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 :)

case "Wall":
Destroy(gameObject);
break;
case "Enemy":

}
}
}
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

Player does not move when Camera follow script is active

As soon as I add my camera follow script to the camera, my player can no longer be controlled.No error is displayed.As soon as I start the game the x and y position changes to negative during the game.As soon as I delete the follow script everything works again.Can someone help me please?
Here the scripts:
Follow Script:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class CameraFollow : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField]
public GameObject followObject;
public void Update()
{
if (!followObject)
{
followObject = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
}
transform.position = new Vector3(followObject.transform.position.x, followObject.transform.position.y, -10);
}
}
PlayerController:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.Profiling.Memory.Experimental;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
[Range(0, .3f)] [SerializeField] private float m_MovementSmoothing = .05f;
public static PlayerController PC;
public float runSpeed = 200;
public float jumpSpeed;
private bool isJumping;
private float move;
private Vector3 m_Velocity = Vector3.zero;
void Update()
{
move = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
// Move the character by finding the target velocity
Vector3 targetVelocity = new Vector2(move * 10f, rb.velocity.y);
// And then smoothing it out and applying it to the character
rb.velocity = Vector3.SmoothDamp(rb.velocity, targetVelocity, ref m_Velocity, m_MovementSmoothing);
if (move < 0)
{
transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 180, 0);
}else if(move > 0)
{
transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
}
if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && !isJumping)
{
rb.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, jumpSpeed));
isJumping = true;
}
private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other)
{
if(other.gameObject.CompareTag("Ground"))
{
isJumping = false;
}
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("MGround"))
{
this.transform.parent = other.transform;
isJumping = false;
}
}
private void OnCollisionExit2D(Collision2D other)
{
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("MGround"))
{
this.transform.parent = null;
isJumping = true;
}
}
}

Try this:
Put it on camera game object
and put player game object to player window in the inspector
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class CameraFollow : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField]
public Transform player;
public void Update()
{
transform.position = new Vector3(player.position.x, player.position.y);
}
}

You´re scripts are incomplete and I could not reproduce your error. Did you copy/paste the full source?
I cleaned them up anyway and they work perfectly for me.
Here is what I did.
Camera Follow
No Changes
Player Controller
Add a Private "RigidBody2D rb" to the script since it was missing but you were
using it in Update().
Move Collision Methods out of Update
Add closing brackets.

Having problems with "OnCollisionEnter2D" in Unity2D

I'm using this code:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class CollisionPlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
public bool alreadyDied = false;
public GameObject player;
public float timeDeath;
public ParticleSystem particles;
public GameObject explosionGO;
private SpriteRenderer sr;
private BoxCollider2D bc;
private PlayerController walkScript;
void Start()
{
sr = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
bc = GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
walkScript = GetComponent<PlayerController>();
}
void OnCollisionEnter2D (Collision2D collide)
{
if (collide.gameObject.CompareTag("Dead"))
{
Instantiate(particles, player.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
Instantiate(explosionGO, player.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
CinemachineShake.Instance.ShakeCamera(30f, .1f);
alreadyDied = true;
}
}
void Update()
{
if(alreadyDied == true)
{
timeDeath -= Time.deltaTime;
sr.enabled = false;
bc.enabled = false;
walkScript.enabled = false;
}
if(timeDeath <= 0)
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex);
}
}
}
This is the bullet's code:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class LeftBulletScript : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called before the first frame update
public float speed;
public float destructionLeftTime;
public ParticleSystem particles;
private GameObject thisGameObject;
void Start()
{
thisGameObject = this.gameObject;
Destroy(gameObject, destructionLeftTime);
}
void Update()
{
transform.Translate(Vector2.left * speed * Time.deltaTime);
if(destructionLeftTime > 0.05f)
{
destructionLeftTime -= Time.deltaTime;
}
else
{
Instantiate(particles, thisGameObject.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
}
}
}
This code should spawn some particles and a sound effect when the player gets hit by something with tag "Dead". But that does not happen. I have a box collider 2D on both the bullet (that should kill me) and the player. My Rigidbody2D is dynamic on the player with z freezed. The bullet does not have a rigidbody. I made sure that the bullet actually has the tag "Dead", spelled the exact same way as the way I wrote on the script. The weirdest thing is that I used this code on another game and nothing changed (just the name of a script). Both the player and the bullet are on the same layer. Anyone could tell me what could have happened?

Touch movement for phone

I started making a 2D game in Unity and I have a problem with my player. I add 2 buttons for left and right and jump just tapping the display . When I start the game just the buttons left and right works and the jump don't . I added from another script something for jump and now when I start the game the player goes automatically at right and don't respect the buttons action. (but jumping works) this is the 2 codes that I joined them :
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Movement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float moveSpeed = 300;
public GameObject character;
private Rigidbody2D characterBody;
private float ScreenWidth;
void Start()
{
ScreenWidth = Screen.width;
characterBody = character.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
int i = 0;
while (i < Input.touchCount)
{
if (Input.GetTouch(i).position.x > ScreenWidth / 2)
{
RunCharacter(1.0f);
}
if (Input.GetTouch(i).position.x < ScreenWidth / 2)
{
RunCharacter(-1.0f);
}
++i;
}
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
#if UNITY_EDITOR
RunCharacter(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"));
}
private void RunCharacter(float horizontalInput)
{
characterBody.AddForce(new Vector2(horizontalInput * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0));
}
}
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Move2d : MonoBehaviour
{
public float playerSpeed; //allows us to be able to change speed in Unity
public Vector2 jumpHeight;
public bool isDead = false;
private Rigidbody2D rb2d;
private Score gm;
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
rb2d = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
gm = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("gameMaster").GetComponent<Score>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (isDead) { return; }
transform.Translate(playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0f, 0f); //makes player run
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) || Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) //makes player jump
{
GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().AddForce(jumpHeight, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
}
}
private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("ground")) // this will return true if the collision gameobject has ground tag on it.
{
isDead = true;
rb2d.velocity = Vector2.zero;
GameController.Instance.Die();
}
}
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D col)
{
if( col.CompareTag("coin"))
{
Destroy(col.gameObject);
gm.score += 1;
}
}
}
If you know a better script please help

Try adding #endif for the #if UNITY_EDITOR

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.
