detecting collisions and destroying gameObjects in Unity - c#

So I'm attempting to create a 2D game in Unity where the gameObjects would be destroyed upon hitting the walls. So i decided to use the isTrigger function and add the script to each of the walls. However, I do not know why the gameObjects don't get destroyed. I have tried to set Collision type as both discrete and continuous for the walls and gameobjects and I've also added static rigidbodys to the walls to see if that would help and even tried changing the size of the collisionbodys of the walls.
Here is the code for the wallscript
public class wallScript : MonoBehaviour {
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
}
public void OnTrigger2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.tag == "player01")
{
Destroy(other.gameObject);
}
}}
p.s. Even if I remove the conditional statement Destroy() still does not work

You should use void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other) {...} instead of void OnTrigger2D(Collider2D other).
And uncheck Is Trigger checkbox on your object's Collider.

To Fix The Problem You Are Facing, First Select The Wall Sprite In The Scene, Scroll Down To The Collider And Make Sure Is Trigger Is Checked.
Other Than That Just Check If The Tag You Typed Into The Code Matches The Player You Are Trying To Destroy. Remember, It's Case Sensitive!
After That The Code Should Run Just Fine.

How to stop player from automatically jumping on a moving platform?

I made a moving platform that goes vertically top to bottom and then bottom to top and so on. Platform moves fine but placing my player on it makes my player unstable.
When platform moves from top to bottom, my player kinda bounces on it. When platform moves from bottom to top, it remain stable on the way but when it reaches top point, my player makes a jump by itself.
Its get even worse when i increase the speed of my platform. I don't know if its due to unity 2d physics effect or what. I have tried to use physics material 2D on my player object and platform by setting bounce to 0 and friction to 50 but nothing seems to work. Any one have idea how to disable physics effect of moving platform? Following is my code for moving platform:
public class BrickMoveVErtical : MonoBehaviour {
public Vector3 positionOne;
public Vector3 positiontwo;
public Vector3 nextposition;
/*Empty object is already made on unity editor and its parent of platform(Plank) and other
empty object "pointB". Point "B" is already mapped on editor and platform is set to go from
its original pos to point B */
public Transform plankTranform;
public Transform positionBTransform;
public float speed;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
positionOne = plankTranform.localPosition;
positiontwo = positionBTransform.localPosition;
nextposition = positiontwo;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
move();
}
private void move() {
plankTranform.localPosition = Vector3.MoveTowards(plankTranform.localPosition,nextposition,Time.deltaTime*speed);
if(Vector3.Distance(plankTranform.localPosition,nextposition)<0.1)
{ changeMovementPlank(); }
}
void changeMovementPlank() {
nextposition = nextposition != positionOne ? positionOne : positiontwo;
}
}
I had similar problems with fast platforms in my game, the character would be left out in the air or slide off, depending on the direction of the platform.
I found a workaround for the problem by simply changing the character transform.parent to the platform it was jumping on, whenever the player exists the platform collider, simply return the players original transform.parent.
Note that this might cause other bugs or problems that will need to optimize, depending on your game that is.
You can use this code to set/unset the parent of a GameObject:
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
if(other.gameObject.tag == "PlatformGroup")
player.SetParent(other.gameObject.transform)
}
void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D other)
{
if(other.gameObject.tag == "PlatformGroup")
player.SetParent(null);
}
What you should do is:
Create an empty GameObject, and you make your platform child of this
empty GameObject. Tag it as PlatformGroup.
You add the script to move the platform to this EmptyGame Object,
instead of using it in the platform itself.
Then add a collider to empty gameobject(PlatformGroup) and another to the Player. Set the one of the player as trigger.
Add the code above to your player controller.
Now, when the Player jumps over the Platform if will become a child of the same GameObject of the platform and they will move together without any deformations in the GameObject. Also when the player leaves the platform, walking or jumping out of it, it will stop being child.

Trying to load a new scene when I enter a cube in Unity

So i have this code to enter a new scene:
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
// add this line to use the SceneManagment library
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class LoadScenes : MonoBehaviour {
[SerializeField] private string loadLevel;
void onTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
if (other.CompareTag ("Player")) {
SceneManager.LoadScene (loadLevel);
}
}
}
I then add this script to the cube and select it a trigger. I then type in the scene that I want it to send me too, but when i walk into it nothing happens at all. I have tried different variations but it just doesnt seem to work.
My character that I am using is a unity asset called man in suit but I have selected its tag as "Player". Any suggestions would be great!
The Handler for your trigger won't be invoked
As Sunimal allready noted you need to fix the typo.
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
if (other.CompareTag ("Player")) {
SceneManager.LoadScene (loadLevel);
}
}
Ensure your Scene is included and checked in the Build Settings
As you can see in the Screenshot below i have added a SampleScene to my build settings. There are 2 ways of adding scenes into the build
By clicking "Add Open Scenes" you can add the scene which is
currently open to that list.
Drag & Drop the scene from your ProjectView into the List
Ensure your SceneName is set correctly
Your loadLevel field would in my case need to have the value "Scenes/SampleScene".
[SerializeField] private string loadLevel;
The player needs a collider
As you use the OnTriggerEnter method, your Player object needs to have some sort of Collider attached to it. This can be a BoxCollider, SphereCollider or some other Collider. Note that the "Is Trigger" checkbox needs to be checked. Else it won't act as trigger.
Edit: Thanks Eddge for correcting me. See this answer for a deeper explanation about Triggers.
Programatically ensure you have a BoxCollider component beside your LoadScenes component
You can add the RequireComponent Attribute at your class. It basically ensures you have the given type added as a component. This will also automatically add a box collider to an object, when you add this script.
[RequireComponent(typeof(BoxCollider))]
public class LoadScenes : MonoBehaviour {
/// your other code is here
}
Thanks to Sunimal for this hint!
What if that did not solve the problem?
If all this does not help, please provide an screenshot of the inspector of your Playerobject. That way we can see what components are attached to that object and how they are "configured"
SceneManagement
To use the SceneManager to load a scene you must ensure that your scene is in the build settings, per Tobias's answer.
Triggers
In all software development case does matter and it is incredibly important. OnTriggerEnter is not the same as onTriggerEnter, also note OnTriggerEnter(Collider col) is not the same as OnTriggerEnter(Collision col)
In order to use any of the trigger methods there are 3 things that are a must:
Both Objects have to have colliders.
One of the colliders have to be marked as a trigger.
One of the objects have to have a rigidbody.
The trigger event is sent to the object with the rigidbody and whatever object is the trigger, in the circumstance that both objects are triggers both will receive it.

