Physics queries

Physics queries include casts, overlaps, and checks in the Physics or Physics2D classes.

Test whether your query hits an object

Test that a physics query hits an object by using a breakpoint or log.

Don't put breakpoints or logs after or inside other code when testing a method runs.

You likely have an error in your logic. Common mistakes include:

Comparing tags using equality; use CompareTag to get proper warnings.
Destroying components instead of their gameObject, leading to the appearance that nothing happens.
Ignoring errors that throw exceptions, these cause the code after to not run (fix the exceptions to resolve the issue).
