The solution is to cache the components that we want to take in case of a collision. To do this, we create an object that will participate in a constant collision, register it by ID, and we will take the ID from the collider using **GetInstanceID. This is what our code for this service will look like.

In this paper, we present a novel consensus-based zeroth-order algorithm tailored for nonconvex multiplayer games. The proposed method leverages a metaheuristic approach using concepts from swarm intelligence to reliably identify global Nash equilibria. We utilize a group of interacting particles, each agreeing on a specific consensus point, asymptotically converging to the corresponding optimal strategy.
