How to Subtract the score

Questions & Answers

Hey guys, I’m making a prototype game for one of my uni module’s. Its a simple game where the player has to try and catch the spawning object. I’ve got the score to increment by 1 but how do I go about taking the score away if the player misses the object.

code
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Score : MonoBehaviour 
{
	public GUIText SugarProductionText;
	private int SugarProduction;


	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () 
	{
		SugarProduction = 0;
		SetSugarProductionText();
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
	{
		if(other.gameObject.tag == "Sugar")
		{
			other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
			SugarProduction = SugarProduction + 3;
			SetSugarProductionText();
		}
		else if(other.gameObject.tag == "Terrain")
		{
			other.gameObject.SetActive(true);
			SugarProduction = SugarProduction - 1;
			SetSugarProductionText();
		}
	}

	void SetSugarProductionText()
	{
		SugarProductionText.text = "SugarProduction" + SugarProduction.ToString();
	}
}

I tried applying a tag to the terrain, so if the object spawning touches the terrain the player score would go down, but it doesn’t.

Is this script attached to the player? Because your two collision tests currently look for collision between this object and “Sugar” and with “Terrain”… (i.e. it does not test anywhere whether “Sugar” collides with “Terrain”, which I think is what you’re describing).

It sounds like your script would be better attached to the sugar object, and have conditions in OnCollisionEnter to test for collisions with “Player” and with “Terrain”.
