Cannot use "velocity" on a static body

whenever cannonball hits my character while jumping it just freezes, doesn't load losecene or play death animation, however when its in the idle or running position it does all of them normally, it gives me an error which says Cannot use "velocity" on a static body, i need to freeze the character, play death anim and then load the lose scene but i cannot trigger all 3 of these action while jumping although it perfectly works on any other state

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
5.  
6. public class PlayerLife : MonoBehaviour
7.  
8.  
9. {
10.     private Rigidbody2D rb;
11.     private Animator anim;
12.  
13.  
14.     void Start()
15.     {
16.         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
17.         anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
18.      
19.     }
20.  
21.  
22.     private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
23.     {
24.         if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Enemy"))
25.         {
26.             Die();
27.          
28.         }
29.     }
30.  
31.  
32.     private void Die()
33.     {
34.         rb.bodyType = RigidbodyType2D.Static;
35.         anim.SetTrigger("death");
36.        
37.  
38.     }
39.  
40.     private void RestartLevel()
41.     {
42.         SceneManager.LoadScene("LoseScene");
43.     }
44. }
45.  

 

Wherever you are moving the character, you need to check if it has been flagged static and stop doing so.

 

This helped me a lot as I was having a similar issue as I was using similar code for my Die() method.

Code (CSharp):

1. if (rb.bodyType != RigidbodyType2D.Static) {
2.  
3. }

I added this into my movement script and it stopped spamming the static error in console. Thanks!
