I want my arrow to freeze and get stuck to an object upon collision but for some reason my arrow hits an object but then just falls to the ground.

here’s my code im using.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class bowshooting : MonoBehaviour {
public object collision;
GameObject prefab;
void Start () {
prefab = Resources.Load(“arrow”) as GameObject;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
    {
        GameObject arrow = Instantiate(prefab) as GameObject;
        arrow.transform.position = transform.position + Camera.main.transform.forward;
        Rigidbody rb = arrow.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        rb.velocity = Camera.main.transform.forward * 20;
        arrow.transform.rotation = this.transform.rotation;
    }
    
}

// on collision freeze in place and attach to object 
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{

    this.transform.position = collision.contacts[0].point;
    this.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().useGravity = false;
    
    collision.rigidbody.isKinematic = true;
    collision.rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.zero;
    collision.transform.parent = collision.transform;
    collision.transform.localPosition = collision.transform.InverseTransformPoint(collision.contacts[0].point);
    collision.rigidbody.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.FreezePositionX | RigidbodyConstraints.FreezePositionZ | RigidbodyConstraints.FreezePositionY;
}

}

Well, unless this script is assigned to the arrow itself, OnCollisionEnter will never happen when the arrow hits something, it may be triggered when the bow, or whatever object you assigned it to collides.

You need a script for the bow, and a different script for the arrow.

Im a beginner but are you sure you are referencing the arrow here?

this.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().useGravity = false;

might not be getting the actual arrow try using

arrow.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().useGravity = false;
