Using OnTriggerEnter with BoxCollider to Destroy and Object

Hello all,

I have this simple script ...

static var Count : int = 0;
var CollectSound : AudioClip;

function OnTriggerEnter (hit : Collider){
Destroy(hit.gameObject);
Count++;
message="We Collided";
audio.PlayOneShot(CollectSound);
}

It is applied to a rotating cube. The cube is using the BoxCollider and is set to 'Trigger'.

I am trying to make it destroy the cube and play the sounds, but I cant get the message to show up, so I must be using the collider incorrectly.

Any ideas here?

Thanks,

Trevor

Everyone, I am posting the answer.

I haven't a single response from anything i've posted, so maybe this will set a trend.

*** Or maybe people just don't like me ... (

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. // Set a counter so you can keep score
3. static var Count : int = 0;        
4.  
5. // Allows you so choose sound clip
6. var CollectSound : AudioClip;  
7.  
8. // Will detect any type of collision
9. // Make sure you set isTrigger on the gameObject this is attached to
10. function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {
11.  
12.  
13.         // Counter integer we are keeping track of how many objects we have collided with in. Good for score keeping, etc...
14.     Count++;                                            
15.  
16.         // For choosing an audio sound to play when collision occurs. Make sure you have also added an audio source on the gameObject.
17.     audio.PlayOneShot(CollectSound);    
18.  
19.     print(Count);                                        
20.  
21.         // Destroys the item you collided with
22.     Destroy(gameObject);                    
23.     }
24.  

I hope this helps someone.

This was very basic, but you wouldn't know by reading the scripting guide that just gives you a single line. And the example they post is above the simplest use (or sometimes there are none at all)

Don't get me wrong, I love unity3d, it's just been challenging to learn to do things even after reading all the docs and going through all posted tutorials.

Thanks,
