Destroying an object when it collides with another

Questions & Answers

I know this is asked often, but I have read pretty much every bit of information on this that I can find, all other Q&As, the resources page etc. and can’t figure this out.

I have an object, SoundSphere, which when it collides with another object should destroy itself, as opposed to the other object.

I’m attempting to use this code, which I modified to fit my project from another Q&A, and is attached to my SoundSphere:

function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision) 
{ 
    if (collision.gameObject.tag == "MonolithicShard")
{ 
// if the hit object's name is MonolithicShard...
        Destroy(collision.gameObject); // destroy it
    }
}

A rigidbody is attached to the SoundSphere, with a sphere collider. The MonolithicShards are tagged as such, and feature mesh colliders which are triggers.

When the SoundSpheres hit the shards they trigger a colour change in the shard, this particular script is attached to the shard. So that aspect of the collision works. I figured I could have the shard destroy the sphere, but I can’t seem to get that to work either, as I can’t figure out how to destroy the particular sphere that has triggered the colour change code.

Sorry for posting yet another question about this topic, but I just can’t solve it. Hope I’ve provided enough information.

Cheers

I believe you may want OnTriggerEnter if your MonolithicShards are triggers.
OnCollisionEnter will only work if both collide, which means NO triggers.
Either take the trigger off the mesh colliders, or try and use OnTriggerEneter
