Background Sprites lose their tags when the project is built
I am currently building my first 2d game in unity and playing around with a 2D Box Collider/Rigidbody to move background tiles forward to make the background "infinite." This works just fine in the editor when I hit "play," but when I build it for both android and PC the background tiles stop being moved.
Here is my function for collision detecting:
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
if (collision.tag == "Background")
{
Vector3 temp = collision.transform.position;
float width = ((BoxCollider2D)collision).size.x;
temp.x = lastBGX + width;
lastBGX = temp.x;
collision.transform.position = temp;
}
}
Where lastBGX is the x value of the edge of the last background tile
After some debugging it seems that the issue may be in the awake() function for my background collector:
void Awake ()
{
backgrounds = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Background");
lastBGX = backgrounds[0].transform.position.x;
for (int i = 1; i < backgrounds.Length; i++)
{
if (lastBGX < backgrounds[i].transform.position.x)
{
lastBGX = backgrounds[i].transform.position.x;
}
}
}
When I run the code in the unity editor the FindGameObjectWithTag() function works just fine, but when I build it it stops working. Somehow it seems as if my background tiles are losing their tags in the process of the build.
