Unable to Detect and/or Point Tally count using Unity 5 Beta.

I have the following:



Assume I am a butterfly and I am roaming around any given scene -- Upon collision I send a tally count to 2 different Text "Label" instances... GUI template -- I have two different kinds of flowers:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.  
3. //public label object ** new!!
4.  
5. public Text dahliaTokenLabel;
6.  
7. public Text orchidTokenLabel;
8.  
9. // init both to 0 by default.
10.  
11. private uint dahliaTokens = 0;
12.  
13. private uint orchidTokens = 0;
14.  
15. //Here's the chunk that puzzles me. I evaluate a traditional OTE2D on a a simple 2D coll.
16.  
17. void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D flowerCollider)
18.  
19.     {
20.         //The main 'player' instance senses each "flower" token collider (is-trigger) and sets-up the  flower tally.
21.    
22.         //Tag-Comparison token collission.
23.    
24.         if (flowerCollider.gameObject.CompareTag("dahlias")) {
25.    
26.             CollectDahliaTokens(flowerCollider);
27.    
28.         }
29.         else if (flowerCollider.gameObject.CompareTag("orchids")) {
30.    
31.    
32.             CollectOrchidTokens(flowerCollider);
33.         }
34.    
35.         //if all else fails...the butterfly stumbles upon a liar
36.    
37.         SwallowedByLizard(flowerCollider);
38.  
39.        
40.     }
41.  

So the butterfly is able to move around the scene but it fails to acknowledge which is which, much less send the tally to the new GUI table.

Code (CSharp):

1. void CollectDahliaTokens(Collider2D dahliaCollider)
2.     {
3.         //up the tally
4.         dahliaTokens++;
5.    
6.         //destroy -- maybe i shouldn't...same with the next block.
7.         Destroy(dahliaCollider.gameObject);
8.  
9.         //...do something
10.    
11.    
12.         //here
13.         dahliaTokenLabel.text =dahliaTokens.ToString();
14.     }
15.  
16.     void CollectDodecatokens(Collider2D orchidTokenCollider) {
17.    
18.         //+1
19.        orchidTokens++;
20.    
21.         //...hmmm
22.         Destroy(orchidTokenCollider.gameObject);
23.    
24.         //do something
25.    
26.         //point, or pass, the instance to the label object
27.  
28.         orchidTokenLabel.text = orchidTokens.ToString();
29.    
30.    
31.     }
32.  

The butterfly flies over the flowers, collision is not detected, but interestingly enough, it DOES recognize the Lizard Collider. It does gets "swallowed by the lizard."

hmmmm.....

 

I think this is quite relevant
