Stacking mechanic (Parenting Prefab to another prefab on collision)
Hello i'm working on building a stacking mechanic for my game.
what I want to happen is for my movable platform to catch and stack the falling objects as they collide with the platform. My idea was to make the falling objects a child to the platform when a collision between them happen and then it would "stick" to the platform while the player is still able to control the platforms side to side movement.
this is the code I am using at the moment, im able to get the platform to child the falling objects after a collision between them, but it wont stay sticking to the platform when I move around.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Stacking : MonoBehaviour
{
private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision stacking)
{
if (stacking.gameObject.tag == "track 01")
{
stacking.transform.parent = GameObject.Find("BurgerPlate").transform;
}
}
}
any suggestions or other ways to accomplish this task?
Thanks in advance!
Can you just disable the physics on it?
private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision stacking)
{
if (stacking.gameObject.tag == "track 01")
{
stacking.transform.parent = GameObject.Find("BurgerPlate").transform;
// It's moving because of its Rigidbody.
stacking.transform.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true
}
}
Yep what he said should work - or you could also just remove the rigidbody altogether if you wanted to save a little bit on background calculations
private void OnCollisionEnter(Collider stacking)
{
if (stacking.gameObject.tag == "someTag")
{
stacking.transform.parent = this.transform;
//or whatever object you want to be the parent
gameobject.destroy(stacking.getComponent<rigidbody>());
}
}
Thank you both! I implemented parts of each of your codes and it worked perfectly!
Much appreciation!
