Question
I had an Idea to make a game with a "spider-man" like mechanic you play as a spider and you use your string to attach on to other points I have tried to make a prototype but it just does not seem to work so I was hoping for some ideas from you guys.I should add that I am a beginner
Here is my code:
It instantiates a ray and checks for collision and then it takes a point for the collision after that I make a line connecting from the player to the poiint clicked but as you can see it just doesn’t seem to work.
(Rays and lines do not match up)
Thank you in advance ! I am going to sleep so it will be 8 hours before I reply sorry
var max_distance = 500
func shoot_ray(target_pos: Vector2):
var attach_point
var ray = RayCast2D.new()
ray.enabled = true
add_child(ray)
ray.position = string.position
ray.target_position = (target_pos - global_position).normalized() * max_distance
ray.add_exception(self) # optional, so the ray doesn’t hit the player
ray.force_raycast_update()
if ray.is_colliding():
attach_point = ray.get_collision_point()
print("Attach point:", attach_point)
return attach_point
ray.queue_free()
if not ray.is_colliding():
ray.queue_free()
return Vector2.ZERO
func line_position(x):
var line = Line2D.new()
add_child(line)
print("line")
line.width = 10
line.add_point(string.position)
line.add_point(x)
func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
if event.is_action_pressed("Left_Click"):
var pos = get_global_mouse_position()
select.position = pos
print(pos)
var attach_point = shoot_ray(pos)
line_position(attach_point)
And node structure
