[Solved] C# beginner - Simple "If then disable component" help needed

Hey

I'm really a beginner in C#, and I must say i get lost sometimes even after checking out the basic tutorials
could you help me finish this simple "IF -> and tag is the right one -> disable Component of it"

Code (CSharp):

1. // create AE2D as an AreaEffector2D ?
2. private AreaEffector2D AE2D;
3.  
4.         // if a "shield" is triggered...
5.         if (shield)
6.         {
7.         // and if the contact is with the object with the Right Tag...
8.          if (testContact.CompareTag ("rightTag"))
9.             {
10.                // Disable the Component "Area Effector 2D" of the object(s) with right Tag
11.                // or changing the forceMagnitude to 0              
12.                AE2D = gameObject.GetComponent<AreaEffector2D>();
13.                AE2D.forceMagnitude= 0f;
14.              }
15.         }

I hope i'm not too far from what needs to be done, and that my request is explained well enough.
Thx.

 

Well, I was close to it... the only line that I had to change was

Code (CSharp):

1.              AE2D = testContact.gameObject.GetComponent<AreaEffector2D>();

I'm not sure I completely get why yet, but it seems to be it.
Thx.

 

Use AE2D.enabled = false instead

 

"gameObject" on its own refers to the GameObject that the script is being run on. testContact.gameObject is the same, but for the testContact component.

 

Thx a lot for your answers guys !
