Question Trigger issue

Hi guys! I' a noob in the scripting world and i'm tryng to do something but i'm stuck.
I explain to you:
My intention is that when the player approaches the rat object, the rat moves and that when the player moves away, the rat stops.
I have added a child object to the rat (RatTrigger) which determines the action when it is traversed. I have managed to turn the spriterenderer and change the animation from idle to run, but I have not been able to get the rat to move. Can you give me a hand?
I attach the scripts.
Thanks in advance!

 

Absent from the above is all the OTHER things that must happen to get a trigger callback.

Start with the requirements as outlined in the docs for the flavor(s) of OnTrigger you want.

ALSO, for future reference:

If you post a code snippet, ALWAYS USE CODE TAGS:

How to use code tags: https://forum.unity.com/threads/using-code-tags-properly.143875/

- Do not TALK about code without posting it.
- Do NOT post unformatted code.
- Do NOT retype code. Use copy/paste properly using code tags.
- Do NOT post screenshots of code.
- Do NOT post photographs of code.
- ONLY post the relevant code, and then refer to it in your discussion.

 

My first recommendation is to add some logging so you can verify your assumptions. Like is other.tag == "Player" for instance.

I'm a bit curious about the RatController being a singleton but more importantly I tend to think the behavior coded in the RatTrigger should be part of the RatController at least to begin with and should never be in an OnTrigger event. The event triggers some code but generally shouldn't contain the actual code. It makes it harder to test since only the trigger enter can set it off.

In any case if you move the settings you are setting into a public method in the RatController you code toggle it on and off at will.

 

Ok, thank you. Have a nice day!

 

Thanks for your help.
