Flash Light

I have a gameobject called Personaje and a child called flashlight who have a script(turnonof) that turn on and of this light
I want to create a flashlight object with a trigger so when i pass trough i pick it up and then i can turn on and off my light.

This is the code i'm using to the Personaje


void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Linterna") {
Destroy(other.gameObject);

}
}

so when it pass trough the linterna item(the flashlight) is destroid, but i dont know how to call the metod that is inside the personaje child (turnonof) wich mark it like "i got a Flashlight" so i can turn it on and off

The code of the TurnOnOff is


public class LightOnOff : MonoBehaviour {
bool Encendida=false;
bool Item=false;
public Light luz;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if(Input.GetKeyDown("mouse 1")&&(Item==true)){
Encendida = !Encendida;
if (Encendida == true){
luz.enabled=true;
}
else{
luz.enabled=false;
}
}
}

public void AgarraLinterna(){
Item = true;
print ("entro");
}
}

Need Help =)

 

Can i declare ITEM like Static
and in personaje write
LightOnOff.Item =true;
?
wich's the disadvantage?

SendMessage maybe?

 

if the skript with OnTriggerEnter is on the same gameObject with the LightOnOff you can do the following:

Code (CSharp):

1. void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
2.         if (other.gameObject.tag == "Linterna") {
3.             ((LightOnOff )(GetComponent(typeof(LightOnOff)))).Item = true;
4.             Destroy(other.gameObject);
5.        
6.         }
7.  

or you could add LightOnOff as an variable and drag the gameobjet wich has LightOnOff on it in inspector:

Code (CSharp):

1. public LightOnOff myligthSkript;
2.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
3.         if (other.gameObject.tag == "Linterna") {
4.             myligthSkript.Item = true;
5.             Destroy(other.gameObject);
6.        
7.         }
8.  

also try to write all variable names small in the first letter

 

But i havent got the object to use that.

And the problem with the second code is that lightonoff and OntriggerEnter are not in the same gameobject (lightonoff) is on the light object

 

edit:
nvm you destroy the other gameObject
like i said you need to store it in a variable
