Setting variable in Switch or Method

[setablaze777]

When I did the challenge for this lecture I put the isTransitioning = true within my switch vs within the method the switch case is calling (like Rick did in the video). Is there a reason to do this in the method vs within the switch? Both work.

Example:

 void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other) 
    {
       if (!isTransitioning)
        {
            switch (other.gameObject.tag)
            {
            case "Friendly":
                break;
            case "Finish":
                StartSuccessSequence();
                isTransitioning = true;
                break;
            default:
                StartCrashSequence();
                isTransitioning = true;
                break;
            } 
        }
    }

Hi,

I do not see any reason why you should not solve the problem like this. If you like your solution, feel free to keep it.

The only problem would be if you call one of those methods from somewhere else, it will not update the isTransitioning variable, but since we are not it should be fine
