Question by ukbaz · Mar 07, 2013 at 11:12 AM · oncollisionenterguitextcollison

OnCollisionEnter doesn't work

Hi. I have a sphere gameobject with a sphere collider, mesh renderer, rigidbody. Then i have a cube gameobject with a box collider, mesh renderer, rigidbody, my script attached to it as well.

I have some gui text, everytime the sphere collides with the cube i want a variable called points to be incremented. Here is my script, i dont understand why it isn't working, everytime the sphere hits the cube, the gui text remains: points 0. thanks for any help.

 var points: int;
 var refText: GameObject;
 
 function Start () 
 {
 points =0;
 refText.guiText.text="Points: "+points;
 }
     
             
 function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision) 
 {
 
     if(collision.gameObject.tag=="myCubes")
     {
         Debug.Log("Ball hit Box");
         points++;
         
     }
 }
 
 
 
 function Update () 
 {
 refText.guiText.text="Points: "+points;
 
 }

Locate the problem first. Is it a problem with GUI drawing or point counting? Does the collision return "Ball hit Box" to your Debug log?

Thanks for your reply , it doesn't return "Ball hit Box", does that mean there is a problem at the point counting ?

ok i got it to work by changing:

 if(collision.gameObect.tag=="myCubes")

to :

 if(collision.gameObject.name=="Ball")

and it works successfully.

However when i attach the same script to another cube the gui text just doesn't increment, however it does print "Ball hit Box" to the log. I don't understand why it wont work, any help is appreciated
