OnCollisionEnter2D not working

Hi.

It is only me or

Code (csharp):

1. OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other) { }

is not working!?

- I have Rigidbody2D attached
- There are a Circle Collider 2D attached with "IsTrigger" = false

I have 2 objects with the same properties. WhenI touch each other, OnCollisionEnter2D don't work.

Ps.: OnTriggerEnter2D is useless to me. I need contacts points.

 

It works just fine. Post some screenshots of your inspector for the object you are debugging and I will try to help.

 

Sure. here they are:


The Rock Code:

Code (csharp):

1.   void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other) {
2.     Debug.Log("Test");
3.     if (other.gameObject.tag == "Boundary")
4.       return;
5.  
6.     if (Array.FindIndex<string>(Properties.Tags_Damaging, x => x == other.gameObject.tag) >= 0) {
7.       // the other object can be hit.
8.       Destroy(other.gameObject);
9.     }
10.  
11.     if (Properties.Explosion_Prefab)
12.       Instantiate(Properties.Explosion_Prefab, other.contacts[0].point, Quaternion.identity);
13.   }

the Laser Code:

Code (csharp):

1. void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other) {
2.     Debug.Log("test");
3.     if (other.gameObject.tag == "Boundary")
4.       return;
5.  
6.     if (other.gameObject.tag != Tag_Owner) {
7.       // particle effects
8.       if (Properties.Explosion_Prefab)
9.         Instantiate(Properties.Explosion_Prefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
10.  
11.       // destroy
12.       Destroy(gameObject);
13.     }
14.   }

None print "Test" on the Console

 

Try turning off isKinematic. For some reason isKinematic also disables collisions and triggers when used in 2D. It's been causing me trouble too, as there currently is no easy way to trigger between two objects that are kinematic.

 

+1, very annoying but it's true. If you don't want physics affecting your gameobjects set gravity scale to 0.

 

Well...

Code (csharp):

1. Gravity Scale = 0
2. isKinematic = false

but for some reason, my objects are being moved without any code to do it or gravity to affect them. Well... one problem goes, another comes... hehehe. aahh :sad:

#Edit#
My Boundary which check the limits! him is the problem. I'm using a Cube covering all the playable area (without mesh, only collider), so that way i can use Parallax bounds. When a object touch the limit, it is transported to the otherside (exemple: reach the right limit, you get to the left limit). I check this using OnCollisionExit.

If there is an object inside other collider, it will be moving. I'll have to change my Parallax limits idea.

Thanks you guys so much!!!!

 

Also if you change scale property of 2D sprite then collision get messed up and physics start feeling jerky. I heard there is a problem with box2d and Unity transform property change but not sure.

 

Probably it's too late... But if you check the box/option "Use Full Kinematics Contacts" in the inspector it may work, it actually worked for me

 

I know your answer was not correct for the OP, since they didn't have that option back then, but this solved a big headache for me yesterday. Thank you!

 

To wayward travelers searching bugs on Google, check out Physics2D.IsTouchingLayers.

 

Things like this can really be frustrating, being that upgrading one of 2D games made to a higher version of Unity, I guess you would expect things to break, but after 1.5 hrs of debugging why my 2D collisions just don't work, I simply tick the box "Use Full Kinematics Contacts" and it works like it should.

I should refer to the manual much more often, and sooner rather than 1.5hrs later:

@MelvMay I can't tell you whether this tick box was enabled or not prior to upgrading, I have to assume it was, as my collision detection was working with no issues, and then just stopped working after upgrading. As for your quote "This option isn't a "fix" for anything", I guess if you say so, but it did fix my issue. Could you elaborate beyond the documentation what it is for?

-Larry

 

To any other n00bs like me, if you're using kinematic mode you probably want `OnTriggerEnter2D` instead.

Or switch to Dynamic if you want to use OnCollisionEnter2D

"Collision" is explicitly meant for things bonking into each other, which you probably don't want if you're not making something with physicality that responds to forces

 

Hi! I tried almost every solution provided in this thread and still no results. I’ll attach the trigger code below and some screenshots of my inspector options. Oh and btw I've started Unity development just a week ago so I'm a pretty big noob.

Code (CSharp):

1. private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other){
2.         if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player"){
3.             Debug.Log("TOUCHED");
4.  
5.             Destroy(this.gameObject);
6.         }
7.     }

(this was the enemy code because I want him to destroy itself when touching the player)

Very grateful to anyone that can help me!
Thanks!

 

I tried every solution but none of them worked. I have a solution.

It is 0.02 by default change to lower numbers like 0.001.
