Making the object collide while moving in the forward dir. (Vector3.forward)

[Ziad]

i’m making an object move in the forward direction i used this

        if (target)
    {
        var distance = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, target.position);
        transform.LookAt(target);
        if (distance > 2)
        {
            transform.position += transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime * 10);
        }
    }

but the problem is that i want the object to collide with the other object but it doesn’t

please tell me how to do it

You are telling the object where to go instead of allowing it to figure out where it needs to go. When you tell it

Transform.position +=…

It tells the object where it needs to be. So even if it collides with something, it can not stop because you are telling it “go here”

If you have a rigidbody and you wish to move it forward, but you want it to stop or bump into things that changes its velocity or direction, you will have to use “AddForce”
You can check the documentation on how to use it but its something like

private var ThisRigid : Rigidbody;
function Start(){
ThisRigid = rigidbody;
}

function Update(){
ThisRigid.AddForce(Vector3.Forward*10*Time.deltaTime);
}

or something liek that, again check the documentation, I am not around Unity.

If you have a character controller you need to use the Move function. in order to have it collide with stuff. Check Character Controller if this is the case.
