I cant tell whether im just being stupid or my unity is broken. I’ve watched almost every tutorial i can find and this always seems to work for them. here is my script;

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class collectables : MonoBehaviour {
public bool test;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () 
{
	test = false;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () 
{

}
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
	if (other.gameObject.name == ("Cube")) 
	{
		test = true;

	}
}

}

thanks

This question gets asked a lot, and the response is always the same…

  • Do you have colliders attached to both objects?
  • Not marked as “Is Trigger”?
  • Do you have a rigidbody attached to at least one of the objects?
  • Not marked as “Is Kinematic”?
  • Is the other object with which you’re colliding called “Cube”?

If you answered “no” to any of these questions, there’s your problem…

Brilliant checklist :D

It turns out that the problem was that my cube was a child of another object. I don’t know how to change the settings so my script works though
