Collider.ClosestPointOnBounds

Parameters

Description

The closest point to the bounding box of the attached collider.

This can be used to calculate hit points when applying explosion damage.

#pragma strict
public var hitPoints = 100.0F;
public var coll;
function Start() {
	coll = GetComponent.<Collider>();
}
function ApplyHitPoints(explosionPos, radius) {
	// The distance from the explosion position to the surface of the collider.
	var closestPoint = coll.ClosestPointOnBounds(explosionPos);
	var distance = Vector3.Distance(closestPoint, explosionPos);
	// The damage should decrease with distance from the explosion.
	var damage = 1.0F - Mathf.Clamp01(distance / radius);
	hitPoints -= damage * 10.0F;
}
