I recently downloaded the Unity Project #1 from the new Unity Learn and was reading through the scripts. This code snippet comes from the DoneCCTVPlayerDetection.cs script. It is attached to a camera whose goal is to trigger an alarm upon seeing the player.
void OnTriggerStay (Collider other)
{
// If the colliding gameobject is the player...
if(other.gameObject == player)
{
// ... raycast from the camera towards the player.
Vector3 relPlayerPos = player.transform.position - transform.position;
RaycastHit hit;
if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, relPlayerPos, out hit))
// If the raycast hits the player...
if(hit.collider.gameObject == player)
// ... set the last global sighting of the player to the player's position.
lastPlayerSighting.position = player.transform.position;
}
}
Why does the camera check for raycast collision? Shouldn't it be enough to use OnTriggerStay to detect the player and trigger the alarm? Sorry for the newbie question!
