Collectable game object isnt being destroyed?

Questions & Answers

Hello! So I recently followed a tutorial by Jimmy Vegas to make a collectable game object, from what i know, the code is correct and exactly as it is in the video, including the names. here’s the code

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class ScoringSystem : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject scoreText;
    public int theScore;
    public AudioSource collectSound;

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        collectSound.Play();
        theScore += 50;
        scoreText.GetComponent<Text>().text = "SCORE: " + theScore;
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}

My issue is that the game object that is being collected isnt being destroyed as it should be, neither is the sound playing, both game objects have colliders (Character controller and Box collider). I made sure the collider was set as a trigger and that the objects didnt have rigidbody. Im pretty lost right now, specially since this is for a project due tommorow, so help as fast as possible is appreciated. Thanks!

In order for OnTriggerEnter to be called, at least one of the colliding objects must have an active Rigidbody, meaning isKinematic = false. Also, make sure only one of the objects’ colliders is set to isTrigger = true. If both colliders are triggers, OnTriggerEnter will not be called.

Hope this helps!

EDIT: I found out that it doesn’t matter whether isKinematic is true or not. Rigidbodies will affect collisions regardless. So OnTriggerEnter will be called if one object just has any rigidbody.

UPDATE : The player does have rigidbody, set to kinematic. would that be an issue?
