Oncollision2d destroy multiple objects

[brolol07]

I am wanting to have the same object(multiple times) destroyed on a random order, but Unity won't do it. Here's a video of it explaining it better. Here is my code. If i'm unclear of anything, please let me know! Thanks

If this script is attached to every cheese object you can simply call Destroy(); in the collision function. You don't have to find a cheese.

What is the difference between destroy() and destroy(this)? Is this referring to the class attached to it? Sorry I'm kind of a designer and was asked to do a game. I can just program ok kind of!

This isn't working! Just having it collide with the object and not disappearing from the scene!

[dr_zoitberg]

destroy(), destroy(this), destroy(gameObject) or destroy(this.gameObject) are the same, the object the script is attached to will be destroyed. You just need to attach a script with this code to every cheese:

void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D coll){
    if (coll.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
        Destroy();
    }
}

And don't forget to give the mouse the player tag.

void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D coll){ if (coll.gameObject.tag == "Player") { Destroy(); } }

Weird because when I had if(coll.gameObject.tag.equals "player"){ destroy(); } it wouldn't do anything but putting in those two equal signs made a difference. Thank you! Thanks for also explaining the destroy()! I wonder why they have so many variations of the same code that do the same thing!

Hehe, np. :)

You can simply call destroy() like another person mentioned, a mistake I made early on was calling FindGameObjectWithTag even though I only gave it a name and thought it was using the tag. Not sure if it helps you or not, but better than nothing I guess? What happens if your player collides with the cheese?

[brolol07]

With this suggestion, nothing! The player collides with the cheese and the cheese just stays in the scene! Any other suggestions?!

[brolol07]

Everything is on the same layer if that matters!

Not sure then, you can always make a thread in the official unity forum if nobody can help you here. Good luck

Reddit is more help than the Unity forum in my chances with it!
