Integer isn't being updated upon gameobject collision

I have a text box that I am trying to use to keep score. To do this, I have a public int that I add 1 to whenever a collision between a bullet and an enemy occurs. However, I am not able to get the text to display the value of the integer, presumably because it is not increasing in value.

Here is my code:

Code (CSharp):

1. public int intScore;
2.    
3.         public Collider2D PurpleSquareCollider; //these are placeholders for enemies
4.         public Collider2D RedSquareCollider;
5.         public Collider2D WhiteSquareCollider;
6.    
7.         public Collider2D BulletLeftCollider;
8.         public Collider2D BulletRightCollider;
9.    
10.         public Text score;
11.    
12.         // Update is called once per frame
13.         void Update()
14.         {
15.             Score();
16.         }
17.    
18.         public void Score()
19.         {
20.             if (BulletRightCollider.IsTouching(PurpleSquareCollider))
21.             {
22.                 intScore++;
23.                 score.text = intScore.ToString();
24.                
25.             }
26.         }

I know my code could only detect a collision between one of the bullets and one of the enemies; this is intentional. However, even that doesn't work.

I'm new to C# as a whole and especially new to C# in Unity, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.,

 

Presumably your condition is always returning false. Possibly there's something wrong with your colliders. Maybe you have some other piece of code that is detecting the collision and removing the bullet and/or enemy before this code runs? Or maybe the two specific colliders you're checking just aren't touching for some reason.

 

That's the thing. The gameobjects are colliding because in each of the gameobjects' scripts I have code to destroy them if they collide with each other. It's just that this particular script is not working.

 

You don't think them suddenly being destroyed might cause them to no longer be in a state of collision when the posted code comes around?

Why not add to the score at the same time they destroy themselves?

 

I would also say I hope this is a single script and not a script on each bullet or something else as each instance of the script would have it's own intScore variable.

 

Then I will repeat myself: "Maybe you have some other piece of code that is detecting the collision and removing the bullet and/or enemy before this code runs?"
