    Hi I've being using the code below to destroy an object when the player character makes contact with the trigger for the object but it hasn't worked and I can't figure out why any advice would be great. Thanks

    Code (csharp):
    1. using UnityEngine;
    2. using System.Collections;
    3.  
    4. public class Collisioncod : MonoBehaviour {
    5.  
    6. void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D obj) {
    7. if(obj.gameObject.tag=="MapPiece"){
    8. Destroy (obj.gameObject);
    9. }
    10. }
    11. }

    Write some test output into console to check that objects are collide.
    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2. void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D obj)
    3. {
    4.       print ("Object with tag collide me:" + obj.gameObject.tag);
    5.       if(obj.gameObject.tag=="MapPiece")
    6.       {
    7.              print ("Yes we are!!!");
    8.              Destroy (obj.gameObject);
    9.        }
    10. }
    11.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D collision)
    2. {
    3. if(collision.gameObject.tag=="player")
    4. {
    5. Destroy (gameObject,0f);
    6. }
    7. }
    8. }
    Try this.
    Attach this script to the target you need destroyed.

    Pseudo:
    if your collision is with the object with the tag "player" destroy the gameobject the script is attached to.

    Hi

    The script you gave me still didn't work the word player is highlighted in orange if that makes a difference.

    Thanks
