Introduction:

Welcome, game developers, to the tenth chapter of our Beat Saber VR series! In this edition, we're setting the stage for a grand finale by creating a plane that will serve as the Cube Obliteration Zone. Once cubes gracefully touch this plane, they'll vanish into thin air, leaving a trail of rhythm in their wake. Let's embark on this last leg of our development journey!

Step 1: Crafting the Obliteration Plane:

1. Create a Plane:

   • In Unity's Hierarchy panel, right-click and choose 3D Object -> Plane.

• Position the plane behind the player to act as the Cube Obliteration Zone. You can do this by adjusting the Transform component's position values in the Inspector window.

• 

1. Tagging the Plane:

   • Create a new tag by going to Edit -> Project Settings -> Tags and Layers.

   • 

   • In the Tags section, click the "+" button, add a new tag "Cube", and press Enter.

2. Apply the Tag to the Plane:

   • Select the plane in the Hierarchy panel.

   • In the Inspector window, find the "Tag" field in the "Tag" component and assign the "Cube" tag to the plane.

   • 

3. Adjust Collider (Optional):

   • If the plane doesn't have a Collider component, consider adding one. This ensures that the Cube Killer script can detect collisions.

Step 2: Cube Killer Script Explanation:

Now that our Obliteration Plane is ready, let's understand the Cube Killer script, responsible for cleaning up the cubes that dare to touch the forbidden surface.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class CubeKiller : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.tag == "Cube") // Check if the entering object has the "Cube" tag
        {
            Destroy(other.transform.parent.gameObject); // Destroy the parent object (assumed to be the cube)
        }
    }
}

• OnTriggerEnter: This method is called when a GameObject enters the trigger collider of the Cube Killer object.

• if (other.tag == "Cube"): Checks if the entering object has the tag "Cube." This ensures that only cubes trigger the destruction process.

• Destroy(other.transform.parent.gameObject): Destroys the parent object of the collider, assuming the cube is a child of another GameObject. Adjust this based on your hierarchy.

Step 3: Integrate Cube Killer Script:

1. Attach the CubeKiller script to the Obliteration Plane GameObject.

2. Ensure the Cube Killer GameObject has a Collider component. If not, add a Collider component to detect collisions.

3. With these steps completed, the Cube Killer script will eliminate cubes upon collision with the Obliteration Plane.

Conclusion:

Congratulations, architects of rhythm! You've now laid the groundwork for the Cube Obliteration Zone. As cubes gracefully touch the plane, they meet their rhythmic demise, bringing a satisfying conclusion to our Beat Saber VR development journey.

Happy Coding :)
