GetComponent, gameObject.tag vs gameObject.layer
Im currently using a raycast system to detect touches on game objects. I cant figure out why I can grab a component from an object if I reference the object by the tag, but I cant if I reference by the layer.
This works :
if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "object_controller")
{
var objScript : object_controller = hit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent(object_controller);
objScript.Kill();
}
This does not :
if(hit.collider.gameObject.layer == 9)
{
var objScript : object_controller = hit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent(object_controller);
objScript.Kill();
}
Can anyone enlighten me?
Are you positive that 9 is the correct layer number? You can double check by using name to layer and logging it to the console
var mask=Layer$$anonymous$$ask.NameToLayer("$$anonymous$$yLayer");
Debug.Log(mask);
Thanks, you guys are right! Why is it that even though I physically set the layer on the prefab to 9 in the inspector, the object is on a different layer?
does collider is on object with correct layer? or collider and object with layer are different (parent and child?)
modify your layer check to this (below) and methinks you'll got the answer 8)
if(hit.collider.gameObject.layer == 9)
{
var objScript : object_controller = hit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent(object_controller);
objScript.Kill();
}
else
{
Debug.Log("my layer is: " + hit.collider.gameObject.layer.ToString());
}
