how can i change this script to not destroy object but to immoblize it and trigger a smoke or fire effect

var Explosion : Transform;

function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision){

if (collision.gameObject.tag == “Finish”)
{
Destroy(collision.gameObject);

Instantiate(Explosion, transform.position, transform.rotation);
}

}

Um… well you’re asking for a lot of work. The easy answer is that you take out the Destroy() and Instantiate(Explosion) functions and replace them with your own functions to immobilize and start a smoke effect.

E.g.

function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision){
    if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Finish") {
        Immobilize(collision.gameObject); 
        Instantiate(Smoke, transform.position, transform.rotation); 
    }
}
function Immobilize( aGameObject : GameObject) {
    //Immobilization code goes here
}

(And you’d need a prefab called Smoke.)

I can’t answer what should be in the immobilize function because I don’t know how you do movement or input in your game.

For how to create a Smoke prefab, you should do a search for smoke particle effects in unity. It’s likely someone has a good starting point.
