Asked By | King C rocodile |
for my cooking game im trying to make a dispenser that spawn whatever food when the player raycast and Input.is_action_just_pressed(“use”): is colliding with it.
imagine a square which is the object, spawns a tomato if the player raycast is colliding with it and clicking.
how can i make the spawner object detect the player raycast?
any tips or suggestions?
I’m not sure what you’re asking for help with. Your description sounds reasonable. If a raycast is colliding with an appropriate object and the player clicks, spawn a new item.
What part of that are you having difficulties with?

oh man i completely messed up my question…
i meant to ask how i can make the object realise the players raycast is colliding with it then if the player press the assigned button “use”, the object spawns a tomato.
my bad!
the spawning i already know how to do, just not the detecting of raycast

The object won’t be able to detect the player’s raycast because the raycast will only pass information to the player. Couple of options I can think of are:
a) Get the player to send out a signal when its raycast hits an object (maybe pass the objects as a parameter). Then that object can pick up the signal and dispense the tomato. You could use an if statement to take care of the button press:
func _on_RaycastCollisionDetected(obj: Object) -> void:
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("use"):
emit_signal("UseObject", obj)
or b) Just call the relevant function in the Object script. You could do this by replacing the emit_signal line above to obj.DispenseTomato() or whatever the function is called in the Object script.
