Destroying object using his name and raycast

Questions & Answers

I have a big problem its driving me crazy so im hoping someone will help me :D

I have this game when i press mouse button 1 it instantiates a cube at the position when the ray hits. This part of the program works fine and looks like that :

if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")&& Physics.Raycast (cam.position, cam.forward, hit, 100)!=false )

{

Instantiate(box,point,Quaternion.identity);

}

Then when i press mouse button 2 the object that the ray hits is destroyed. That part works allso well, too well and it looks like this:

if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2"))

{
    if (Physics.Raycast (cam.position, cam.forward, hit, 100) )
    {   

        if(hit.transform.gameObject)
        {

        Destroy(hit.transform.gameObject);

        }
    }
}

The problem is when i press mouse button 2 it destroys every object the raycast hits like for example the terrain and i dont want that i want it to destroy only the box and not eany other object and i allso dont want to turn on the Ignore Raycast on eny of my objects.

Just check what object you're hitting. For example you could tag your cube as "cube" or "destroyable".

if(hit.transform.gameObject && hit.transform.gameObject.tag == "Cube")
{
Destroy(hit.transform.gameObject);
}

Raycasthit returns you an information that you’ve hitted an object, If you want to destroy a certain object, then you have to tag it and add

if(hit.transform.gameObject && hit.transform.gameObject.tag == "objectTagName")
{
Destroy(hit.transform.gameObject);
}

otherwise it will destroy anything it hits :wink:
