This is the stepping stone for scenarios where we want to have control over gravity-reliant objects, such as balls and grenades, so we can then predict the projectile's landing spot, or be able to effectively shoot a projectile at a given target.
- Create the
Projectileclass along with its member variables to handle the physics:using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; public class Projectile : MonoBehaviour { private bool set = false; private Vector3 firePos; private Vector3 direction; private float speed; private float timeElapsed; } - Define the
Updatefunction:void Update () { if (!set) return; timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime; transform.position = firePos + direction * speed * timeElapsed; transform.position += Physics.gravity * (timeElapsed * timeElapsed) / 2.0f; // extra validation for cleaning the scene if (transform.position.y < -1.0f) Destroy(this.gameObject);// or set = false; and hide it } - Finally, implement the
Setfunction in order to fire the game object (for example, calling it after it is instantiated in the scene):public void Set (Vector3 firePos, Vector3 direction, float speed) { this.firePos = firePos; this.direction = direction.normalized; this.speed = speed; transform.position = firePos; set = true; }
We could also take another approach: implementing public properties in the script or declaring member variables as public and, instead of calling the Set function, having the script disabled by default in the prefab and enabling it after all the properties have been set. That way, we could easily apply the object pool pattern.
