call Script with the same name but other code

[Crxtxcal]

Hello! I want to call a function when 2 objects collide. Im doing this with “collider.getComponent().myClassName()” but now i want to have different code in myClassName. So if GameObject1 collides, it runs the code written in myClassName in GameObejct1 (for example "Debug.Log(“Hello”) and if GameObject2 collides, it runs the code written in myClassName in GameObject2, which is diffrent to the one in GameObject1 (for example Debug.Log(“Bye”). Is there a way to edit the script for every GameObject but with the same name? Or any other way to do this? Sorry for bad explanation.

You can do this trivially with interfaces.

In the example above, your myScriptName type would be the interface, and it would have its “DoYourThing()” method, which could be implemented in two different MonoBehaviour classes, one for each type of thing.

SendMessage is kind of antiquated. The way to do things today is to make an interface. That way you say “is there this interface?” and check if it’s not null, then call the method you want if it is. Don’t be afraid, it’s pretty simple, and it’s way more powerful. Here, soooper-quickly: // stick this in its own file, usually IMyInterface.cs public interface IMyInterface { void MyMethod( int arg1, string arg2); } Now, in whatever Monobehaviors you have, you implement that interface, which ba…

Looks reasonable... you might get some benefit by extracting common methods into some kind of interface, which is a pattern that works really well with Unity and MonoBehaviors. MBs can then implement specific interfaces and be found because they implement those interfaces. For instance, you might have an IAttackable interface that can represent a target that can be attacked. Some of its methods might be "what can hurt you?" and "you have been attacked by ..." This also means when a projectile …
