Setting thrown object to kinematic after hitting target?

Question

Hi everyone! I am making an axe throwing game for VR, and am having a little trouble getting this part to work. I have a grabbable object that should stick in place once it hits the mesh of the target. This is the code I'm working with:

public class TargetScore : MonoBehaviour { //Set public GameObject Axe;

     private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
     {
         //when object comes into contact with target
         if (other.gameObject.name == Axe.name)
         {
             GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true;
             ScoreManager.score++;
 
         }
     }

But the axe will not stick nor will the score increment. What am I missing? Thank you!

Well, let's take this one step at a time:

 if (other.gameObject.name == Axe.name)

This suggests that this script is attached to the Target, and that it's watching for the Throwing Axe.

 GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true;

Then, you're setting the Target to be kinematic.

You should set that on the Throwing Axe instead.

 other.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true;

Thank you so much! This worked! I see how that I was basically setting the target as kinematic before.
