I am making a turret but it won't shoot

I am making a turret that shoots a bullet at a set rate, but when the timer is done it doesn't spawn a new bullet even though it doesn't say i have any errors. the bullet has a simple script where it moves at a set speed either left or right, and gets destroyed on impact with an object. the turret does not have a collider right now so I know that's not the problem.
Here is the code for shooting:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class TurretShoot : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject bullet;
public int bullet_rate = 10;
public int timer;
public Transform SpawnPoint;
void Start()
{
timer = bullet_rate * 10;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (timer == 0)
{
Instantiate(bullet, SpawnPoint.transform);
timer = bullet_rate * 10;
}
else
{
timer -= 1;
}
}
}
Here is the bullet code:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class BulletMove : MonoBehaviour
{
public int moveDirection;
public int moveSpeed;
void Start()
{
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
this.transform.position += new Vector3(moveDirection * moveSpeed, 0, 0);
}
void onCollisionEnter2D(Collider2D col)
{
if (col.GetComponent<Collider>().name != "turret_top")
{
Destroy(this);
}
}
}
Here is the inspector for the turret:

Probably what is happening is it get's destroyed when it spawns.
I don't have a collider on the turret
You aren't instantiating it at the turrent. You are simply setting the parent when you are instantiating it:
public static Object Instantiate(Object original, Transform parent);
Meaning it is probally spawning at Vector3.Zero and instantly gets de-spawn.
Rather use the overload method of:
public static Object Instantiate(Object original, Vector3 position, Quaternion rotation);
That way you are spawning it the location you want. This is how you would go about it:
var bulletObj = Instantiate(bullet, SpawnPoint.transform.position, Quaternion.Identity);
bulletObj.transform.parent = SpawnPoint.transform;
timer = bullet_rate * 10;

Is there a way to have Delay timer or cutscene? Unity March 28/21 update

What I'm trying to do is have my player stop moving so I can play animation through a trigger-event or just a custscene.
What I expect was for one of them to trigger the timer then play animation>player move.. like a cut-scene
Also there are no errors In any of them They just didn't stop player from moving or just stop the player when starting the game(or when I press play it just set forwardMovement to 0)
Here's the code I use:
public class Player_controls : MonoBehaviour
{
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UIElements;
public class Player_controls : MonoBehaviour
{
public int forwardMovement = 1000;
public void Update()
{
rb.AddForce(0, 0, forwardMovement * Speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
}
Things that I tried:
public void ForwardMovement()
{
forwardMovement = 0;
Invoke("Action", 2f);
}
public void Action ()
{
forwardMovement = 1000 ;
}
Which only works for ForwardMovement(); method nothing else
I tried these two things also:
Public static class MonoExtensions
{
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using System;
public float Delayer = 10f;
public static class MonoExtensions
{
public static void Timed_delay(this MonoBehaviour mono,Action function, float Delayer)
{
mono.StartCoroutine(Timed_delayRoutine(function,Delayer));
}
static IEnumerator Timed_delayRoutine(Action function, float Delayer)
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(Delayer);
function();
}
public class `Player_Controls`: MonoBehaviour
{
public void PM ()
{
forwardMovement = 0;
}
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (CompareTag("Power_up"))
{
this.Timed_delay(PM, Delayer);
}
}
}
Which just stop the player from moving an nothing else.
What I also tried was:
public class Player_Controls : MonoBehaviour
{
void Start()
{
StartCoroutine(ForwardMovement());
}
IEnumerator ForwardMovement()
{
forwardMovement = 0;
yield return new waitforseconds(Delayer);
forwardMovement = 1050;
}
void OnTriggerEnter(collider other)
{
if (CompareTag("Power_up"))
{
ForwardMovement();
}
}
}
Which did not work as in(it works but the timer part does nothing, so the player can't move when started the game )
Different way I tried
public class Player_Controls : MonoBehaviour
{
OnTriggerEnter(collider other)
{
Startcroutine(ForwardMovement ));
}
}
it didn't work but no Errors.
I tried this one by jazzhar:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UIElements;
public class Player_controls : MonoBehaviour
{
// Drag the player in the inspector here;
public Rigidbody rb;
// Youre speed variable for movement.
public float Speed = 5;
// Youre speed variable for movement.
public int forwardMovement = 1000;
// Set this "stopmoving" bool to true to prevent movement.
public bool stopMoving = false;
// Create and select the right layer in the inspector.
public LayerMask WichObjectStopsMovement;
public void Update()
{
// if stopMoving = true than Dont Add force.
if (stopMoving == false)
{
rb.AddForce(0, 0, forwardMovement * Speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
// if you're player touches a object and that object's layer
// is the same as "WichObjectStopsMovement" than disable Movement.
if (collision.collider.gameObject.layer == WichObjectStopsMovement)
{
stopMoving = false;
}
}
}
It sorta works in a way if you set if
if (stopMoving == true)
{
rb.AddForce(0, 0, forwardMovement * Speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
and
if (collision.collider.gameObject.layer == WichObjectStopsMovement)
{
stopMoving = true;
}
then the player would be able to move but it will not trigger if hit the cube
it didn't work either but no Errors.
And some other timers I did but forgotten....
_________________________________________________________________March/6/21
public float Delayer = 10.0f;
I think found solution by doing this
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (CompareTag("Power_up"))
{
Delayer -= Time.deltaTime; <- this part giving me the error
if (Delayer => 0)
{
forwardMovement = 0;
}
}
}
but their one problem it giving me the this error Cannot convert lambda expression to type 'bool' because it is not a delegate type [Assembly-CSharp]csharp(CS1660) I don't know much about this even searching about doesn't help either
__________________________________________________________________March 28/21
this script is under player controls
this one works I made sure by doing Debug.Log("test");
void OnTriggerExit(Collider collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Power_up"))
{
forwardMovement = 0;
}
if (forwardMovement <= 0)
{
Debug.Log("test");
}

