Question

I have a problem with my static varible, in a collision of my projectile i call it and minus 10 for the damage the projectile does, no i don't know weather its my collision scrip that is wrong or my static var that's not picking it up

this is my collision Code

    var lifespan : float= 0.6;
function Awake() {

Destroy(gameObject, lifespan);

}

function OnCollisionEnter(hit : Collision) {
    Destroy(gameObject);
    if (hit.gameObject.tag == "Enemy1"){
        EnemyStats.enemyHP = EnemyStats.enemyHP - 10;
    }

}

that code is on my projectile it should minus HP when it hits the enemy ?

Do a

Debug.Log("Collision works");

In to the function OnCollisionEnter...

Then in the if statement, put:

Debug.Log("Activate enemyHP Decrease");

Now run, and tell me if both, or only one comes up. Posting as answer so I can format it.

it seems like the problem is with the collision, not the HP after more testing i find i can get the HP to lower in other circumstance but not with that code attached to the variable i wonder if this is because i destroy the variable?

its not because i destroy the object, i moved the destroy code around and still no luck, even tried adding to the lifespan, How would I do a check to see if this initiated object has hit a certain tagged object?

Okay, sorry, I was AFK. Um, just so you know, if you use the Debug.Log, it'll show you where your hitting a problem. Very helpful for the future =).
