Question by Kith · Mar 23, 2010 at 05:42 AM · 2dcollisionprojectileignore

How to ensure projectiles don't bump into each other

Pretty much what the title says. I'm making a side-scrolling "Mega-man" like game, but the problem is that the projectiles, if shot quick enough, bump into each other and start flying through the Z-Axis. How do I make the projectiles ignore these collisions?

I've tried this script attached to my projectile...

function OnCollisionStay(collision : Collision) {
    if (collision.gameObject.tag == "projectile") {
        Physics.IgnoreCollision(collision.collider, collider);
    }
}

and tagged my projectile prefab with "projectile", but it doesn't seem to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Call Physics.IgnoreCollision() inside of Start(), not when the projectiles collide. IgnoreCollision() is a preventative measure, not a reactionary one.

function Start () { var projectiles = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("projectile"); for (var projectile in projectiles) { if(!(projectile.collider == collider)) Physics.IgnoreCollision(projectile.collider, collider); }

 Destroy(gameObject, 7);
 rigidbody.AddRelativeForce (Vector3.right * (speed));

}

Thanks! This is the code that fixed my problem. I thought that you called IgnoreCollision right when you first detect the collision, but it makes more sense for it to be reactionary. Thanks again :-).
