OnCollisionEnter not getting calle!

Questions & Answers
1

Hello, I’m working on a racing game, and the car has a collider as a child, I’m also using the collider to detect if the car is moving the way

The collider responds well to all objects, however, it doesn’t call the OnCollisionEnter function in the script attached to it.

but if the script is attached to another object that the car collides with, the function gets called

Here is the script

var wrongWay : boolean = false;
static var previousCheckpoint : int;

function OnCollisionEnter (other : Collision) {

Debug.LogError("colldied");
if (other.gameObject.name == "WWCheckpoint 01")
	{
	if (previousCheckpoint == 0 || previousCheckpoint == 10)
		{
		wrongWay = false;
		previousCheckpoint = 1;

	else

		wrongWay = true;

	}


if (other.gameObject.name == "WWCheckpoint 02")

Note that collision events are only sent if one of the colliders also has a non-kinematic rigid body attached.
