Bullet hits Trigger to Load Next Level?

[Dmellott]

Hello, I am trying to write a script in which a bullet (prefab) triggers the next level when you shoot the triggerbox.

Currently, the next level does not load when I shoot it but it does load when I walk into it however. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I also have no attachment to these scripts, if someone has a better one from scratch that is absolutely fine!

I have no tags on either the Trigger or the Bullet, they are Untagged and Default.

Here is the script that I have placed on my weapon that spawns the bullet on left click.

And here is the script I have for the Trigger that is supposed to load the next level after being shot.

Try slowing down your bullet a bunch. That way you can be sure it isn’t doing strange things due to speed (which is very common).

Might I suggest using rays? You could shoot out a ray and whatever object it hits send it a message. Then all you do is make sure your button object has (for the example below) a loadNextLevel() method.

// this is c#

// initialize the ray data
RaycastHit theHit = new RaycastHit();
// get the two vectors for the ray
Vector3 fireDirection = gameObject.transform.forward;
Vector3 position = gameObject.transform.position;

// if it hit something within given range
// starts from position and fires toward fireDirection
if(Physics.Raycast(position, fireDirection, out theHit, range)) {
	// tells the hit object to execute a loadNextLevel() method
	// DontRequireReceiver means it won't give you error messages if the hit object doesn't have loadNextLevel() as a method
	theHit.collider.gameObject.SendMessage("loadNextLevel", SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
}
