Help in Javascript destroying Objects using character controllers and conditionals

Questions & Answers

Ok so I know I’m on the right track… I just know I need some help with some coding or someone to point me in the right direction. Here is the situation: Both players labeled as player 1 and player 2 are using character controllers to control them and when one is active the other is inactive (characters change when collecting a powerup). They are rigidbodies and the enemy is a rigidbody as well. When player one collides with the enemy (who has a trigger attached to him) I want player one to be destroyed and when player 2 collides with the enemy I want the enemy to be destroyed. Here is the code I’m working with… I know it’s wrong but that’s why I’m reaching out :slight_smile:

private var enemy : GameObject;

private var player1: GameObject;

private var player2: GameObject;

function OnControllerColliderHit(hit: ControllerColliderHit){

enemy = GameObject.FindWithTag(“enemy”);

player1 = GameObject.FindWithTag(“Player1”);

player2 = GameObject.FindWithTag(“Player2”);

while (player1.active = true) {

if (hit.rigidbody){

Destroy (player1);

}

}

while (player2.active = true) {

if (hit.rigidbody) {

enemy.SetActiveRecursively(false);

}
}
}

I know the while (player1.active = true) is a boolean and this cannot work but I left it in there to show you what i’m trying to accomplish. I just don’t know what to use at this point in the script. Thank you for any help or tips :slight_smile:

private var enemy : GameObject;
private var player1: GameObject;
private var player2: GameObject;

function OnControllerColliderHit(hit: ControllerColliderHit){
    if(hit.rigidbody){
        if(player1.active)
            Destroy(player1);
        if(player2.active)
            enemy.SetActiveRecursively(false); 
    }
}

There is no reason to use a while loop(use simple if statements instead), or check the same condition twice with only different “sub-conditions”.
