player collision does not work with objects

I'm making an endless runner game and i have a question about my player colliding with so,e obstacles, I used Raycast but when i try to debug this collision doesn't occur.
Here my player Code.
public class Player : MonoBehaviour
{
private CharacterController controller;
public float speed;
public float jumpHeight;
private float jumpVelocity;
public float gravity;
public float rayRadius;
public LayerMask layer;
public float horizontalSpeed;
private bool isMovingLeft;
private bool isMovingRight;
private bool isDead;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
Vector3 direction = Vector3.forward * speed;
if(controller.isGrounded)
{
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
{
jumpVelocity = jumpHeight;
}
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow)&& transform.position.x < 3.58f && !isMovingRight)
{
isMovingRight = true;
StartCoroutine(RightMove());
}
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow)&& transform.position.x > -3.58f && !isMovingLeft)
{
isMovingLeft = true;
StartCoroutine(LeftMove());
}
}
else
{
jumpVelocity -= gravity;
}
OnCollision();
direction.y = jumpVelocity;
controller.Move(direction * Time.deltaTime);
}
IEnumerator LeftMove()
{
for(float i = 0; i < 10; i += 0.1f)
{
controller.Move(Vector3.left * Time.deltaTime * horizontalSpeed);
yield return null;
}
isMovingLeft = false;
}
IEnumerator RightMove()
{
for (float i = 0; i < 10; i += 0.1f)
{
controller.Move(Vector3.right * Time.deltaTime * horizontalSpeed);
yield return null;
}
isMovingRight = false;
}
void OnCollision()
//The player will collide with obstacles that have a specific type of layer and dead.
{
RaycastHit hit;
if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), out hit, rayRadius, layer) && !isDead)
{
Debug.Log("GameOver!");
speed = 0;
jumpHeight = 0;
isDead = true;
}
}
}

Instead of using raycast inside OnCollision function. You can do this with very much by following these steps:
Add a tag to your obstacles let say its "Obstacle"
Add collider to them
Check when you collide with someone that if it is obstacle or not if yes then you can call your dead function.
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
if(collision.transform.CompareTag("Obstacle")){
Debug.Log("GameOver!");
speed = 0;
jumpHeight = 0;
isDead = true;
}
}
In this way you can detect collision with super ease instead of using raycast.

OnPointerEnter and OnPointerExit not being triggered Unity

Alright so basically the issue that I've been having is that for some reason a GameObject is interfering with the OnPointerEnter function. I'm pretty sure that OnPointerEnter detects only UI. So that's why I'm extremely confused when seeing that a specific GameObject in this case the PlayerLogic GameObject (which you can see in the screenshot) is for some reason interfering with the detection of UI elements. The reason I believe it is this specific GameObject is because once I do PlayerLogic.SetActive(false); OnPointerEnter starts to work again, and I'm also sure that it isn't any of the children of PlayerLogic because I've tried turning them off specifically and it still didn't work.
Inspector of the PlayerLogic object
Hierarchy
The code I'm using to test OnPointerEnter
After some testing I've realized that its the specific issue lies within the Player script on the PlayerLogic GameObject. Now what confuses me is that once I turn off the Player component OnPointer doesn't work, but if I were to remove the Player component completely from the PlayerLogic GameObject OnPointerEnter works.

This is the Player.cs script.

I'm pretty sure that OnPointerEnter detects only UI.
No.
It works "out of the box" on UI because by default every Canvas contains a GraphicsRaycaster component which is then used and handled by the EventSystem.
For non-UI 3D objects you have to make sure
your objects have 3D Colliders
the Colliders are on the same object as the IPointerXY interfaces
on your Camera there is a PhysicsRayster component
For non-UI 2D objects quite similar
your objects have a 2D Collider
the colliders are on the same object as the IPointerXY interfaces
the Camera has a Physics2DRaycaster component
Note that it is possible that any other collider or in general raycast blocking object is between your input and the target object which would also prevent the OnPointerXY to be triggered on your objects.
The CharacterController
is simply a capsule shaped Collider
which can be told to move in some direction from a script.
which is probably blocking the input.
Now with your Player code:
You do
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
in Awake so even if you turn it off afterwards this already took effect.

