Trouble with colliders

[quaint stump]

So I am having a problem with my "Game Over Zone", which is the red rectangle on the left. When the ball touches it, it is supposed to signal a game over where the ball disappears and the paddle is no longer controllable for the player. Instead, none of that happens when the ball goes through the game over zone.

I have also posted the code for all the objects relating to my issue

Shwo the inspector of the "Game Over Zone" object?

[tawny fern]

Is there a child object here that has the collider? Does it have a collider at all?

If there is no collider, that's problem one. No collider, no collision

[quaint stump]

There is no child object. Just the game over zone itself

[tawny fern]

well then yeah

like I said

no collider, no collision

Problem two - your GameObject here has the tag "Untagged". Your ball code is looking to see if you collided with an object with the tag "Game Over Zone".

So how do I create a child object to actually make things collide?

[tawny fern]

you don't need a child object

you need a collider

[quaint stump]

And will that solve my collision problem?

it seems like you already have a rb involved. So the only thing left are the colliders, attach a collider with "isTrigger" checked on the gameOver Zone of type 2DBox and then on your script uncomment the OnTriggerEnter part, it should work. You can test it out by simply adding a Debug.Log("it works") on the first line inside the OnTriggerEnter.
