Answer by Kay for unity jumping collisions - how enemy is damaged
I would use a second collider at the upper part of the enemy let's called it headCollider. Set isTrigger = true and maybe use a special physics material. If this headCollider is the first one to get triggered you know that the player chararacter is jumping on the enemy or is falling on it from above. In OnTriggerEnter (Collider other) you can prepare some status variables (and maybe a timer for resetting the status). Also the current jump status like in V_Programmer's answer suggested should be useful for evaluation. As Unity does not allow you to attach 2 colliders of the same...

Comment by Kay on Imported animation doesn't play if assigned to parent
@Bart Unity is an IDE for game development in C# or JavaScript. Getting imported resources to work is an integral part of configuration. The animation itself is then triggered from a C# class. IMO it's fine here but of course there are intersections with gamedev

Comment by Kay on Unity + iOS + Xcode woes
What do you see in console when running from Xcode? It should start with Initialize engine version: 3.5.7f6 and end with -> applicationDidBecomeActive(). If so: Do you see the splash screen then on your iPad? If not: Take a new empty Unity project and try this. I didn't get this Dropbox thing, what do you mean by this?

Comment by Kay on Scene is persisting in the background even though I don't want it to
I used to work with Unity's built-in GUI system, but then switched to NGUI - one of my best decisions. Maybe they will do something similar, the NGUI guy is now working at Unity.

Comment by Kay on Delegate execution in Unity3d using c#
Do you register them at one instance member like myEvent += myCallback1; myEvent += myCallback2; and so on?

Comment by Kay on Rotation issue in Unity 3D
I just added a third alternative to my answer - maybe the easiest one.

Answer by Kay for Scene is persisting in the background even though I don't want it to
I would refactor the Menu class so that you can disable it a a whole when no needed for two reasons: The code on Update is needed only when you are actually in the menu scene OnGui is pretty expensive as it is called several times per frame You can make an empty game object MenuManager or even better SceneManager kind of persistent using Object.DontDestroyOnLoad. So enabling and disabling the Menu object can be done in this class. Maybe Unity3D singleton manager classes can give you some inspiration. I use this approach to keep the hierarchy small and clean. All my scenes contain a...

Answer by Kay for Rotation issue in Unity 3D
This kind of rotation implies a change of the object's position as well. I see two ways to solve this: Use Transform.RotateAround and specify the intersection of both, here the blue Z axis with some offset. Maybe its easier to use another empty object to get the coordinates. A hinge joint. This lets you coinfigure the behaviour perfectly but it works with non-kinmatic objects only. So you have to apply forces as the top object would be under control of the physics engine. Depends on the remaining part of the game if this is what you want. [Update] If you position the empty GameObject...

Comment by Kay on Convert from Object to Dictionary
So what do you want to achieve? Currently you create a Dictionary and release it in the next line. Is obj of type ` System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<TKey, TValue>` and thus a System.Object or a UnityEngine.Object?
