Hi,

Welcome to our community!

If you use a Unity collision method such as OnCollisionEnter or OnTriggerEnter, look the method up in the API. Then click on the parameter type. The parameter is inside the parentheses: void DoSomething (ParameterType parameterName);.

Then check the member list of the parameter type. You will either see name, or you won’t. If there isn’t any name, click gameObject. Then you will see name.

And then you could access the name of the other game object with parameterName.name and parameterName.gameObject.name respectively.

Did this help?

thanks for answer i really appreciate it. but this will give me name of the player.in my case my collision script is attached with the obstacle and when my player collide with the obstacle i am changing the color of the obstacle by using GetComponent but i also want to get the name of the obstacle . here is the code

public class ObjectCollide : MonoBehaviour
{
private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
Debug.Log(other.collider.name);

    GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material.color=Color.red           
}

}

Debug.Log(other.collider.name); this line giving me the name of player not the name of obstacle …

That’s easy.

Log name into your console. If that doesn’t work, try gameObject.name. Your script inherits from MonoBehaviour. That’s why your script object knows the name of the game object to which the object is attached.
