Particle Trigger Collision

Hi!

I have a question about particle collision detection. I've looked a bit online and there seems to be confusing information regarding Legacy and Shuriken and how to do particle detection.

I have a helicopter that is being chased by a missile. The chopper can shoot flares, and I would like the missile's massive trigger collider to recognize whether it has collided with a particle. From there, I should be able to easily apply a new target on the missile.

I tried putting OnParticleCollision() on the missile, but it returns nothing. I've also tried tinkering with the Collision field in the particle system, and by setting the layer to Missiles.

Does anyone have any insight on this?

Thanks.

 

I had a issue with this a few days back. If u are using shurikan do not use world particle collider in the particle menu itself click on collision field which will give u a dropdown menu.Tick the send msg box in it and that should do the trick.

Script can be attached to the particle itself or the object been hit the object hit must have a collider.
Attach this script if u like to test that its working.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. public class particlehit : MonoBehaviour {
4.     void OnParticleCollision(GameObject other) {
5.         Debug.Log ("hello");    Debug.Break ();
6.     }
7. }
