FindClosest2 filter by layer option

[jeanfabre]

Hi,

 Ok, following a request, please find a new version of FindClosest which allows you to filter by layer ( using a layer mask actually, so great flexibility here).

 I am experimenting with a new distribution system for custom actions ( as well as samples and templates), so now I will start hosting all the actions on a public repository for better tracking a more organized system.

 FindClosest2.cs

Right click on the link above to "save as" or click on it to preview it, you can then download it on your computer as well ( using save page as for example).

 Don't hesitate to give feedback on this. I am working on an editor wizard, embedded inside Unity, so you it will all be automated soon ( so that you can get dependancies, custom editors all in one click )

Bye,

 Jean

Hi Jean,
do I have the wrong idea about Find Closest/Find Closest2? I have a float variable to collect the Distance but it seems to be giving odd numbers.

I thought if my player was in the middle of the screen and my enemy was 3 units to the right it would display '3' and if the enemy was 3 units to the left it'll read '-3'.

Instead it seems to read out something else, like maybe it's position? I dunno.

Any help?

The distance will never be a negative number. It's measuring the length from point A (owner) to point B (target)

The Vector3 Operator action should be able to get the numbers you are looking for (using the position values)
