This is what I have, however the animation plays because I dragged the game object as a child of the the collectable. I just want it to play when its collected!!

usingUnityEngine;
usingSystem.Collections;

publicclassEggBehavior : MonoBehaviour {

voidOnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2Dcollider)
{
Destroy(this.gameObject);
animation.Play("CollectEggEffect");

}

}

 

Not quite sure what you mean. So the animation does play even though you destroy the gameobject? In my understanding, if you destroy the gameobject, the animation tied to the object will get destroyed as well.

What I usually do, is disable the sprite for the "Egg" when it is collected, then play the animation, then when animation is played I can Destroy the Egg gameobject.

Also, if you don't want the animation to play at start, create an idle state and active state for the animation.

hey thx for your reply i really appreciate it, the egg sprite is an animation, what would i say in code to destroy that, would it bw destroy(this.anim) ? i also have the animation of the impact effect attached, do i need to activate via the animator or would a line of code suffice??

 

would this remove the animation?
spriteRenderer.enabled =false;

 

usingUnityEngine;

publicclassExplosion:MonoBehaviour{voidOnAnimationFinish(){Destroy(gameObject);}}

stick this after, should do the job.

I just looked at your monkey game, quite good, how long did it take you?

 

A sprite is a sprite and animation an animation. Can't say that a sprite is an animation . Activating via animator is usually easier, for example

Code (CSharp):

1. animator.SetBool("collected", true);

 

This would probably make your animation invisible if it's tied to the spriteRenderer that you are disabling. But not remove it.

 

If it doesn't work, try this:

I got it sorted thankyou,
