Question

I have a cylinder using a mesh collider and rigid body. I also have 2 blocks(cubes) as goals. The cylinder's tag is "SodaCan" The block's tags are "Goal1" and "Goal2"

I created a script called "GoalDetection" and attached it to "Goal1" and "Goal2" GoalDetection uses this exact code:

function onCollisionEnter(other : Collision) {
      if (other.gameObject.tag == "SodaCan") {
            Debug.Log("Goal Scored");
      }
}

My problem is that even when the soda can is right on top of either goal "Goal Scored" is not printed.

Does anybody know any solutions or what i did wrong?

I am using unity iphone

You probably need to capitalize the 'O', like this:

function OnCollisionEnter(other : Collision) 
{ 
    if (other.gameObject.tag == "SodaCan") 
    { 
        Debug.Log("Goal Scored"); 
    } 
}

Do you have triggers set up on your goal objects? I.e. colliders with the "is trigger" checkmark added?

No should I put a trigger?

Re-read the documentation I linked to you, specifically this point: "OnCollisionEnter is called when this collider/rigidbody has begun touching another rigidbody/collider."

So if your goals don't have either rigidbodies or colliders, OnCollisionEnter won't get called.
