Multiple colliders (triggers) in same script?
Hi all, I am working on a project that involves the character experiencing events when entering colliderboxes. The colliderboxes are triggers that send an int over UDP protocol.
My objective is to have 5 colliderboxes that each sends an int if the character enters the colliders.
I am, however, not very successful, and I need immediate assistance, as I am not as good in programming as the majority in the forums. This is my script:
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; using System; using System.Text; using System.Net; using System.Net.Sockets; using System.Threading; using System.Collections.Generic;
public class NickThesisTriggerManager : MonoBehaviour { private static NickThesisTriggerManager instance;
public static int SendValue1 = 20; public static int SendValue2 = 30;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
instance = this;
init ();
}
// Triggers are placed on the collider boxes
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
if (GameObject.Find("Trigger1") != true)
{
return;
}
else
{
Debug.Log("PLAYER HAS ENTERED TRIGGER 1");
SendUDPMessage(SendValue1);
}
if (GameObject.Find("Trigger2") != true)
{
return;
}
else
{
Debug.Log("PLAYER HAS ENTERED TRIGGER 2");
SendUDPMessage(SendValue2);
}
}
Oh boy.....is this a school project? When the collider enters all you're doing is calling gameobject.find, which returns a gameobject not a Boolean. So it will always not equal true and send the message. You need to get the gameobject info out if the collider called other and detect which object it is

I think you want something like this;
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
if(other.transform.name == "Trigger1"){
Debug.Log("PLAYER HAS ENTERED TRIGGER 1");
SendUDPMessage(SendValue1);
} else if(other.transform.name == "Trigger2"){
Debug.Log("PLAYER HAS ENTERED TRIGGER 2");
SendUDPMessage(SendValue2);
}
}
