triggers

[ancient dagger]

hey guys im having some truobles you see i have 2 box colliders set to trigger but they bioth do the same thing when i want them to do diffrent things

[celest bear]

use different scripts and two different gameobjects?

[ancient dagger]

i did

ill try explain more in depth gimme a sec to type

[celest bear]

ok..

[ancient dagger]

so basically what i have is 2 seprate game objects both with trigger colliders as seen in the first screen shot however if i enter lets say the back one whic has a script on it it does the exact same thing as the closer on even though they have seprate scripts

[celest bear]

are they on teh same parent?

[ancient dagger]

yes and heres my code for the back collider

[celest bear]

i dnt think that would matter tbh

[ancient dagger]

yes but diffrent objects

[celest bear]

what happens if u disable one?

and test the other

[ancient dagger]

nothing

it still keeps doing the thing where it shows the forst stuff

[celest bear]

whats the script for the front one?

[celest bear]

umm what ur saying dont make sense... if u disable 1 the other 1 does what the 1 u disabled did..

[ancient dagger]

yup

i could try stream it to you if you want

[celest bear]

i dont think that'd help me understand whats going on

[ancient dagger]

broo i just realised who you are i was watching your vids the other day

[celest bear]

for 1 ive never seen anyone use Monobehaviours like that..

epik

[celest bear]

ok imma start with this one.. lol

OnTriggerEnter only happens the frame that u step into that collider

so.. in that code it'd run that whole block instantly... and unless u were a super human its doubtful u can press the L key down at the exact same frame

OnTriggerStay would run every frame u were in that trigger zone

so in that case u could listen for a keypress in that block

[ancient dagger]

okthanks

[celest bear]

np, if u change that out real quick u could retest that script

and then u could eliminate 1 error point in ur code u got now

[ancient dagger]

it doesnt work

[celest bear]

put a debug log in it

inside the OnTriggerStay but not inside the keypress check

or u could put a debug in both places and see which one/or any run

[ancient dagger]

ok

so i fixed the part where the first script i sent u wasnt working but now i have the problem where both boxes can do both things

[celest bear]

yea that part is still puzzling to me

[ancient dagger]

ok

[celest bear]

can you screenshot the inspector

[ancient dagger]

ok

[celest bear]

of the box colliders expanded.. and the script u have below it

[ancient dagger]

the first one is the long script and the second is the shorter script

[celest bear]

so this gameobject

has this attached to it.. but it doesn't have a trigger collider anywhere on that object

[ancient dagger]

yes

ok i will fix that but it works anyway

ok so know it has a trigger collider
