Hello everyone !
I’m trying to make a clone of fruit ninja for practice but had a hard time finding resources linked to mouse events and mouse movements
I use the get hit result under cursor by channel
It works pretty well except when I move the mouse very quickly (like you would do in the reel Fruit ninja
So it’s frustrating it looks like it doesn’t detect when mouse is moving too fast
I don’t know if there is a way around it
This method may not be enough even if the end user is running it at 240Hz. Those delicious looking things are 3d meshes, right?
Consider the following:
Instead of tracing from camera to mouse cursor, every frame we trace on a virtual plane ahead of us:
Start - from where the projected cursor was last frame (Previous)End - to where the projected cursor is this frameThe (here hardcoded) Plane Origin should be the world location where you expect the fruit to pop up - you surely know where they spawn.
When visualised, this will look almost like a continues line at sufficiently high fps:
If we slow this down to 5 fps, we can better see what is going on:
You should still be able to detect anything hit along a line generated every frame.
And one more thing, if the game mechanics allows for slicing more than 1 fruit with a single slash, use Multiline Trace instead, the fruit should be using overlapping trace response for this to work.