Unity5 OnTriggerEnter2D not called after collision (2D game)

I'm brand new to Unity3D 5 and I'm having issues with my first 2D game involving collision detection. My moving object is a ball and has Rigidbody2D and CircleCollider2D. My stationary "collider or trigger" is a BoxCollider and has a script attached. The OnTriggerEnter2D should be fired when the ball passes through the stationary box. I've also tried OnCollisionEnter2D but I'm fairly certain I should use OnTriggerEnter2D because my stationary box is marked as a trigger.
My code:
public class LoseCollider : MonoBehaviour {
public LevelManager levelManager;
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
print("collide");
levelManager.LoadLevel("Lose");
}
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D trigger)
{
print("trigger");
levelManager.LoadLevel("Lose");
}
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
print("collide");
levelManager.LoadLevel("Lose");
}
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider trigger)
{
print("trigger");
levelManager.LoadLevel("Lose");
}
}
As you can see I'm testing all variations and none are being called. Here are my Unity properties for my objects:
And
I'm sure I'm missing something simple if anyone can please point it out to me.
If you are going to to use OnTriggerEnter2D, you must also use a 2D Collider. You are currently using BoxCollider as shown in your second screenshot.
Change that to BoxCollider2D and your Collision callback functions should be called.
I know you already solved it, but I ran into the same problem and found your post. I was using the correct 2D collider, I was missing the Ridgedbody 2D component. It took me a while to find that so I wanted to add it here in case someone else comes across the same problem.

Unity minus extra number when I just want minus one

What I'm trying to do is when it hits a triggered collider I want it to minus an int, but what unity does is minus it with 3 instead, and I have it attached to the player itself
lifecontroller lves;
public GameObject gm;
CoinScript coins;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
gm = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("GM");
coins = gm.GetComponent<CoinScript>();
lves = gm.GetComponent<lifecontroller>();
}
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
if(other.tag == "Evil")
{
lves.lives -= 1;
Debug.Log("U hit it");
}
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if(lves.lives == 0)
{
Debug.Log("u died");
}
}
Judging from the screenshot, your script is attached to the Player GameObject multiple times. Select your Player GameObject, and remove the duplicate Script.
Make sure there is only one script attached to it. It is probably attached there 3 times.
This problem can also happen if you are instantiating multiple Player GameObjects during run-time as this will duplicate your script too.
EDIT:
With the updated Image in your comment, the problem is that you have 3 Colliders on your Player. It is true that only one of them is made IsTrigger but this is a problem if the GameObject with the Evil tag is marked as IsTrigger too.
You have 2 options to fix this:
1.Select the GameObjects with the Evil tag and make sure that no Collider attached to it is marked as IsTrigger. Unceheck all IsTrigger properties on the Collider of all Evil tagged GameObjects only. This should fix your problem.
2.Only have one Collider on Player GameObject. Remove the other 2. This again should fix your problem.
The trigger is definitly happening 3 times, your screenshot shows that (there is a 3 on the right since duplicate logs get collapsed).
This might occur because of the collider shape I think (circle). Try using a bool that us set on trigger enter and clear on trigger exit (or even Update should be ok for clearing).
This is what I suggested to debug your problem:
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
if(other.tag == "Evil")
{
lves.lives -= 1;
Debug.Log("U hit it", other.gameObject);
}
}
And by looking at your screenshot you are getting 3 log messages.
Always use don't collapse in console window to see whats happening

On-collision script not working?

in advanced I would like to say if this is a really simple question with a simple answer, I apologize as I have just now gotten into programming.Basically, I'm trying to create a script that a block named blue(picture below) on collision with the FPSController, will get destroyed, here is my script:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Cube : MonoBehaviour {
void OnCollisionEnter (Collision col) {
if(col.gameObject.name == "Blue") {
Destroy(col.gameObject);
print ("collison detected");
}
}
}
for some reason, though, whenever the fps controller collides with the object known as "Blue" nothing happens, the print() function is not triggered nor is the destroy() function
Thank you in advaned ;)
Rigidbody` is missing from your Cubes.
1.Attach Rigidbody component to both cubes.
2.Also,set both Cubes Rigidbody to Is-kinematic. You must set both Cubes Rigidbody to Is-kinematic so that the Character Controller wont be able to move it. Note that if your cube is falling down after adding Rigidbody, simply disable Use Graivty on the Rigidbody.
Important:
3.Delete FPSController. Since you will be interacting with other Rigidbody GameObjects, use RigidBodyFPSController. It can be found in Assets\Standard Assets\Characters\FirstPersonCharacter\Prefabs. Drag RigidBodyFPSController to the Scene then attach Cube script to it.
You will notice there is a Rigidbody attached to RigidBodyFPSController. Don't modify the settings of it.
That's it. Everything should be working as expected.
