Collision Suggestions?

Unity Engine

anyone have any ideas on how to get collision working correctly?

var projectile : Rigidbody;
var speed = 60;
var Damage = 4;
var range = 1000;
private var hit : RaycastHit;

function Update () 
{		
	if( Input.GetButtonDown( "Fire1" ) )
	{
		var instantiatedProjectile : Rigidbody = Instantiate(
			projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation );
			
		instantiatedProjectile.velocity =
			transform.TransformDirection( Vector3( 0, 0, speed ) );
			
		Physics.IgnoreCollision( instantiatedProjectile. collider,
			transform.root.collider );

		Fire();
		
	}
}


function Fire ()
{

	var direction = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
	var hit : RaycastHit;


	if (audio)
	{
		audio.Play();
	}
	
	if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, direction, hit, range)) 
	{				
		hit.collider.SendMessageUpwards("ApplyDamage", Damage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
	}
	
}

this doesn’t seem to be transferring damage to the target… even though i have this on the targets:

function Detonate ()
{
	Destroy(gameObject);
}

function ApplyDamage (damage : float)
{
	if (totalhealth <= 0.0)
		return;
	
	totalhealth -= damage;

	if(totalhealth<= 0.0)
	{
		Detonate();
	}
}

Any ideas guys?

Are you sure you want SendMessageUpwards here rather than SendMessage?

i realized that i don’t want to sendmessageupwards because the colliding class is not a parent or ancestor of the originating collider… how would the syntax for sendmessage to an unrelated class… and a specific instance of that class that the projectile’s rigidbody collision with the class’s rigidbody work?