how can I make the game object disappear?

when I was watching on YouTube, tutorials about endless runner on part 2, the game object wouldn't disappear when it hits the player
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Obstacle : MonoBehaviour
{
public int damage = 1;
public float speed;
private void Update()
{
transform.Translate(Vector2.left * speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
void onTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.CompareTag("rocket"))
{
//rocket takes damage 1
other.GetComponent<rocket>().health -= damage;
Debug.Log(other.GetComponent<rocket>().health);
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
}
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class rocket : MonoBehaviour
{
private Vector2 targetPos;
public float Yincrement;
public float speed;
public float maxHeight;
public float minHeight;
public int health = 3;
void Update()
{
if (health <= 0)
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex);
}
transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPos, speed * Time.deltaTime);
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.UpArrow) && transform.position.y < maxHeight)
{
targetPos = new Vector2(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + Yincrement);
}
else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.DownArrow) && transform.position.y > minHeight)
{
targetPos = new Vector2(transform.position.x, transform.position.y - Yincrement);
}
}
}
from this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVCW5189evI and I'm confused why it didn't work, can someone tell me what is wrong?

if you want to destroy use this, Correct Method to get the game object when collide is: other.gameObject
void onTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.CompareTag("rocket"))
{
//rocket takes damage 1
other.gameObject.GetComponent<rocket>().health -= damage;
Debug.Log(other.gameObject.GetComponent<rocket>().health);
Destory(other.gameObject);

Use SetActive instead of Destroy Function.
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.CompareTag("rocket"))
{
//rocket takes damage 1
other.gameObject.GetComponent<rocket>().health -= damage;
Debug.Log(other.gameObject.GetComponent<rocket>().health);
gameObject.SetActive(false);// it'll Hide GameObject instead of Destroying
// gameObject.SetActive(true);// to show again
}
}

Grenade spawns in the wrong location

In my game I want to have a floating monster that's attack throws a grenade at the player. My problem is that the grenade only spawns in 0, 0, 0. In my script I make it so that the zombies spawns in on its own location but for some reason that doesn't work. I tried making it spawn by having the spawn location equal new Vector3(100, 100, 100) but it still spawned at 0, 0, 0. I know that the co-routine runs because I put a Debug.Log. Thanks for the help!
Edit #2: I can't have a rigidbody on the script. I have edited the movement script and I have found that no mater what if a rigidbody is added then it will go to 0, 0, 0.
Edit #3: I updated the scripts
Here is my script: (Sorry if the code is bad)
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class ZKAttack_lvl3 : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform Player;
public float MoveSpeed = 2.0f;
public float InRadius = 10.0f;
public float AttackRange = 15.0f;
private Coroutine hasCourutineRunYet;
public GameObject grenade;
public GameObject FloatingMonster;
private Vector3 FloatingMon;
private Animator anim;
private Rigidbody rigid;
private void Start()
{
anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
Player = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Player")[0].transform;
rigid = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
void Update()
{
Player = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Player")[0].transform;
transform.LookAt(Player);
float dstSqr = (Player.position - transform.position).sqrMagnitude;
bool inRadius = (dstSqr <= InRadius * InRadius);
bool inAttackRange = (dstSqr <= AttackRange * AttackRange);
anim.SetBool("AttackingPlayer", inAttackRange);
if (inRadius)
{
transform.position += transform.forward * MoveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
}
rigid.AddForce(1, 10, 1);
if (inAttackRange)
{
if (hasCourutineRunYet == null)
{
hasCourutineRunYet = StartCoroutine(GrenadeAttack());
}
}
}
IEnumerator GrenadeAttack()
{
FloatingMon = FloatingMonster.transform.position;
GameObject bulletObject = Instantiate(grenade, FloatingMonster.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(2.0f);
}
}
Edit: This is the code for the movement:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class GrenadeMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 10f;
public float lifeDuration = 4.0f;
private float lifeTimer;
private Coroutine hasCourutineRunYet;
private Transform Player;
public SphereCollider sphereCollider;
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
lifeTimer = lifeDuration;
sphereCollider.enabled = false;
Player = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Player")[0].transform;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
lifeTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
if (lifeTimer >= 3f)
{
Player = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Player")[0].transform;
transform.LookAt(Player);
transform.position += transform.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime;
}
if (lifeTimer >= 0f)
{
transform.position = speed * transform.up * Time.deltaTime;
transform.position = speed * transform.forward * Time.deltaTime;
}
if (lifeTimer <= 0f)
{
if (hasCourutineRunYet == null)
{
hasCourutineRunYet = StartCoroutine(GrenadeExplosion());
}
}
}
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider coll)
{
if (coll.gameObject.tag == "Player")
{
if (hasCourutineRunYet == null)
{
hasCourutineRunYet = StartCoroutine(GrenadeExplosion());
}
}
}
IEnumerator GrenadeExplosion()
{
sphereCollider.enabled = true;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.0f);
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}

