Title: Which side was I hit? A knockback question...
Post by: HeathClose on April 07, 2017, 07:13:54 PM

So I have an elevated enemy shooting at my player...

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/quikniy23iw7tm7/pew%20pew.png?dl=1)

the game is a runner... and my player is always moving to the right (except in my picture which I just realized I drew him going left  ::) )... unless of course it is interrupted by knockback... then it keeps moving after it recovers from the knockback...

I have the knockback set to -2.2 on the x and 1.9 on the y...

but what if the player get's hit in the back?  I want the impulse force to change it's direction for the knockback.... and deliver 2.2 on the x instead of -2.2

how can I figure out what side of the player I hit, so if the player is hit in the back... he is knocked forward not backwards... I need a way for the projectile prefab to know whether it's in front of or behind the player on contact.

Hi,

 You can put two colliders, on on the left and on the right, deal with the differences and also forward the hit to a general hit manager for all the common tasks.

 Bye,
