Collision Tags

Questions & Answers
1

So I have the following code:

 function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) 

{ 
	if (other.gameObject.tag=="GREEN")
		{ 
			greenGemCount+=1; 
		}
}

but my gameObject doesn’t seem to register the collision, even with the “Green” gem having the “GREEN” Tag, however when I comment out the

if (other.gameObject.tag=="GREEN")

it seems to work, yet every “Gem” touched increases the value of greenGemCount. It appears correct? Any help, would be apprecited!

It’s generally advisable to use CompareTag() (see here). For example:

if(other.gameObject.CompareTag("GREEN"))
{
    greenGemCount++;
}

I have found from my own experience that CompareTag is the most reliable way. Also, I’m fairly sure that tags are case sensitve.
