Ontrigger if
Im trying to make so that when i click my mouse button i want to see if my two Boxcolliders are touching and make my bool true and if true log. The problem is if i click no matter what it keeps printing where am i going wrong?
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Thetrigger : MonoBehaviour {
private bool triggered = false;
public GameObject square1;
void Update(){
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
if (triggered |= true){
Debug.Log ("bam");
}
}
}
void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D coll){
if (gameObject.tag == "squarerow"){
triggered = true;
}
else{
triggered = false;
}
}
}
Thank you
Replace the OnTriggerStay method with:
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D coll){
if (gameObject.tag == "squarerow"){
triggered = true;
}
}
void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D coll){
if (gameObject.tag == "squarerow"){
triggered = false;
}
}
The OnTriggerStay only gets called when the trigger are colliding. Therefore, using the if-else within that method is wrong. The if-else refers to the other object having a tag of the name "squarerow", not to object colliding or not.
EDIT: Also you need to fix the bug that you use gameObject.tag instead of coll.gameObject.tag. In both methods it should be:
if (coll.gameObject.tag == "squarerow"){
triggered = false;
}
I used the method you showed me but it still wont detect if colliding
Your syntax is incorrect. Assuming you meant to print bam when they're not touching:
if (triggered |= true){
Should be:
if (triggered != true){
i want to print bam when they are touching, but it seems as though my if else statement isn't working, i made the bool public to see it was turning on and off but it wasnt.
The other mistake was that you check the wrong gameObject. Please see my edited answer
