bullet

Hello

I attached to a prefabricated bullet the following piece of code :

void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision){

if(collision.gameObject.tag == "tiger"){
ContactPoint contact = collision.contacts[0];
Vector3 pos = contact.point;
Instantiate(explosionTiger, pos, Quaternion.identity) ;
Instantiate(smokeTiger, pos, Quaternion.identity ) ;
gameObject.GetComponent<FSM>().bDead = true; }

}

if my prefabricated bullet hits an enemy tank with tag "tiger" the" explosionTiger" and the" smokeTiger" effects are instantiated, no problem but...

The enemy tank has a "FSM" script attached where I declared a public bool "bDead = false" variable

I expect that the function ;

gameObject.GetComponent<FSM>().bDead = true; }

should switch the bDead variable from false to true, but it does not

What shall I do ?

 

First of all: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/using-code-tags-properly.143875

Code (csharp):

1. gameObject.GetComponent<FSM>().bDead = true;

You're calling GetComponent method of object in gameObject property of this MonoBehaviour class isntance (prefabricated bullet)
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component-gameObject.html (MonoBehaviour inherits from Component)

Code (csharp):

1. gameObject.GetComponent<FSM>().bDead = true; // is the same as:
2. this.gameObject.GetComponent<FSM>().bDead = true;

What you should do instead is call the GetComponent of GameObject you collided with (tank):

Code (csharp):

1. collision.gameObject.GetComponent<FSM>().bDead = true;
