I'm currently creation a game in unity were I've made it so the background and the obstacles in the game constantly "respawns" and creates a loop. Every thing was working fine until I added a second script to the obstacles to make them move vertically. After adding the script I received the error: "Cannot cast from source type to destination type".
This the script to make the objects loop (Cs):
public class BgLooper : MonoBehaviour {
int numBGPanels = 10;
float cloudMax = 2.2f;
float cloudMin = -0.2f;
void Start() {
GameObject[] clouds = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("Cloud");
foreach (GameObject cloud in clouds) {
Vector3 pos = cloud.transform.position;
pos.y = Random.Range(cloudMin, cloudMax);
cloud.transform.position = pos;
}
}
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider) {
Debug.Log ("Triggered: " + collider.name);
float widthOfBGobject = ((BoxCollider2D)collider).size.x;
Vector3 pos = collider.transform.position;
pos.x += widthOfBGobject * numBGPanels;
if (collider.tag == "Cloud") {
pos.y = Random.Range(cloudMin, cloudMax);
}
collider.transform.position = pos;
}
}
And this is the script to make the obsticales move (Js):
var maxX = 6.1;
var minX = -6.1;
var maxY = 4.2;
var minY = -4.2;
var moveSpeed = 0.3;
private var tChange: float = 0; // force new direction in the first Update
private var randomX: float;
private var randomY: float;
function Update () {
// change to random direction at random intervals
if (Time.time >= tChange){
randomX = Random.Range(-2.0,2.0); // with float parameters, a random float
randomY = Random.Range(-2.0,2.0); // between -2.0 and 2.0 is returned
// set a random interval between 0.5 and 1.5
tChange = Time.time + Random.Range(0.5,1.5);
}
transform.Translate(Vector3(randomX,randomY,0) * (moveSpeed / 15) * Time.deltaTime);
// if object reached any border, revert the appropriate direction
if (transform.position.x >= maxX || transform.position.x <= minX) {
randomX = -randomX;
}
if (transform.position.y >= maxY || transform.position.y <= minY) {
randomY = -randomY;
}
// make sure the position is inside the borders
transform.position.x = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.x, minX, maxX);
transform.position.y = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.y, minY, maxY);
}
