    I have an enemy with a shield prefab as a child. When my ally hits the enemy the enemy takes damage. But when my ally hits the shield the enemy takes damage. The ally knows he hit an enemy by checking the tag. So I tried having him check the tag of the shield but it still damages the enemy. My guess is because the child is following the tag of the parent. What is the best way to get around this?

    Have you tried using this?
    if(hit.collider.gameObject.CompareTag("shield")){

    }

    I did not but I will keep it mind. I ended up making a work around that might help more in the future. I made a equip script where I drop the object into the inspector and then follows the enemy from there. Thank you for the info
