Sprite not Appearing in Unity 2D Game

I'm creating a 2D Top Down game for practice and I need a little bit of help. For context, it's a 2D Top Down Shooter game, where you can move and shoot enemies. The enemies have a basic radius system where if the player gets within the radius, it'll approach the player.
Now I'm making a game mechanic where the player can hide in a cardboard box, the player can press 'E' and he'll suddenly become a cardboard box, where if the player is in the cardboard box, the enemy doesn't detect him even if the player's within the radius. Yes, just like in Metal Gear. Now I've created the prefabs and everything and functionality-wise, it works perfectly. If you press 'E' the enemy cannot detect you.
Now the small problem is that the cardboard box didn't appear, so it's just the player disappearing entirely. I do not know what caused this problem.
For context, these are my scripts. Feel free to read them, or not :)

{
switch(other.gameObject.tag)
{
case "Wall":
Destroy(gameObject);
break;
case "Enemy":
Destroy(gameObject);
other.gameObject.GetComponent<EnemyController>().DestroyEnemy();
break;
}
}
}
I've tried tinkering my scripts, I've tried checking if there are any missing components in the cardboard box game object but to no avail. Although I might be wrong on the Unity part since I'm fairly certain that the script isn't the problem here, again might be wrong.
I appreciate all the help I can get, thank you for reading until here

How do I stop infinite jumping in 2D unity?

so I started unity literally yesterday meaning this is my second day. I followed a tutorial to make a movement script, but when I continuously press space, I can jump like infinitely. This is my code below, is there any way to fix the infinite jump to just two jumps and then it resets when it hits the ground?
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private float speed;
private Rigidbody2D body;
private void Awake()
{
body = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
private void Update()
{
body.velocity = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed, body.velocity.y);
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
body.velocity = new Vector2(body.velocity.x, speed);
}
}

You can prevent this by adding time delay
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
[SerializeField] private float speed;
[SerializeField] private float jumpTimeDelay = 0.5f; // feel free to increase or decrease
private const float timeDelayConst = jumpTimeDelay;
private bool isGrounded = false;
private Rigidbody2D body;
private void Awake() {
body = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
private void Update(){
body.velocity = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed,
body.velocity.y);
isGrounded = jumpTimeDelay <= 0;
jumpTimeDelay -= Time.time;
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) && isGrounded){
body.velocity = new Vector2(body.velocity.x, speed);
jumpTimeDelay = timeDelayConst;
}
}
}

This is easily done by adding a boolean value to check if the player is grounded or not and change the value when player jumps. You also need to add a tag to your ground object so we can check if the player is touching the ground. To add tags to objects please refer to Unity - Manual: https://docs.unity3d.com/530/Documentation/Manual/Tags.html
Just for future these kind of questions are asked a lot so you can pretty much google your question and find similar answers.
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private float speed;
private Rigidbody2D body;
private bool isGrounded = true;
private void Awake()
{
body = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
private void Update()
{
body.velocity = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed, body.velocity.y);
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
{
if (isGrounded)
{
isGrounded = false;
body.velocity = new Vector2(body.velocity.x, speed);
}
}
}
private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Ground") {
isGrounded = true;
}
}
}

Player not jumping. Unity RigidBody2D

When I press my jump key, the player doesn't jump but the Debug message I added does print in console.
My code:
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called before the first frame update
private Transform transform;
private Rigidbody2D rb;
private bool onground = false;
public float speed;
public float momentum;
public float jumpForce;
void Start()
{
rb = gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
transform = rb.transform;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
Vector3 movement = new Vector3(moveHorizontal, 0, 0);
transform.position += movement * Time.deltaTime * speed;
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && onground)
{
Jump(jumpForce);
}
}
private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
if (collision.collider.tag == "Floor")
{
onground = true;
Debug.Log("Player Is On Ground!");
}
}
private void OnCollisionExit2D(Collision2D collision)
{
if (collision.collider.tag == "Floor")
{
onground = false;
Debug.Log("Player Is Not On The Ground!");
}
}
private void Jump(float force)
{
rb.velocity = Vector2.up * force * Time.deltaTime;
Debug.Log("Player Has Jumped!");
}
}
the player can move but not jump and haven't found any posts anywhere with a similar issue, I might not be looking hard enough or searching the correct thing but I just cannot find a solution to my problem.

First of all, you move the player by transform component but trying to jump by physics (rigidbody), it isn't a good idea and I recommend you to work only with rigidbody in this case. Also the multiply jump force by Time.deltaTime doesn't have a sense because you call the method from FixedUpdate(), I assume that the power of jump is too week to see the result so try to remove Time.deltaTime and increase the jumpForce value.

