2D Platformer Coin Collection system Problems.

Hi guys,
With my 2D Platformer I have a script which makes it where you run into the coin and the coin destroys and you will have 1 point added to your score however the destroy system doesn't work. The gameobject doesn't destroy once my character runs into it. Any help would be great thanks.

Code (JavaScript):

1. var score = 0;
2.  
3. function OnTriggerEnter( other : Collider ) {  
4.    if (other.tag == "Coin") {      
5.       score += 5;      
6.       Destroy(other.gameObject);
7.    }
8. }

 

Are you sure that the OnTriggerEnter is being called? Put a "Debug.Log(other.tag)" inside the OnTriggerEnter and see what it show in the console.
Are you using 2D colliders? Then u need to use http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnTriggerEnter2D.html
The script is attached to the player?

 

I tried changing t to a OnTriggerEnter2D and it still doesn't work. Where exactly in the code should i put the debug log?

 

Code (CSharp):

1. function OnTriggerEnter( other : Collider ) {
2.    Debug.Log(other.tag);
3.    if (other.tag == "Coin") {    
4.       score += 5;    
5.       Destroy(other.gameObject);
6.    }
7. }

You just use OnTriggerEnter2D if you are using RigidBody2D.
