Hitting Lose Collider after 6 seconds

[Ryan_Churchill]

Hello. I’m having the same problem as reported in Lose Collider weirdness. But my ball and paddle both have Z value of 0. Here’s what I’ve done/found so far:

• In LoseCollider.OnTriggerEnter2D, replaced scene change with debug log
  – Debug.Log("Collider hit by " + collision.ToString() + " with transform " + collision.transform.position);
• When I run the game, after 6 seconds, the collider is hit
  – Collider hit by Ball (UnityEngine.CircleCollider2D) with transform (4.3, -0.3, 0.0)
  – Collider hit by Ball (UnityEngine.CircleCollider2D) with transform (1.0, -1.7, 0.0)
• Can still see in the unity properties that Ball and Paddle Z values are 0
• Ball is still on top of the Paddle - there is no visual indication it has fallen through
• Doesn’t matter if I’m moving the paddle or not
• If I turn off the CircleCollider2D on the ball, the Lose Collider hit does not trigger.
• If I comment out “transform.position = paddlePos + paddleToBallVector;” and just keep the ball resting on the paddle, the lose collider hit does not trigger

thanks!

Hi Ryan,

Try to set the collision detection of your ball’s Rigidbody2D component to “Continuous”. If that does not work, try this:

void Start ()
{
    paddleToBallVector = transform.position - paddle1.transform.position;
    myAudioSource = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
    myRigidBody2D = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    myRigidBody2D.simulated = false; // <-------- add this
}

private void LaunchOnMouseClick()
{
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
    {
        hasStarted = true;
        myRigidBody2D.velocity = new Vector2(xPush, yPush);
        myRigidBody2D.simulated = true; // <-------- add this
    }
}

Did this fix it?

Ball > Rigidbody2D > Collision Detection -> Continuous fixed it. Thank you! (Sorry I missed that from the last thread.)
