Just need simple help

Unity Engine

:sweat_smile:
Ok I know this is probably a simple solution to this. And I tried to solved myself… But I need some help before my head explodes, or I have a stroke. I more of a graphics guy…

I working on very simple collisons.
Basically I’m using the “First Person Controller” for the player
I have added a simple cube(From Unity). I added Rigidbody to the cube.
Basically I am trying to get it when so that when the player collides with the box. A message would display in the debug log.

I have written this script (javascript) and added it to the cube.

function OnCollisionEnter(collision:Collision){
if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Player")    
{
print ("yay it works);
}
}

I get no errors, but I also get no display in the console/debug log. So basically nothing is happening. Is their something wrong with the code? Can I get some help please?

Just a quick guess, but it looks like you’re missing a parenthesis:

function OnCollisionEnter(collision:Collision){
  if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Player")   
    {
      print ("yay it works");  // missing parenthesis here
    }
}

ty for the reply…
Yeah the parenthesis is there, that just a mistype on my part sorry…

Hi! maybe this can help.

Character Controller:

“The Controller does not react to forces on its own and it does not automatically push Rigidbodies away.”

Some code i found somewhere some time ago!

//CharacterCollider.js

// this script pushes all rigidbodies that the character touches

var pushPower = 2.0;
function OnControllerColliderHit (hit : ControllerColliderHit)
{

var body : Rigidbody = hit.collider.attachedRigidbody;
//print("START");
var a_layer = hit.collider.gameObject.layer; 

if (a_layer != 8 )
return;

// no rigidbody
if (body == null || body.isKinematic)
return;

// We dont want to push objects below us
if (hit.moveDirection.y < -0.3)
return;

// Calculate push direction from move direction,
// we only push objects to the sides never up and down
var pushDir = Vector3 (hit.moveDirection.x, 0, hit.moveDirection.z);

// If you know how fast your character is trying to move,
// then you can also multiply the push velocity by that.

var p =  (pushPower-body.mass);
print(p);
if (p < 0 ) pr=0;


// Apply the push
body.velocity = pushDir * p;
}

Credists to the maker whoever you are :smile:

thanks to everyone I figured out the problem.
I added a box collider to the Player, and now it works.

For some reason I was assuming that I only needed character controller, but I guess I was wrong.

I knew it was something simple lol.
