Collision between a sword and an object

Code (CSharp):

1.     void OnCollisioEnter(Collision collision){
2.         Debug.Log ("COLLISDED");
3.  
4.         if (collision.gameObject.name == "sword") {
5.             DestroyMe();
6.         }
7.    
8.     }
9.  
10.     void DestroyMe(){
11.         if(debre)
12.             Instantiate (debre, transform.position, transform.rotation);
13.        
14.         Destroy (gameObject);
15.  
16.     }

my sword has a box collider on it, and it is tagged "sword".

So when the swords box collider collides with object box collider nothing happens?

Anyone know a good resolve for a simple collision between the two, maths is one, but in terms of components and scripting.

I can provide graphical information if needed.

 

Your script is wrong... it have a N less.

Change this : void OnCollisioEnter(Collision collision){
To this : void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision){


This my test :

Code (CSharp):

1. void OnCollisionEnter(Collision col)
2.     {
3.         print (col.transform.name);
4.         col.transform.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material.color = Color.red;
5.     }

Maybe you need to put rigidbody at leat in one.

 

That's really embarrassing. Thank you, let me check your test. One of the components does have a rigid body.

interesting.

Code (CSharp):

1.     void OnCollisionEnter(Collision col)
2.     {
3.         if (col.transform.name == "Terrain") {
4.  
5.         } else {
6.             print (col.transform.name);
7.  
8.             col.transform.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material.color = Color.red;
9.  
10.         }
11.      }

It sees the Terrain as a collision, but my character and sword have both box components. The object that I want the sword to collide with has a rigidbody, and box collider.

Yet, no collision, only collision between terrain and object.

 

If your object has a tag then you must compare the GO's tag and not the GO's name ... also you can try to use OnTriggerEnter instead.
Like this

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
3. if (other.CompareTag("sword"))
4. // Do your stuff
5. }
6. }
7.  

Additionally, take a look at this comparison table (at the end of the page) http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CollidersOverview.html and check if your rigidbody / collider / trigger configurations are correct.

 

This is good resolve, I only used OnTriggerEnter for my EnemyAI, never thought of applying it to collision.
Thank you for this. I will compare the colliders.
