Question

Is there any other was to detect collisions between two objects other than this:

function OnTriggerEnter(collision : Collider) { 
   if(collision.gameObject.tag=="Player"){ 
      print("hit"); 
   } 
}

The problem with that is that it requires one of the objects to be a trigger meaning that physics do not apply to it. In the context of my application it means one object will pass through another which i don't really want.

Thanks in advance

function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision) {
if(collision.gameObject.tag=="Player"){ 
print("hit");
 }
}

Description OnCollisionEnter is called when this collider/rigidbody has begun touching another rigidbody/collider

I actually looked at this earlier but it didn't seem to work. Is there something about the objects that I have to change? It just never says "hit"

Maybe you don't have colliders/rigidbodies or they're triggered..

I'm using a sphere and box collider. The following code is applied to them:

function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision) { print("hit1"); if(collision.gameObject.tag=="Player"){ print("hit2"); } }

Neither hit1 or hit 2 are printer. its rather odd.

Check if they're trigged. if they're not, try to use a rigidbody.

How odd, I use rigidbody on one of them with the default settings and it works. I change the settings so the block doesn't move and it stops working. Hmmmmm...

You can use OnTriggerenter, OnTriggerStay, OnTriggerExit, OnCollisionEnter, OnCollisionStay, OnCollisionExit :).
