One option is to disable collision on the star immediately after a collision with the ball occurs. To use this on a pooled star, you would need to re-enable the collision when the star is enabled again:
Collider2D myCollider;
private void Awake()
{
myCollider = GetComponent<Collider2D>();
}
private void OnEnable()
{
myCollider.enabled = true;
}
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("White Ball"))
{
// Disable this collider immediately to prevent redundant scoring, sound cues, etc.
myCollider.enabled = false;
ScoreScript.scoreValue += 1;
StartCoroutine(ChangeColor());
}
}
If you decide you need collision on the star while the coroutine is occurring, you can add a field to StarCollision that ensures that the score will only increase once. For a pooled star, again, you would need to ensure that it is reset in OnEnable:
private bool alreadyScored = false;
private void OnEnable()
{
alreadyScored = false;
}
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("White Ball"))
{
if (!alreadyScored)
{
ScoreScript.scoreValue += 1;
StartCoroutine(ChangeColor());
alreadyScored = true;
}
}
}
Ok this doesn't work because it makes the clones of my star game object inactive. (i'm using an object pooler to prevent garbage collection)
Alright thanks man. I tested it a couple of times and it seems to work
