Trying to change fog when entering a collider trigger!
I am making a 3rd person game.
I have this camera and a capsule collider with "Is Trigger" checked. The collider is in an object tagged "Water". I wrote (more like took pieces of other scripts and Frankensteined) a simple script and attached it to the camera.
This is the script:
public class CameraInWater : MonoBehaviour {
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Water") {
RenderSettings.fog = true;
RenderSettings.fogColor = new Color (0.35f, 0.55f, 0.6f, 0.2f);
RenderSettings.fogDensity = 0.2f;
}
}
void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Water") {
RenderSettings.fog = true;
RenderSettings.fogColor = new Color (0.5f, 0.6f, 0.9f, 1f);
RenderSettings.fogDensity = 0.001f;
}
}
}
Of course, nothing happens. I didn't expect it to work but I cannot see what I'm doing wrong. If anyone is interested here is a video of my game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRTyDTKX4Zk
As you can see 40 seconds into the video, the fog changes when the camera is below a certain point in the y axis. This is what I want when the camera enters the triggering collision. I also have a lake on top of a mountain in the same scene.. under that water, that's where I want to change the "fog".
I am a huge newbie to scripting, I'm sure what I'm trying to do is either impossible or has a ridiculously simple solution. Sorry!
You want a fog change to trigger when the camera is inside a water volume, but you're also using another method to change the same fog settings when the camera goes below a Y threshold? So, perhaps the other method is overriding this one?
If not, ensure your colliders are property set up to cause these events to trigger.
That's strange I toggled the other script off before and it didn't work, but after reading your post and went and tried again and it does work now. Thanks!
