Destroy objects without using rigidbody

hey,
as you might have guessed, I wish to have an area where objects with a certain tag gets deleted.
Now I use

Code (csharp):

1. function OnCollisionEnter ( other : Collision )
2. {
3.     if (other.gameObject.tag == "object")
4.     {
5.         Destroy(other.gameObject);
6.     }
7. }

But it requires the objects to have rigidbodies, which I would like to avoid.
Do you have some tips for me?

I'm probably wrong, but isn't there a way to get the name of the collider? In which case you could simply check that instead of a tag?

 

http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.OverlapSphere.html

use that

 

You don't need a Rigidbody, you just need a Collider.

 

If I have this code and remove the rigid body from the instantiated object, nothing happens.

Code (csharp):

1. //For the garbage pit
2.  
3. // Immediate death trigger.
4. // Destroys any colliders that enter the trigger, if they are tagged object.
5.  
6. function OnTriggerEnter ( other : Collider )
7. {
8.     if (other.gameObject.tag == "object")
9.     {
10.         Destroy(other.gameObject);
11.     }
12. }

The object is supposed to be removed when I drag it into the garbage pit. It is tagged with 'object'.
Should it be in an update or something?

 

You are right, it needs a Rigidbody. Sorry, my mistake.

Like spinaljack said, you could use OverlapSphere:

Code (csharp):

1. void Update()
2. {
3.      foreach(Collider c in Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position, radius))
4.   {
5.     if(c.CompareTag("object")) Destroy(c.gameObject);
6.   }
7. }

Sorry for the C#, should be easy enough to translate to unity script

 

thanx jheiling and SpinalJack, it was a very easy implementation and now I dont HAVE to use rigids.

 

Thanks alot. Saved me couple of hours.
Here's a C# code for 2D

private void Update()
{
transform.position = new Vector3(player.position.x - 40, player.position.y, 0f); //object moves with player

foreach (Collider2D c in Physics2D.OverlapBoxAll(transform.position, new Vector2(10, 1), 90f)) //get all the colliders
{
if (c.CompareTag("Wall") || c.CompareTag("Ground"))
Destroy(c.gameObject);
}
}
