Question by Saravana-GameDev · Mar 02, 2021 at 04:25 AM · rigidbodycollidertrigger

Use OnTriggerEnter() without Rigid Body or Collider

I am making a FPS game, in which I have a trigger and a key (simple cube). When I throw the cube on the trigger, the door to the next level will open.


The problem is my weapon has no Collider or Rigid Body, when it enters the trigger a null reference exception is thrown by Unity.


My script tries to look for a collider in a game object which has no collider. How I can fix this ?


Can I ignore the weapon for trigger enter or I have to add a Rigid Body to my weapon


Heres my script which is attached to the trigger.

 using System.Collections;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class DoorKeyTrigger : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private Rigidbody rb;
     private bool alreadyOpened;
 
     [SerializeField] private string notGrabableTag = "NotGrabable";
     
     [SerializeField] private GameObject connectedDoor;
     [SerializeField] private float doorOpenDelay;
     [SerializeField] private float keySpinDuration;
     private float keySmoothTime;
 
     [SerializeField] private GameObject glowObject;
     [SerializeField] private Material greenGlow;
 
     [SerializeField] private Transform holdPoint;
 
     private void Update()
     {
         if (alreadyOpened)
         {
             keySmoothTime = Time.deltaTime * keySpinDuration;
             rb.transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * keySmoothTime);
         }
     }
 
     private IEnumerator OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
     {
         if (!other.transform.parent.CompareTag("Key") || alreadyOpened) yield break;
         rb = other.gameObject.GetComponentInParent<Rigidbody>();
             
         rb.tag = notGrabableTag;
             
         /*float childCount = rb.transform.childCount;
 
             for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++)
             {
                 rb.transform.GetChild(i).tag = notGrabableTag;
             }
             */
         rb.useGravity = false;
         rb.isKinematic = true;
         rb.MovePosition(holdPoint.position);
         rb.MoveRotation(Quaternion.identity);
             
         glowObject.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material = greenGlow;
         alreadyOpened = true;
 
         yield return new WaitForSeconds(doorOpenDelay);
         connectedDoor.GetComponent<Door>().OpenDoor();
     }
 }

Looking at the code you are using, it should skip running on anything that doesn't have the key tag. Have you accidentally tagged the weapon with "key"?

You could also use your rb variable. If you put "if(rb != null)" around all the code after you get component rigidbody, then none of that code will run of the object that you the trigger had no rigidbody, and you won't get that error.
