Collision problem (65602)

[DoctorMoney]

I’m making a game to just try and learn the ropes of unity as I’m too good with it. I’m making a simple platformer with an up and down moving platform. However when I set the platform to start moving when the player collides with it, nothing happens. I know there’s nothing wrong with my movement script as it works perfectly when I have it set to be on at the start.

If someone could look at my collision code and tell me why nothing’s happening it would be appreciated.

var speed : float;				//speed at which the platform moves
var startOn : boolean;			//If the platform should move at the start
var pause : float;				//How long it pauses for
var onTime : float = 0.0;		//amount of time that the object will move before pausing
var up : boolean;				//direction the platform moves in
var target : Transform;			//What must collide with the platform for it to start moving

function OnCollisionEnter (collision : Collision)
{

	if (collision.gameObject == target)
	{
		if (startOn == false)
		{
		startOn = true;
		}
	}
	
}

function Movement () {

	var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);

		if (up == true)
		{
			controller.Move(Vector3.up * speed * Time.deltaTime);
		}
		
		if (up == false)	
		{
		controller.Move(Vector3.down * speed * Time.deltaTime);
		}
		
	if (Time.time > onTime) {
	
		startOn = false;
		yield WaitForSeconds (pause);
		onTime = Time.time + onTime;
		startOn = true;
		}

}

function Update () {

if (startOn == true)
Movement();

}

Are you parenting your player to the moving platform when he lands on it? That way, it will automatically stand on the platform correctly.

I don’t know what kind of player you’re using, but the player code that comes with Unity does not use a rigidbody, and one of your colliding objects must be a rigidbody for a collision data object to be generated. If that’s what you’re using (the out-of-the-box player), then you should just attach a rigidbody shape to the player so that it will also hit your moving platform at the same time as the player. Is that what’s going on? Let me know.

Also, where are you changing the value of the variable “up”?
