Question by benbastien · Jan 26, 2021 at 02:28 AM · collisionprojectiledamagehealth

Best practice where to store Projectile Damage amounts?

I have a projectile and an enemy, both with colliders. On the projectile script, I'm destroying the projectile OnTriggerEnter:

 public class bulletBehavior : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private Rigidbody rb;
     public float smallGunSpeed = 500f;
 
     void Start()
     {
         rb = this.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
         rb.AddForce(transform.forward * smallGunSpeed);
     }
 
     private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
     {
         if (other.tag == "Enemy")
         {
             Destroy(this.gameObject);
         }
     }   
 }

On the Enemy Script I'm handling the health and the damage from the different projectiles using tags. Is this the right way to do it? I would much rather attach the damage amount to the projectile but I'm not sure how to "Transfer" the damage value to the NPC script from the projectile script? Storing them on the NPC script seems incredibly inefficient.

 public class NPCscript : MonoBehaviour
 {   
     public int maxHealth = 300;
     public int currentHealth;
     public HealthBar healthBar;
     private GameObject enemy;
 
     void Start()
     {
         currentHealth = maxHealth;
         healthBar.SetMaxHealth(maxHealth);
 
         StartCoroutine(AutoHeal());
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         if (currentHealth <= 0)
         {
             Destroy(this.gameObject);
         }
     }
 
     void TakeDamage(int damage)
     {
         currentHealth -= damage;
         healthBar.SetHealth(currentHealth);
     }
 
     private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
     {
         if (other.tag == "Bullet")
         {
             TakeDamage(10);
         }
         else if (other.tag == "Grenade")
         {
             TakeDamage(75);
         }
     }   
 }

      private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
      {
          if (other.tag == "Enemy")
          {
 Other.GetComponent<NPCscript>().currentHealth -= 1;
 
              Destroy(this.gameObject);
          }
      }
