Problem with OnTriggerEnter not triggering

Questions & Answers

Hello,
I’m actually having troubles with a very easy task. Whenever an enemy dies, it spawns a “pick up” item; this item has the following script attached:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PowerUpBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            //do something
            Destroy(this.gameObject);
        }
    }
}

So the idea is: once spawned, the item gets destroyed if the player runs over it. The player has a rigidbody and collider, while the pick up item only has a collider set as “is trigger”. Well, it doesn’t work. The pick up item doesn’t destroy. What’s wrong? Both items have colliders and at least one (the player) has a rigidbody attached. Thank you in advance.

Try this:

if (other.gameObject.tag == "player"){
        //do something
        Destroy(this.gameObject);
}
