Use case

This script is currently being used on any object that is destroyed by lava when interacting with it - e.g. enemy's, crates, water buckets etc.

Breakdown of Code

Using Statements

using UnityEngine;

Class Declaration

public class DestroyByLava : MonoBehaviour

OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
       
        if (other.CompareTag("Lava"))
        {
           gameObject.SetActive(false);
        }
    }
}}

This method is automatically called when a collider enters the trigger zone of the GameObject it is attached to. It checks whether the GameObject that entered the trigger zone has the tag "Lava". If the entering GameObject does have the tag "Lava", GameObject to which this script is attached is deactivated.

Future Expansion