Unity how to "power bounce" one object from another relative to it's angle?

I'm working on a simple 3D game where some balls (fixed Z position) fall along a path (using gravity and physics material) to a small flat platform and "power bounce" off this platform. The player can rotate this platform so I want to recreate a realistic bounce direction according to the platform's angle.
I'm new to coding but so far I've figured the relationship between the vector of the ball as it comes into collision with the platform and the platform's normal, which should be a perpendicular line from the surface and that can be used to reflect the ball's vector to the other direction.
I already used OnCollisionEnter and if statement to detect whether it's the platform you are colliding with, but I don't understand where to indicate the normal of the surface and how to access it. Should it be as a public class in the other object or can it be detected from the ball game object?
I tried some examples from this and other websites and got this far:
public class OnCollision : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 25f;
public Rigidbody rb;
private Rigidbody rigid;
private void Start()
{
rigid = transform.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
if (collision.transform.tag == "BouncePad") {
rb.velocity = transform.up * speed;
}
}
}
Now it bounces off vertically, so I'm guessing I should change the code where the transform.up * speed part is.
Could anyone guide me, please?
Much appreciated.

If you are already using Physics material, look into the Bounciness property. A value of 0 means no bounce, a value of 1 will lead to no loss of energy. The angle of the bounce will be calculated for you. Make sure you drag the physics material onto each object-- both the ball and the wall's material will have an effect.

Finally somebody gave me a hand and came to this solution:
public class Bounce : MonoBehaviour
{
public Rigidbody rb;
public float str = 0.21f;
public float str2 = 0.15f;
// Start is called before the first frame update
private void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision col)
{
if (col.gameObject.tag == "BouncePad")
{
rb.AddForce(rb.velocity * str, ForceMode.Impulse);
}
if (col.gameObject.tag == "BouncePad2")
{
rb.AddForce(rb.velocity * str2, ForceMode.Impulse);
}
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
}
}

public class BouncTest : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private float hight = 3;
[SerializeField] private int times = 5;
[SerializeField] private float speed = 8;
private Vector3 _startPos;
private bool _checkUP;
private int _countTimes;
private float _hightbuf;
[HideInInspector]
public bool _bounceEnd;
private void Awake()
{
_startPos = transform.position;
}
public void TurnOnBounceEffect()
{
_bounceEnd = true;
_checkUP = false;
_hightbuf = hight;
_countTimes = 0;
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
BounceEffect();
}
private void BounceEffect()
{
if (_bounceEnd)
{
if (!_checkUP)
{
if (transform.position.y <= (_startPos.y + _hightbuf))
transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, new Vector2(_startPos.x, transform.position.y) + (Vector2.up * _hightbuf), speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
else
{
_checkUP = true;
}
}
else if (times != _countTimes)
{
if (transform.position.y > _startPos.y)
transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, _startPos, speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
else
{
_countTimes++;
_checkUP = false;
_hightbuf /= 2;
}
}
else
{
transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, _startPos, speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
if (transform.position.y <= _startPos.y)
{
_bounceEnd = false;
}
}
}
}
}

How to add Unity Touchscreen function?

New to making games in Unity and I've tried to use every way possible to find the answer for this.
How would I add a touch screen function to this C# code in unity to make the player move left and right?
My code
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
private Rigidbody2D rigi;
private Animator anim;
[HideInInspector]
public bool isFacingRight = true;
public float maxSpeed = 7.0f;
public Transform groundCheck;
public LayerMask groundLayers;
private float groundCheckRadius = 0.2f;
private void Awake()
{
rigi = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
anim = this.GetComponent<Animator> ();
}
void Start()
{
}
void Update()
{
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
try
{
float move = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
rigi.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2
(move * maxSpeed, GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity.y);
this.anim.SetFloat("Speed",Mathf.Abs(move));
if((move > 0.0f && isFacingRight == false) ||
(move < 0.0f && isFacingRight == true))
{
Flip ();
}
}
catch(UnityException error)
{
Debug.LogError(error.ToString());
}
}
void Flip()
{
isFacingRight = !isFacingRight;
Vector3 playerScale = transform.localScale;
playerScale.x = playerScale.x * -1;
transform.localScale = playerScale;
}
}

You need to use the Input.touches to detect the screen touch.
Maybe in this case you should detect if the player is pressing the right/left side of the screen and moving it accordingly. You can do that by comparing the touch position, something like input.touches[0].position.x < Screen.width/2 to move right for example.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input-touches.html
Just a piece of advice, do not use GetComponent inside the update method. In this case you don't actually need it because you already have the references on the awake method.
