So I’m a novice, stupid and struggling to figure out why my game isn’t behaving.
Issue##
I’m trying to make a bubble/balloon popper style game and have a Spawner script (Spawner.cs) which holds a pool of objects, this script then selects, at random, one of the objects that’s in the pool. From here another script, which is attached to all of the objects in the pool (Bubble.cs) is supposed to check the Spawner script to see which object is currently selected (safeBubble) and then if this game object matches it should tag it as “Safe”. It does check and set initially but then they don’t de-set/ re-check after that first safeBubble is chosen at the beginning of the game, like it should. The idea being that the safeBubble changes at random intervals and thus the tags on the active bubble gameobject need to change to reflect whether they match said safeBubble.
Code & What I’ve tried##
Here’s my scripts, I though that a simple if statement to set and check the tag in both the Start and Update functions of the Bubble.cs would work but it doesn’t and I’m just not figuring it out .
I’ve tried using a switch, but it has the same result.
Bubble.cs
public class Bubble : MonoBehaviour{
public Spawner spawner;
public float popPoint = 10f;
public float spinSpeed;
public float riseSpeed;
public AudioSource popAudio;
public bool safe;
void Start(){
transform.name = transform.name.Replace("(Clone)","").Trim();
riseSpeed= Random.Range(0.05f, 0.1f);
spinSpeed= Random.Range(0.1f, 0.5f);
if (this.gameObject == spawner.safeBubble) {
this.tag ="Safe";
} else{
this.tag ="Bad";
}
}
void Update(){
if ( this.gameObject == spawner.safeBubble ){
this.tag ="Safe";
} else {
this.tag ="Bad";
}
transform.Translate (Vector3.up * riseSpeed, Space.World);
transform.Rotate (Vector3.right * 2* Time.deltaTime);
transform.Rotate (Vector3.up * spinSpeed* Time.deltaTime);
if(gameObject.transform.position.y >= popPoint ){
gameObject.SetActive(false);
}
}
void Popped(){
// play pop audio
popAudio.Play ();
Debug.Log ("I have been popped");
}
}

Any Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