With the help of #ken I figured out that I couldn't use a rigidbody so I changed the insantiation to this: GameObject bulletObject = Instantiate(grenade, FloatingMonster.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);. I then changed the movement script for it to:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class GrenadeMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 10f;
public float lifeDuration = 4.0f;
private float lifeTimer;
private Coroutine hasCourutineRunYet;
private Transform Player;
public SphereCollider sphereCollider;
public Vector3 velocity;
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
lifeTimer = lifeDuration;
sphereCollider.enabled = false;
Player = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Player")[0].transform;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
lifeTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
if (lifeTimer >= 2f)
{
Player = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Player")[0].transform;
transform.LookAt(Player);
transform.position += transform.forward * 5 * Time.deltaTime;
}
if (lifeTimer >= 0f && lifeTimer <= 2f)
{
transform.position = 9.18f * transform.up * Time.deltaTime;
transform.position = 9.18f * transform.forward * Time.deltaTime;
}
if (lifeTimer <= 0f)
{
if (hasCourutineRunYet == null)
{
hasCourutineRunYet = StartCoroutine(GrenadeExplosion());
}
}
}
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider coll)
{
if (coll.gameObject.tag == "Player" || coll.gameObject.tag == "Terrain")
{
if (hasCourutineRunYet == null)
{
hasCourutineRunYet = StartCoroutine(GrenadeExplosion());
}
}
}
IEnumerator GrenadeExplosion()
{
sphereCollider.enabled = true;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.0f);
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
Thank you for all your help, I have been trying to fix this all week.

You could set its position in the Instantiate line. Instantiate has several arguments. You can set its position in Instantiate, as well as its rotation and parent.
Set it to this:
IEnumerator GrenadeAttack()
{
GameObject bulletObject = Instantiate(grenade, FloatingMonster.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(2.0f);
}

NPC Follower - how to implement script

my goal is to have an NPC follow ThePlayer. I had a functioning NPCFollower script attached to a character with two animations, Idle and Walk.
I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can implement the NPCFollower script with the'SimpleCharacterControl'script which is attached to a character with an animator with multiple animations. I would like to call on two of the animations, walk and idle. I highly appreciate the help!

transform.LookAt(ThePlayer.transform);
if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position,transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward),out Shot))
{
TargetDistance = Shot.distance;
if(TargetDistance >= AllowedDistance)
{
FollowSpeed = 0.02f;
TheNPC.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("Walk");
}
else
{
FollowSpeed = 0;
TheNPC.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("Idle");
}
}

1) Get a reference to ThePlayer(Any object you want other objects to follow).
2) Find direction of ThePlayer.
3) In update check for DistanceFromTarget
if (DistanceFromTarget <= distanceUwant)
{
setMovingSpeed=0;
playIdelAnimation();
}
else
{
setMovingSpeed= asmuchyouwant;
playWalkAnimation();