This might be a solution to you're problem, Fire-Source!:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UIElements;
public class Player_controls : MonoBehaviour
{
// Drag the player in the inspector here;
public Rigidbody rb;
// Youre speed variable for movement.
public float Speed = 5;
// Youre speed variable for movement.
public int forwardMovement = 1000;
// Set this "stopmoving" bool to true to prevent movement.
public bool stopMoving = false;
// Create and select the right layer in the inspector.
public LayerMask WichObjectStopsMovement;
public void Update()
{
// if stopMoving = true than Dont Add force.
if (stopMoving == false)
{
rb.AddForce(0, 0, forwardMovement * Speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
// if youre player touches a object and that object's layer
// is the same as "WichObjectStopsMovement" than disable Movement.
if (collision.collider.gameObject.layer == WichObjectStopsMovement)
{
stopMoving = false;
}
}
}
This code uses a LayerMask, to create 1 click on any object and in the inspector go:
Click on Layer:
Add Layer:
Write in User Layer 6, StopMovement (or anything else).
Than in the object that should stop player movement:
Click on layer:
Than select the Layer that says StopMovement.
And in you're player's script drag the object into the rb variable.
and in "WichObjectStopsMovement" assign the StopMovement layer.
This should take care of everything is that ok?

Unity 2D, C# - Why my OnCollisionEnter2D doesn't collide?

So, i created two scripts, one named "Stats.cs" registers the player stats and the other one named "PlayerHealth.cs" "makes" the player take damage on contact and updates the Hearts in the HUD. My problem is, whenever i collide with an object that has a tag named "Projectile" it simply doesn't work, my player doesn't take damage at all. The Stats.cs script isn't in any object, the PlayerHealth.cs is in my Player object.
Stats.cs
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
[System.Serializable]
public class Stats{
private int health;
public int maxHP = 3;
public int Health
{
get
{
//Some code
return health;
}
set
{
//Some code
health = Mathf.Clamp(value, 0, maxHP);
}
}
public void SetHealth()
{
Health = maxHP;
}
}
PlayerHealth.cs
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour
{
Stats playerStats = new Stats();
public int curHealth;
public int numOfHearts = 3;
public Image[] hearts;
public Sprite fullHeart;
public Sprite emptyHeart;
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other)
{
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Projectile"))
{
Debug.Log("Hello");
DamagePlayer(1);
Destroy(other.gameObject);
}
}
public void DamagePlayer(int damage)
{
playerStats.Health -= damage;
}
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
playerStats.SetHealth();
curHealth = numOfHearts;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
curHealth = playerStats.Health;
numOfHearts = playerStats.maxHP;
if (curHealth>numOfHearts){
curHealth = numOfHearts;
}
if(curHealth <= 0){
Die();
}
for (int i = 0; i < hearts.Length; i++)
{
if(i < curHealth){
hearts[i].sprite = fullHeart;
} else
{
hearts[i].sprite = emptyHeart;
}
if(i < numOfHearts){
hearts[i].enabled = true;
} else {
hearts[i].enabled = false;
}
}
}
void Die(){
//Restart
Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel);
}
}
curHealth is updating so it will stay as the actual Health in Stats and will change the images in HUD.
The Player has a RigidBody2D on him two colliders, one is a box for the body, and the other is a circle collider, so when the player crouches, the circle collider disables.
The Projectiles also have and RigidBody2D with 0 gravity (so it won't fall in mid air) and a BoxCollider2D.

