if(meleeType == MeleeType.Potion)
Destroy(gameObject);
}
To detect the contact between the melee item and GameObject that the player hits,
we use
OnTriggerEnter
to activate our functions. When the melee item enters a
triggered GameObject, the
OnTriggerEnter
function is called and it will receive
the GameObject that it entered.
From here, we use a
switch
statement to check the tag of the trigger GameObject.
Using a tag is a quick way to check what the player hit with their melee item. Once
we find the correctly tagged GameObject, we check the
meleeType
variable and
then the
meleeAction
variable.
Depending on the type of melee item, we decide what the item can and can't do.
In both
case
statements, we check whether the melee type is a potion or not; this
will decide whether to activate environmental objects or not. Also, at the end of the
function, we destroy the melee item if it is a potion; this ensures that potions are a
single-use item.
