'Game object can't detect others when using collision.gameObject.tag in unity
I have designed a scenario as below: I created an object spawner to collide with things tagged as "ob", using a boolean to manage the timing to spawn new obstacles. Nonetheless, after some testing, I found that it seemed like nothing had ever collided with one another(Judged by the strings I put in the if condition had never shown in the console.) Can't figure out why! Please HELP!!!
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class newObSpawning : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject[] oblist;
private bool hasOb=true;
public float adjustSpawnx;
void Update()
{
if (!hasOb)
{
spawnObs();
hasOb = true;
}
}
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("ob"))
{
hasOb = true;
Debug.Log("hasOb"); //just for testing
}
}
private void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("ob"))
{
hasOb = false;
Debug.Log("hasOb");
}
}
public void spawnObs()
{
int i = Random.Range(0, oblist.Length);
Debug.Log(i);
float y = 7.87f;
GameObject newob = Instantiate(oblist[i], new Vector3(transform.position.x+ adjustSpawnx,y,0), Quaternion.identity);
}
}

Your player doesn't seem to have a Rigidbody2D component. Add Rigidbody2D to your player. A collider can only emit OnTriggerEnter2D or OnTriggerExit2D events if there is a rigidbody on the object too
Solution 2:[2]
You have to tag the object "ob" that you want to register the collision with, most probably, I think what you are searching for is the collision of your player with object spawner so tag the player with "ob".

Are you sure the player has rigidbody component attached? Had the same problem recently because I forgot about it.