I would check and make sure that the projectile is tagged as Projectile and that the BoxCollider doesn't have "Is Trigger" checked.
I should also say, iterating with that for loop in the Update is very bad practice performance wise. That is happening literally as fast as the machine can loop it and it is doing that every time. I would look into updating it on an event.
Hope this helps!

Next Scene Not Loading

My problem is that when all the enemies are killed the scene that should be loaded is not loading. I did add the scene to the Build setting (it has an index of 3) but it is still not loading. The script I created is attached to an empty object and not directly to the sprite (is that okay?). Can someone tell me why the scene isn't loading? Thank you.

Problem
You're checking for collisions on the SPAWNER; when someone hits the Spawner it counts down enemies. But the Spawner doesn't have a collision box in the screenshot so it can never be hit. The Scene changing code can never be called.
So the game, based on the code, looks like this:
Spawn X enemies,
Hit the Spawner X times,
(Removed: Destroy the Spawner,)
Change scene.
I'm guessing this is conceptually incorrect and you actually want to check collisions on the spawned enemies, which will then count up the amount of destroyed enemies, and change the scene when they are all dead.
Solution
Conceptually, what you want is:
Spawn X enemies
Count up variable for every enemy
On Enemy death, count it down
When 0, change scene
So how do we code this?
Well, every enemy needs a reference to the object that holds the count. You can do this in several ways, when I personally do it I usually have just one spawner that is responsible for everyone so I make that one a Singleton, that can be references from anywhere:
EnemySpawner
public class EnemySpawner : MonoBehaviour
{
public static Spawner Instance = null;
int CurrentNumOfEnemies = 0;
// ... etc
void Start()
{
if (Instance == null)
Instance = this;
// Spawn enemies like you do already, CurrentNumOfEnemies++ for every spawned
}
public OnEnemyDeath() {
CurrentNumOfEnemies--;
if (CurrentNumOfEnemies < 1)
{
// You killed everyone, change scene:
LevelManager.LoadLevel("Your Level");
}
}
}
Enemy script (I don't know how your current code looks, but here's a minimal solution based on how I THINK your code looks):
void OnDestroy()
{
// This will run automatically when you run Destroy() on this gameObject
EnemySpawner.Instance.OnEnemyDeath(); // Tell the EnemySpawner that someone died
}
This will only work if you have exactly only ONE spawner. If you have multiple ones you will have to send a reference to the instance of its spawner to every spawned enemy. I can show you how to do ths too, if you wish.
Bonus content
LevelManager doesn't need to be on a GameObject, it can be static instead:
Remove the LevelManager script from any GameObject
Change your LevelManager code to this:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public static class LevelManager
{
public static void LoadLevel(string name)
{
Debug.Log("Level loading requested for" + name);
SceneManager.LoadScene(name);
}
}
Now you can use it from ANYWHERE, without needing to initialize a reference to any script or GameObject:
LevelManager.LoadLevel("My Level");

myLevelManager.LoadLevel("NextLevelMenu"); is never executed, because you destroy the object in the if-test above.

How to set a counter for spawning enemies passing a certain point?

I am making a game in unity where there are enemies spawning horizontally in the left direction. I wrote a piece of code for the enemy prefab that when it passes a position , the counter will increase by one. and if 5 enemies passed the point , a game over scene will appear.
When I run the scene , the count is not incremented !
Here is my code :
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class GameOver : MonoBehaviour
{
public int count=0;
public void update()
{
if (GameObject.Find("bunny").transform.position.x == -3.0f)
{
count = +1;
if (count == 5)
{
Application.LoadLevel ("gameOver");
}
}
}
}
and here is the code for enemy movement :
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class EnemyMovement : MonoBehaviour {
public float speed ;
void Update () {
transform.Translate(-Vector2.right*speed*(Time.deltaTime));
}
}
thanks in advance

modify :
count = +1; => count++;
and
if (GameObject.Find("bunny").transform.position.x == -3.0f)
Floating point comparison is not recommanded. So modifying the code will be better.
if (((int)GameObject.Find("bunny").transform.position.x) == -3)
and cache finding variable as a member variable in the class, because it's so expensive to find object in a scene.
GameObject bunny = GameObject.Find("bunny");

Jinbom Heo's answer is correct but I'd also like to point out that in this line:
if (GameObject.Find("bunny").transform.position.x == -3.0f)
there may be some times position.x wouldn't equal exactly 3.0f. Better change it to:
if (GameObject.Find("bunny").transform.position.x < -3.0f)
As for the caching part, it should look something like this:
public class GameOver : MonoBehaviour
{
public int count=0;
GameObject bunny;
void Start(){
bunny = GameObject.Find("bunny");
}
public void update()
{
if (bunny.transform.position.x < -3.0f){
// ...
}
}
}
