Make GameObject disappear?

I have a GameObject in my scene that I want to be disabled when a certain onTrigger collider touches it. How would I do this?

 

You can disable the renderer or deactivate the GameObject.

Code (csharp):

1. void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
2. other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
3. //or
4. other.GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = false;
5. }

 

I don't get any errors or anything, but it just doesn't do anything. I have a pretty novice understanding of C# so tell me if there is anything I did wrong. I want it so that the sword collider will disable the player variable...

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Death : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public GameObject sword;
7.     public GameObject player;
8.  
9.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider sword) {
10.         player.gameObject.SetActive(false);
11.         //or
12.         player.GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = false;
13.     }
14. }

 

Remove the Public GameObject sword, there's no need for that.

That script should work, you need to make sure one of the objects that's doing the colliding has a rigidbody attached to it. OnTriggerEnter won't be sent unless one of them is a rigidbody.

 

No problem!
