Copying and Pasting cs Code

In cs, like in almost any computer programming language, reading data from a file can be tricky. You add extra lines of code to tell the computer what to do. Sometimes you can copy and paste these lines from other peoples’ code.

For example, you can follow the pattern in this listing:

     public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
     {
         PickupItem parentPickupItem = this.transform.parent.GetComponent();
         if (parentPickupItem != null)
         {
            parentPickupItem.OnTriggerEnter(other);
         }

         // by enabling this log, you can see that more triggers are forwarded than necessary.
         // collisions with any collider will trigger, which is not perfect but OK in the demo.
         //Debug.Log("Triggered. Called parent: " + ((parentPickupItem != null)));
     }
