In case anyone is wanting colliders for their enemy ships that fit the body… It’s one of each type of sprite I have sitting in my project at the moment with fitted poly colliders around them. If you need the other colors, just duplicate the prefab and drop the .png file for the appropriate color into the Sprite Renderer component. I’ve removed any scripts and children I had associated with them, so you’ll have to add your own.

EDIT: These are the sprites from the Kenney’s asset pack they are using for the lessons. I’m not using trigger colliders, you’ll need to check the Is Trigger box if you are.

I ran into an issue with this video where my ships were being destroyed by their own laser! I worked out this was because I duplicated the Player Laser and the BoxCollider2D was the culprit. Removing that everything was as per Rick’s video but I found another issue in that workaround: You can’t simply use the same Shredder object at the bottom of the screen to destroy the enemy lasers!

I suspect this’ll get dealt with in future videos though, perhaps by using Tags?

Hi Colton,

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but, looks like you beat me to it ages ago.
Thank you for your hard work. It’s great to be part of such a helpful community. :grin:

Cheers!
