Question by 0V3RWR173D · Jun 30, 2010 at 12:03 AM · sendmessagebroadcastmessage

Broadcast Message Problems

When I try to broadcast a message to another object it has an error that says "BroadcastMessage theBroadcastedMessage has no receiver!"

I have a script for each object:

function OnCollisionEnter (collision : Collision) {
    if(collision.transform.tag=="Bullet"){
        //Do other things
        BroadcastMessage ("PlayTheAnimation");
    }
}

And for the receiving object:

function PlayTheAnimation () {
    animation.Play();
}

I am not sure if I wrote the script with something wrong or its just an error from unity. I am not sure how to use BroadcastMessage because I only found a little about it in the scripting references. I would appreciate it if someone could give me some advise.

BroadcastMessage sends to the gameobject you're using it on, and all its children

In your case, it's doing it on the current gameobject

You'll need to get a reference to your other object and do yourOtherGameObject.BroadcastMessage
