Using the OnTriggerEnter &comparing tags correctly.

Questions & Answers
1

Hey I know this may seem like a simple task but I’m struggling with it (total noob). I need the code to specify which function to call depending on the tag of the object my character hits. So if it hits a bubble, it calls the “HitsABubble” function… and if it hits a prop, it calls for " HitsAProp" function. At the moment if I hit a prop all is good as it calls the correct function, however when I hit a bubble it calls both functions ! I went into the scripting reference searching for an answer and found the “CompareTag” option but I can’t quite get my head around it. Any help would be greatly appreciated ! this is the current code I’m working with:

function OnTriggerEnter(object: Collider){
	if(object.tag=="bubble")
	HitsABubble();
	else if(object.tag=="prop")
	HitsAProp();
}

CompareTag is a function call (like HitsAProp or OnTriggerEnter) instead of a property (like tag).

function OnTriggerEnter(other: Collider) {
    if(other.CompareTag("bubble"))
    {
        HitsABubble();
    }
    else if(other.CompareTag("prop"))
    {
        HitsAProp();
    }
}
