Infinite Runner Live Training 2d collisions not working
At about 30 minutes into the Infinite Runner Live Training, Mike used a quad to make a 2d Collider to pause the game. I copied the code word for word I'm pretty sure, but the game still doesn't pause. I have been looking over my project for about half an hour now trying to figure out what went wrong, but couldn't find anything. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks and here's my code.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class DestroyerScript : MonoBehaviour {
void OnTriggerEnter2d(Collider2D other)
{
if(other.tag == "Player")
{
Debug.Break ();
return;
}
if(other.gameObject.transform.parent)
{
Destroy (other.gameObject.transform.parent.gameObject);
}
else
{
Destroy(other.gameObject);
}
}
}

Since it seem nobody else is answering this question I guess I will give it a try.
I looked at the video and I noticed two things that could potentially be a problem.
Your code looks like it would work but since I am not as experienced in it I'm not sure, but the code in the video did not have "return;" in the first if statement.
And 2. Is your player character tagged "Player" in the inspector? And if so does the object to collide have the collider marked as a trigger?
I am pretty sure he included the return to get rid of some $$anonymous$$or error. And yes, I am sure I tagged the character "Player". Have you tried this code yourself?
I have not tried it myself but I am thinking I should, I will get back to you on it. But I do want to ask, are you following to tutorial exactly with all the same assets, or are you implementing this in your own game/project with your own assets? And one more thing you could try in the mean time, put this in the first if statement to see if your character is registering a hit with the collider/trigger.
print("hit");
if nothing shows up in the console when trying the problem it will narrow things down.
So I have tested the script and it worked as it should for me, which means its not a scripting error. I have a few things to ask you:
Does your character have a rigidbody2D on it?(Im sure its on there but I just needed to ask)
and
When I was recreating the problem and I created the "Quad" primitive, I noticed the Quad starts with a $$anonymous$$esh collider, and if its going to work it needs a 2d collider, which the mesh collider is not i don't believe. So I added the "BoxCollider2D" and removed the mesh collider. But other than that, I did not do anything differently.
I don't know what else to try, but let me know if these two questions are true, and if you are still having a problem try the print method and let me know if the console shows anything.
So here's what I have
I am using the sample assets that were used in the video
$$anonymous$$y character does have a rigid body 2d
When I put print ("hit") in the first if statement nothing prints out in the console on run
I am using a box collider 2d on both destroyers, not a mesh collider.
I wanted to ask what your z axis is for the destroyers, main camera, and player and if your character is on a different layer than the rest of the project. Don't know if either of those are causing the problem. In the meantime I'll look at the vid again.
I got it Serenefox! Not sure what I did, I just started from scratch and watched the video again. Thanks for sticking with me throughout it all! Owe you big time!
