Detecting collision between two objects without triggers.

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

I want my projectile to knocked down the objects it hits (rigid body vs rigid body) and disappear right after doing that. The only way I can detect a collision via script is by assigning a trigger. The problem is that once I assign a trigger to the projectile it just disappears when touching the object it supposed to knock down without affecting it.

Why do you have to use a trigger? Both objects should have colliders that AREN’T triggers, then just use the OnCollisionEnter function on your bullet.

you should use the collision methods

void OnCollisionEnter(Collision myCollisionInfo)
{

}

you just need to make sure you have Collider attached to the gameobjects you are going to collide

Thanks for the help!

I’m using:

 void OnCollisonEnter(Collision collision)
{
    Destroy(gameObject);
}

And nothing happens, so obviously I’m doing something derpy… :-/

I managed to get this working immediately after posting so I’ll paste it here

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ColliderScript : MonoBehaviour 
{
    void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
    {
        if (other.gameObject.tag == "Enemy")
        {
            Destroy(other.gameObject);
        }
    }
}
