Struggle with vollider detection

Questions & Answers
1

I have a problem that I don’t know how to fic… I’m a noob when it comes to c#. I want a collider to detect a specific gameobject called “stones”, not every object that collides with it. here is the code i have written so far:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class stonecollider : MonoBehaviour {

stonecounter myPlayerScript;
	

    void Awake()
    {
        myPlayerScript = transform.parent.GetComponent<stonecounter>();
    }

	void OnTriggerEnter(Collider theCollision)
    {
       GameObject collisionGO = theCollision.gameObject;
       
        myPlayerScript.theScore++;
    }
}

and the other script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class stonecounter : MonoBehaviour {

    public int theScore = 0;

    void OnGUI()
    {
      GUILayout.Label("Score: " + theScore);
    }    
}

You can check either the name of the object, or the tag. Tagging and checking the tag is more efficient. So you would do something like:

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider theCollision)
    {
       GameObject collisionGO = theCollision.gameObject;

       if (theCollision.name == "stones")
          myPlayerScript.theScore++;
    }
