Hi all, I am trying my hand at trying to make an Arkanoid Game. I am trying to get the paddle to work like how they do in most of these games, that is, the sides make the ball bounce at a different angle.
The way I am trying to achieve this is by adding three child objects (PaddleLeft, PaddleMiddle and PaddleRight) to the parent Paddle game object and each child defines a collider for the three parts of the paddle (Left side, Middle and Right side).
I’ve now created a public collider array for the paddle to accept each of these child objects into the array.
However when I try to drag and drop the child objects into the collider array, it doesn’t work. The inspector simply doesn’t identify these objects as colliders I guess.
So my question is how do I make the inspector identify these objects as colliders? Am I missing a component for the child objects that allows them to be identified as colliders?
Or how do I create multiple colliders to a game object, each with its own behaviours?
Here is my paddle and on the side you can see the hierarchy. The Paddle has a paddle script attached to it which has an array of Colliders called colliders. I’ve defined the size as 3 and I am trying to add each of its child objects to it which the inspector (or Unity?) doesn’t allow me to. Why?
In answer to your question, "Am I missing a component for the child objects that allows them to be identified as colliders?" - we can't tell as you're not showing us the make-up of the child objects. They would each need to have a collider component (of some sort) in order to be dragged onto your collider fields.
