onTriggerEnter Refuses to Pickup Cube Game Object

Questions & Answers

Perhaps this is a really stupid issue and I’m overlooking something here, but this has managed to stump me for several days now. I’ve just picked up Unity (and Javascript, for that matter) and I’m using a tower defense tutorial, and the particular bit of code (I think) which is tripping me up is as follows:

function onTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
{
	nextFireTime = Time.time+(reloadTime * 5);
	myTarget = other.gameObject.transform;
}

The nextFireTime bit is irrelevant; it’s the myTarget part that’s screwing me. I don’t know what to say, it simply refuses to recognize anything has entered the trigger and fails to change the value for the myTarget variable, thus rendering the whole script useless. The entity I’m putting into the trigger is a simple cube with a rigidbody (which as I understand is necessary).

Any help would be much appreciated, and I’ll gladly provide any info I’ve failed to include. Cheers.

If this is the code, there’s a typo: its OnTriggerEnter, not onTriggerEnter (such a function would never be called). Anyway, a static trigger can detect rigidbodies and CharacterControllers that enter it; if it’s a moving trigger, you must add a kinematic collider - this will make it able to detect any collider that it touches.
