Question by AlienHook · Jun 03, 2014 at 05:13 PM · c#collisioncollidertrigger

Check if trigger is occupied

Instead of detecting WHEN a trigger is entered, I want to check at any given time whether a trigger is empty or it is occupied by a collider.

Is this possible with C#?

 bool isOccupied;
 
 void OnEnterTrigger(){
    isOccupied=true;
 }
 
 void OnExitTrigger(){
    isOccupied=false;
 }

Was that really so hard?

If you have multiple things that could enter, replace the bool with a count. If you want to know what the things are that have entered, replace the bool with a List

I tried this, but some objects that have colliders in my game use Destroy(gameObject), so OnTriggerExit is not called and the bool stays true.

Sorry for not knowing this. I was just wondering if there was a built in parameter. I guess I can work around it by moving the GameObject out of the trigger each time before destroying it.
