Shrinking an Object

Questions & Answers

I’m trying to shrink something when it comes in contact with another object and I have no idea why it isn’t working. If you could help me it would be appreciated. Thanks!
Here’s the code that should shrink the game object:

	public float targetScale = 0.1f;
	public float shrinkSpeed = 2f;

			gameObject.transform.localScale = Vector3.Lerp(gameObject.transform.localScale, new Vector3(targetScale, targetScale, targetScale), Time.deltaTime*shrinkSpeed);

Try this:

private float curScale;
public float startScale;
public float shrinkSpeed;

void Update() {
    curScale = Mathf.MoveTowards(curScale, startScale, Time.deltaTime * shrinkSpeed);
    gameObject.transform.localScale = new Vector3(curScale, curScale, curScale);
}
