Add a force to a ball using the Boxcolliders AXIS

[rip3rs]

Hello, im pretty new to this, I have googled and tried so many ways, but I cant figure it out.

This is the code I have:

    function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {
    
    	ball = GameObject.FindWithTag ("Player");
    	ball.rigidbody.AddForce (-1000, 0, 0);
    }

this actually works. as long as ball does not rotate the axis X Y.

My questions are:
1- can I use the local axis from the box collider (in this case I want Y local) to say, Ball you will get force from the Y axis of the boxcollider.
I have tried relativeForce and without success.
2- even switching off the collider, the force still exists even though I added only on the onTriggerEnter. why?

many thanks in advance.

If I’ve puzzled through your setup correctly, you want:

    ball.rigidbody.AddForce (transform.up * 1000, 0, 0);

I was doing it wrong,

I feel so embarassed…

function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {
	if (other.tag.Equals("Player")) {
		other.rigidbody.AddForce (-1000, 0, 0);
	}
}

works like a charm. best.
