Function from another script is not called

I have 2 scripts (mouseController and Mover). And mouseController script needs to call function from Mover script.

Here's the code :
1. mouseController script

Code (CSharp):

1. void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider)
2.     {
3.         Mover Mover = GetComponent<Mover> ();
4.         Mover.StopLevel ();
5.     }

2. Mover script

Code (CSharp):

1. public void StopLevel(){
2.         Debug.Log ("StopLevel called");
3.     }

The log is not called so I assume the function is not called.
What's wrong with that?

 

First thing I would try is adding a Debug.Log() in the OnTriggerEnter2D function of mouseController, too. Make sure the collision is being detected.

I don't see anything that jumps out as being incorrect in the code. Move is attached to the same object as mouseController, right?

 

The collision is detected. But, the mover is not attached on the same object. Is that possible to still call it?

 

Just a thought - but first check what Schneider said. This would be an option #2 to try.

The name of the class is Mover.
The name of the variable is called Mover.

Ideally, this should be fine, but maybe change the name of the variable to a lowercase m and see what happens? The compiler should be able to resolve this (I think), but maybe it needs a clean rebuild or something. It may be trying to call StopLevel() as a static function of the class Mover rather than a member of an instantiated Mover class.

Code (CSharp):

1.     void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider)
2.         {
3.             Mover mover = GetComponent<Mover> ();
4.             mover.StopLevel ();
5.         }
6.  

 

Ah, this would be a problem. The way your code is written, its attempting to get a component off the same game object. Are you trying to get it off the game object that collided with the "main" game object?

Code (CSharp):

1.     void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider)
2.         {
3.             Mover mover = collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Mover> ();
4.             mover.StopLevel ();
5.         }

 

Yep. This should do it.

 

That worked! Thanks rnakrani and schenider21!
