Get closest child[Solved]
« on: November 18, 2013, 03:24:10 PM »
Hi,
could yo make such an action ?
I need to get the closest object to the mouse click inside a group of children.
Using tags or array would be to heavy for this setup as I am talking about dozens of small group.
thanks

Hi,

 and Actually, I would totally recommand you use this library:

http://www.differentmethods.com/packages/UnityExtender.pdf

It has a findclosest and so much more. I think making custom actions to support this would be a very good thing.

bye,

 Jean

I bought this library but I wasn't able to use it as my c# is not so sharp(sic).
I finally added a ArrayMaker list and used the ArrayList Get Closest By Tag action.
I am afraid it is too heavy with arraymaker but it works.

Hi,

 don't worry, go with this, and profile, if it really turns out being a brake to performance, then you can look into optimizinh this very feature.

porting that library is not difficult, so please, bump me on this from time to time :)

bye,
