Trying to Detect between 2 different states

Unity Engine
1

Hello I am new to unity and I want to replicate frogger logs on water like system.
My issue is with detecting whenever player is on water or log.
So far best I had was it would test it once correctly but not again and again.

Code for LogDetector:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class LogDetector : MonoBehaviour
{
    public WaterDetector WaterDetector;
    public bool isLog;
    // Use this for initialization
    void Start()
    {
        Debug.Log("Not on log");

     
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
      
    }

    void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
    {
        isLog = true;
        WaterDetector.isWater = false;

        // GetComponent<Wt>().isWater = true;
        Debug.Log("Player on log");
    }
}

And here is my code for waterDetector:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class WaterDetector : MonoBehaviour
{

    public LogDetector LogDetector;
    public bool isWater;
    // Use this for initialization
    void Start()
    {
        isWater = false;
        Debug.Log("Not on water");
        //GetComponent<LogDetector>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {

    }

    void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
    {
        if (LogDetector.isLog == true)
        {
            isWater = false;
        }
        if (LogDetector.isLog == false)
        {
            isWater = true;
            Debug.Log("Player on water");
        }


        if (isWater == true)
        {
            //Destroy(GetComponent<PlayerController>());
            Destroy(other.gameObject);
        }
    }
}

My only question is how can I fix this so it does as I intend it to do. I want it to scan for detection constantly as logs will be moving so player will end up off the logs if he doesnt move with them.

Thanks for help

Use the tag system for this as I quick idea, in the inspector of a gameobject at the top you will see tag and the right if that layer, press the tag combobox to drop it down add a new tag name it whatever you want and select that name.

Now in the collider2d other parameter you should have available tag,

Creating an if statement and look for that name this is what the gameobject has collided with.
