Scoring not working for pong

Question

on either side of the walls the score always goes to Player02 i have tried everyt$$anonymous$$ng to change it but not$$anonymous$$ng works

t$$anonymous$$s is the code below i have tried many methods especially with the PlayerScore01 += 1

 #pragma strict
 
 static var playerScore01 : int = 0;
 
 static var playerScore02 : int = 0;
 
 var theSkin : GUISkin;
 
 static function Score (wallName : String) {
 
     if (wallName == "Right Wall")
     {
         playerScore01 += 1;
     }
     else if (wallName == "Left Wall")
         playerScore02 += 1;
     }
     Debug.Log("Player Score 1 is " + playerScore01);
     Debug.Log("Player Score 2 is " + playerScore02);
 
 function OnGUI () {
     GUI.skin = theSkin;
     GUI.Label (new Rect (Screen.width/2-150, 25, 100, 100), "" + playerScore01);
     GUI.Label (new Rect (Screen.width/2+150, 25, 100, 100), "" + playerScore02);
 }

First, is your wall correctly named? And is the trigger at the correct position? Maybe you have duplicated the wall for player1 and forgot to move it to the right location.

Also, I t$$anonymous$$nk you don't should use the name of the gameobject. I t$$anonymous$$nk using a bool or int is a better choice. And in the trigger script get the right value with a public var. (You can change the value of a public variable in the inspector).

 public var player : int = 1;
 
 function OnTriggerEnter2D ($$anonymous$$tInfo : Collider2D) {
     if ($$anonymous$$tInfo.name == "Ball")
     {
         GameManager.Score (player);
     }
 }

And in the GameManger script change the parameter from String to int.

 static function Score (plrNo : int) {
  
     if (plrNo == 1)
     {
         playerScore01 += 1;
     } else if (plrNo == 2) {
         playerScore02 += 1;
     }
     Debug.Log("Player Score 1 is " + playerScore01);
     Debug.Log("Player Score 2 is " + playerScore02);
 }

PS: You have forgotten the closing bracket in the Score function. Look at my script. You have also forgotten the opening bracket for the else if
