❔ Trigger collisions not being detected?

I am following an official Unity course online, with a lab where you work on your own game, my code looks like it should work but the projectile just passes through the enemy without destroying it

it looks like it should work, right?

Make sure you include a screenshot of the rigidbody and the collider

BigBoot

The gameobject you want to listen to trigger events must have rigidbody component
Buddy

Also the collider component must be set to trigger

Buddy

if you want to listen for trigger events on the projectile, yes.

BigBoot2/21/2023

Buddy

Yes, it usually is an issue.

I recommend this

That way the speed of the projectile does not matter - It will always detect a hit even if it goes (0, 0, -10000).
