Problem with collisions and Destroy(gameObject).
I'm making a Space Invaders clone for my first unity project so I can get comfortable with the engine. I'm trying to make the bullet colliding with the ship destroys the ship. Here is the code:
function OnControllerColliderHit (hit:ControllerColliderHit)
{
if (hit.gameObject.tag == "bullet")
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
I have the code attached to the ship and the bullet has the "bullet" tag. My question is why isn't the ship being destroyed?
Edit:
I changed the code to:
function OnControllerColliderHit (hit:ControllerColliderHit)
{
Debug.Log("Collision Works");if (hit.gameObject.tag == "bullet")
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
It did not say the collision works in the console. Thanks for all the help by the way =)

If the debug isn't being called then the function isn't running.
So, make sure you do in fact have a CharacterController on the ship. Otherwise, you should use OnCollisionEnter().
Make sure you are moving your bullets using Unity's physics engine. If you use Transform.Translate() to move your bullets then the message won't be sent either.
For the character controller, you should use exclusively Controller.Move().
to narrow down where your code is not working you can use Debug.Log(message); to let you know what is actually happening. because with this code either OnControllerColliderHit is not getting called or the hit.gameObject.tag is never "bullet".
logging a message "collider hit" inside OnControllerColliderHit would let you know that it is in fact getting called.
Sorry I'm new to this. I searched for a while on google and can't find how to work the Debug.Log. Could you tell me how that works?
just add the line Debug.Log("hi"); and it will print "hi" to the console (the window where code error notifications pop up) letting you know that line of code is getting executed, or the value of a variable with something like Debug.Log("speed: " + speed);
