If statement doesn't seem to be working.

So, this is the code of a platform that can move around and rotate, but when it touches the player it freezes in place, but even if the movePlat variable is set as true, the platform still moves, I can't really pinpoint what's wrong with the code so any help I can get is greatly appreciate.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class RotateWithKeyboard : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.  
4.     [SerializeField] private float speed = .1f;
5.     Vector2 lastClickedPos;
6.     public float followSpeed = 10f;
7.     bool moving;
8.     bool movePlat = false;
9.  
10.     private BoxCollider2D coll;
11.     private void Start()
12.     {
13.         coll = GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
14.     }
15.  
16.     private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
17.     {
18.         Debug.Log("Collided");
19.         if (collision.transform.gameObject.name == "Player")
20.         {
21.             Debug.Log("Collided with player");
22.             bool movePlat = true;
23.             Debug.Log(movePlat);
24.         }
25.        
26.     }
27.     private void OnCollisionExit2D(Collision2D collision)
28.     {
29.         Debug.Log("Player Left Platform");
30.         bool movePlat = false;
31.         Debug.Log(movePlat);
32.  
33.     }
34.  
35.     private void Update()
36.     {
37.         if (movePlat == false){
38.  
39.             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Q))
40.             {
41.                 transform.Rotate(0, 0, -360 * speed * Time.deltaTime);
42.             }
43.             else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E))
44.                 transform.Rotate(0, 0, 360 * speed * Time.deltaTime);
45.  
46.             if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
47.             {
48.                 lastClickedPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
49.                 moving = true;
50.             }
51.             if (moving && (Vector2)transform.position != lastClickedPos)
52.             {
53.                 float step = followSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
54.                 transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, lastClickedPos, step);
55.             }
56.             else
57.             {
58.                 moving = false;
59.             }
60.         }
61.  
62.         if(movePlat == true)
63.         {
64.             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Q))
65.             {
66.                 transform.Rotate(0, 0, -360 * 0 * Time.deltaTime);
67.             }
68.             else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E))
69.                 transform.Rotate(0, 0, 360 * 0 * Time.deltaTime);
70.  
71.             if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
72.             {
73.                 lastClickedPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
74.                 moving = true;
75.             }
76.             if (moving && (Vector2)transform.position != lastClickedPos)
77.             {
78.                 float step = followSpeed * 0;
79.                 transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, lastClickedPos, step);
80.             }
81.             else
82.             {
83.                 moving = false;
84.             }
85.         }
86.  
87.        
88.     }
89. }

 

Code (CSharp):

1.         bool movePlat = true;

You're redefining a second 'movePlat' inside your collision handlers that only exists within the scope of that function.

 

Wait oh my god I'm so dumb, thank you so much man you're a life saver <3
