How to log game objects colliding in Unity
This is my first unity project so I am fairly unfamiliar with everything the platform has. I am trying to log a message to the console when I have a my player game object run into a finish line. Both objects have Box Colliders on them and I have attached a C# script to the player object. Below is the code I have currently.
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D col)
{
if (col.gameObject.tag == "Finish")
{
Debug.Log("Finish");
}
}
The problem is that when I move the player into the "Finish" object no logging appears inside the console.
Thanks in Advance!

This is the finish line inspector tab

Your script attached to the player checks for a collision with an object with the tag "Finish". Your Object "Finish Line" has tag "untagged". You have to add a tag "Finish" to it to see it working.

You have two options:

2. If you did not intend to use tag then just compare the GameObject by name instead of tag by simply replacing if (col.gameObject.tag == "Finish") with if (col.gameObject.name == "Finish").
If none of the two options above worked for you then OnCollisionEnter2D is not being called at-all. Put a Debug.Log outside the if statement like below and leave a comment about if there is a log or not.
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D col)
{
Debug.Log("Finish: " + col.gameObject.name);
}
