I've implemented opening drawers/doors features on my game but the issue I'm facing is that when The player opens a drawer, it gets pushed back so the drawer has some room to be opened. sometimes it jitters when pushed back.

 Physics.Raycast(mainCamera.transform.position, mainCamera.transform.forward, out hit, 3f); 
        if (hit.transform)
        {
            interactiveObjects = hit.transform.GetComponent<InteractiveObjects>();
        }
        else
        {
            lookObject = null;
            interactiveObjects = null;
        }
        if (Open)
        {
            if (interactiveObjects)
            {
                interactiveObjects.OnOpen();
            }
        }  

I'm using raycast to open the drawer. Is there a way to only allow the raycasting, when the player is not too close to the drawer? so it doesn't get pushed back by the drawer.

CodePudding user response：

You can check the distance after doing the raycast. If the distance is within the tolerable range, execute the rest of your code.

if (Physics.Raycast(mainCamera.transform.position, mainCamera.transform.forward, out hit, 3f))
{
    if (hit.distance >= minDistance)
    {
         // Code to execute when range is acceptable
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log("Player is too close to object!");
    }
}

The distance used above does not take into account the height difference between the hit point and the camera. You can get a much more consistent distance by setting the y component of both vectors equal before getting the distance.

var cameraPos = mainCamera.transform.position;
cameraPos.y = hit.point.y;

var distance = Vector3.Distance(hit.point, cameraPos);
