Question I want to make a box destroy when the player stands in front of it

Hello, I'm a new User of unity and the programming language of C#. Now I have a problem. I want to make that the Player can destroy boxes when he is standing in front of it and pressing the left mouse button. Now I have tried OnCollision2D, OnCollision and OnCollisionStay, it worked sometimes then when impressing the mouse button and a second is going gone. That's really awful, can anybody help me?

 

Can you post your code? Use code tags please so it is easier to read (look at the text ribbon where it says code)

 

I don't have the code that I wrote before but now I have this:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Destroy : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     private void OnCollisionStay2D(Collision2D collision)
8.     {
9.         string tag = collision.gameObject.tag;
10.         Debug.Log(tag);
11.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
12.         {
13.             if (collision.gameObject.tag.Equals("desBox"))
14.             {
15.                 Destroy(collision.gameObject);
16.             }
17.         }
18.     }
19. }

The code is on my Player

 

Is the function calling at all? Aka, is that first Debug.Log(tag) working?

Do both the Player and the Box to be destroyed have Collider2Ds on them? Make sure neither are set as triggers. One of the objects must have a Rigidbody2D as well.

 

The Debug.Log(tag) is working, but the Stay Method is checking it every 1 seconds, that's very bad

 

Why are you even using collisions? Aren't you just checking if a player is near the box?

 

To add on to Xavier, you can just use OnTriggerEnter2D instead of OnCollision.

 

Why not use a raycast or magnitude?

 

The boxes has no Collisions anymore, how i can fix that?

 

If you are using OnTriggerEnter2D make sure you mark the collider as trigger in the inspector.

 

Yeah but there is no Collision, its not like a wall, I can go towards it, its like noclip

 

So i dont really understand what that means. What is the code you have now?

 

Okay, maybe i know you mean now. That the player isn't hitting a "wall" or the bounds of the collider. That is what happens when you mark a collider as trigger. But when you use the OnTriggerEnter2D or Stay2D with it, the collider still detects something has come in contact, it just doesnt stop them physically.

 

and what I have d oto

 

??? Is it working now? If not, can you post your code?
