Help with enemy AI

Pommpeii

I'm trying to make it so the enemy will shoot out a raycast at the player, and if the player loses too much health, he dies. I already have the ai set up, but for some reason my shooting script isn't working. I tried to modify the shooting script from Brackeys raycast shooting tutorial.

Here's my script:

using UnityEngine;

using UnityEngine.AI;

public class EnemyShoot : MonoBehaviour

{

public float damage = 5f;

public float range = 1000f;

public float fireRate = 15f;

public float fireDistance = 100f;

public GameObject enemy;

public Transform playerObject;

// Start is called before the first frame update

void Start()

{

}

// Update is called once per frame

void Update()

{

float distance = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, playerObject.transform.position);

if(distance < fireDistance)

{

Shoot();

}

else

{

}

}

void Shoot ()

{

RaycastHit hit;

if (Physics.Raycast(enemy.transform.position, playerObject.transform.position, out hit, range))

{

Player player = hit.transform.GetComponent<Player>();

if (player != null)

{

player.PlayerDamage(damage);

}

}

}

}

to get the direction from one vector to another is:

Vector A --going to--> Vector B, is Vector B --minus-- VectorA

Vector A in this case, would be: transform.position

Vector B would then be: playerObject.position

Dreek16designer

on your last few lines, change

Player player = hit.transform.GetComponent<Player>();

to

Player player = hit.GetComponent<Player>();

You don't need a transform there. Also, your firerate isn't used in your script.

In the physics.Raycast the second parameter should be a direction not a position

how do i make the firerate used?

Did what @Dreek16designer said but now i get this error in the console.

Assets/EnemyShoot.cs(42,33): error CS1061: 'RaycastHit' does not contain a definition for 'GetComponent' and no accessible extension method 'GetComponent' accepting a first argument of type 'RaycastHit' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Pommpeii

Also @JIMMY_VASHI04 how do I make it into a direction?

Pommpeii

@Mouledoux so for the going to transition i would use Vector A.Vector B?

@Mouledoux NVM it works thank you!!!!!!

Dreek16designer
