How to check if an object has collided from another script?
public bool touchCheck;
private bool self;
private bool notSelf;
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Piece") {
if (other.transform == gameObject.transform.parent) {
self = true;
} else if (other.transform != gameObject.transform.parent) {
notSelf = true;
}
if (self && notSelf) {
touchCheck = true;
Debug.Log ("Pieces touch!");
}
}
}
The above is the "TouchCheck" script attached to a child object, checking if it collides with it's parent and another object at the same time. This script works. My problem is this: I want a separate script "RoomGen" to tell me what "TouchChecks" value is. When I get to the point in my "RoomGen" script that asks whether there is a collision before it spawns another piece, it's value will NEVER return true despite the "TouchCheck" collision script saying there has been a collision.
I would appreciate any help as I haven't been able to figure this out for two days.
public GameObject Piece01, Piece02, Piece03, Piece04, Piece05, Piece06, Piece07, Piece08, Piece09;
private GameObject nextSpawnObj;
private GameObject spawnObject;
GameObject touchCheckObj;
public int maxPieces;
int spawnCount;
int rndPieceSpawn;
Vector3 nextSpawnPos;
Quaternion nextSpawnRotation;
void Start () {
nextSpawnPos = Vector3.zero;
nextSpawnRotation = new Quaternion();
}
void Update () {
if (spawnCount != maxPieces) {
rndPieceSpawn = Random.Range (1, 10);
switch (rndPieceSpawn) {
case 1:
spawnObject = Piece01;
break;
case 2:
spawnObject = Piece02;
break;
case 3:
spawnObject = Piece03;
break;
case 4:
spawnObject = Piece04;
break;
case 5:
spawnObject = Piece05;
break;
case 6:
spawnObject = Piece06;
break;
case 7:
spawnObject = Piece07;
break;
case 8:
spawnObject = Piece08;
break;
case 9:
spawnObject = Piece09;
break;
}
SpawnObj (spawnObject);
touchCheckObj = GameObject.Find("touchCheck");
TouchCheck touchCheckScript = touchCheckObj.GetComponent<TouchCheck>();
bool check = touchCheckScript.touchCheck;
if (check == true) {
Debug.Log ("Pieces touch! - RoomGen");
}
if (check == false) {
FindNewSpawnPos ("nextObjSpawnPoint");
FindNewSpawnRota ("nextObjSpawnPoint");
Destroy (touchCheckObj.gameObject);
spawnCount += 1;
}
}
}
private void SpawnObj(GameObject Obj) {
GameObject.Instantiate (Obj,nextSpawnPos, nextSpawnRotation);
}
public void FindNewSpawnPos (string nextObjSpawnPoint) {
nextSpawnObj = GameObject.Find (nextObjSpawnPoint);
nextSpawnPos = nextSpawnObj.transform.position;
}
public void FindNewSpawnRota (string nextObjSpawnPoint) {
nextSpawnObj = GameObject.Find (nextObjSpawnPoint);
nextSpawnRotation = nextSpawnObj.transform.rotation;
Destroy (nextSpawnObj);
}
In your RoomGen, create a TouchCheck object, something like this.
TouchCheck check;
void Start() {
// Sets check object to touchCheck boolean
check = GameObject<TouchCheck>().touchCheck;
}
void Update() {
// Use touchCheck boolean
if (touchCheck) {
// Do this if touchCheck is TRUE
} else {
// Do this instead if touchCheck is FALSE
}
}
I don't know if this is most optimal, but this is what I do usually. Let me know if that works! :)
