Just need simple help

Ok I know this is probably a simple solution to this. And I tried to solved myself.. But I need some help before my head explodes, or I have a stroke. I more of a graphics guy....

I working on very simple collisons.
Basically I'm using the "First Person Controller" for the player
I have added a simple cube(From Unity). I added Rigidbody to the cube.
Basically I am trying to get it when so that when the player collides with the box. A message would display in the debug log.

I have written this script (javascript) and added it to the cube.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function OnCollisionEnter(collision:Collision){
3. if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Player")    
4. {
5. print ("yay it works);
6. }
7. }
8.  

I get no errors, but I also get no display in the console/debug log. So basically nothing is happening. Is their something wrong with the code? Can I get some help please?

 

Just a quick guess, but it looks like you're missing a parenthesis:

Code (csharp):

1. function OnCollisionEnter(collision:Collision){
2.   if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Player")  
3.     {
4.       print ("yay it works");  // missing parenthesis here
5.     }
6. }

 

ty for the reply..
Yeah the parenthesis is there, that just a mistype on my part sorry..

any help I been searching, i just cant find a solution...

 

Hi! maybe this can help.


Character Controller:
http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Components/class-CharacterController.html
"The Controller does not react to forces on its own and it does not automatically push Rigidbodies away."


Some code i found somewhere some time ago!

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. //CharacterCollider.js
4.  
5. // this script pushes all rigidbodies that the character touches
6.  
7. var pushPower = 2.0;
8. function OnControllerColliderHit (hit : ControllerColliderHit)
9. {
10.  
11. var body : Rigidbody = hit.collider.attachedRigidbody;
12. //print("START");
13. var a_layer = hit.collider.gameObject.layer;
14.  
15. if (a_layer != 8 )
16. return;
17.  
18. // no rigidbody
19. if (body == null || body.isKinematic)
20. return;
21.  
22. // We dont want to push objects below us
23. if (hit.moveDirection.y < -0.3)
24. return;
25.  
26. // Calculate push direction from move direction,
27. // we only push objects to the sides never up and down
28. var pushDir = Vector3 (hit.moveDirection.x, 0, hit.moveDirection.z);
29.  
30. // If you know how fast your character is trying to move,
31. // then you can also multiply the push velocity by that.
32.  
33. var p =  (pushPower-body.mass);
34. print(p);
35. if (p < 0 ) pr=0;
36.  
37.  
38. // Apply the push
39. body.velocity = pushDir * p;
40. }
41.  
42.  

Credists to the maker whoever you are

 

thanks to everyone I figured out the problem.
I added a box collider to the Player, and now it works.

For some reason I was assuming that I only needed character controller, but I guess I was wrong.

I knew it was something simple lol.
