missile doesn't move

Questions & Answers
1

the missile doesnt move or look at the target, it just sits there and then explodes after 10 seconds
heres the script:

var target : Transform;
var explosion : GameObject;
var activated = 1;

function Start () {
Invoke("Destroy",10);
}

function Update () {
if(activated == 1){
transform.Translate(Vector3.forwards * Time.deltaTime * 20);
transform.LookAt(target);
}
if(activated == 1){
if(Vector3.distance(transform.position,target.position)<= 10){
activated = 0;
}
}
}

function OnCollisionEnter () {
Destroy();
}

function Destroy () {
Instantiate(explosion,transform.position,transform.rotation);
Destroy(gameObject);
}

Are you getting any warnings or errors?
Maybe at:
Invoke(“Destroy”,10);

Besides that I don’t see why it shouldn’t work.

Edit: Oh, and check if the distance between the missile and the target really isn’t smaller than 10

There’s a typo in this line:

  transform.Translate(Vector3.forwards * Time.deltaTime * 20);

It should be Vector3.forward, not Vector3.forwards: this error causes an exception that aborts the rest of the routine, thus nothing else happens (excluding the tons of error messages popping in the console view)
