidbody.AddForce(clone.transform.forward * 400);
    	
    	var distance = Vector3.Magnitude(object1.transform.position - object2.transform.position);
			Debug.Log(distance);

	}
}

It’s easier to maintain if you throw them into an array and break it out into functions so you can yield. Here’s a conceptual way of solving it, you would have to adapt it to your needs. I’ve tried to keep it as semantic as I can in terms of variable- and function names. You would probably want an offset from where they spawn or even perhaps a sequence (not sure what your implementation of this is), but it’s way easier when being able to yield and loop through an array.

var projectiles : GameObject[]; // Prefabs of projectiles

private var projectileTransforms : Transform[];
private var projectileRigidbodies : Rigidbody[];
private var isShot : boolean = false;

private var thisTransform : Transform;

function Start () {
	// Cache all component (mobile-friendly)
	thisTransform = transform;
	projectileTransforms = new Transform[projectiles.Length];
	projectileRigidbodies = new Rigidbody[projectiles.Length];
	for (var i = 0; i<projectiles.Length; i++) {
		var clone : GameObject = Instantiate(projectiles*, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);*

_ projectileTransforms = clone.transform;_
_ projectileRigidbodies = clone.rigidbody;
* }
}*_

function Update () {
* // Shoot if Fire1 and not previously has shot*
* if (Input.GetButtonDown(“Fire1”) && !isShot)*
* ShootProjectiles();*
}

function ShootProjectiles () {
* isShot = true;*
* var tmpForce : float = 500;*

* // Shoot out projectiles*
* for (var i = 0; i<projectiles.Length; i++) {*
_ projectileTransforms*.position = thisTransform.position;
projectileRigidbodies.AddForce(projectileTransforms.forwardtmpForce);
* tmpForce-=50;
}*_

* // Wait while they move*
* while (HasMovement(projectileRigidbodies))*
* yield;*

* // Check distance once they’ve stopped*
* CheckDistance(projectileTransforms);*
}

function HasMovement (objs : Rigidbody[]) : boolean {
* for (var obj : Rigidbody in objs)*
* if (obj.velocity!=Vector3.zero)*
* return true;*
* return false;*
}

function CheckDistance (objs : Transform[]) {
* for (var i = 0; i<objs.Length; i++)*
* for (var y = 0; y<objs.Length; y++)*
* if (i!=y)*
_ Debug.Log(Vector3.Distance(objs*.position, objs[y].position));
}*
Good luck!_
