OnTrigger events on CharacterController in Unity 3

Question

With moving project to Unity 3 detection of trigger collisions with CharacterController start working strange. There is one object with box collider which is trigger and other object with CharacterController. And events OnTriggerEnter and OnTriggerStay happen only if the character is moving. If it stands still there are no collisions. In Unity 2.6 absolutely the same project works fine.

Where could be problem?

Try adding a RigidBody to the triggering object.

I got the same problem! If the CharacterController game object stoped, others can not detect it.

Is there anybody can help us?

okay, so I'm gonna write my script down, which works. I'm standing inside a trigger, and everytime I'm pressing "E" or pushing a button, I can do it again, so it pops up again.

private var showDialog:boolean = false ; private var keyPressed:boolean = false ; private var doQuest:boolean = false ; public var enemy:GameObject;

function Update () { if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E)) { keyPressed = true ; } }

function OnTriggerStay (collisionInfo : Collider) { if(collisionInfo.gameObject.tag == "Player") { showDialog = true ; } }

function OnTriggerExit () { showDialog = false ; keyPressed = false ; }

function OnGUI() { GUILayout.BeginArea(Rect(20,80,200,200)); if (showDialog&&!doQuest&&keyPressed){ GUILayout.Label("Hallo, ich heisse Manfred!"); GUILayout.Label("Wie ich sehe, wirst du verfolgt. Soll ich meinen Roboterkollegen ausschalten?"); if (GUILayout.Button("Ja, bidde.")){

             doQuest=true;
             keyPressed = false ;
             enemy.GetComponent("AIEnemy").enabled = false;
             enemy.GetComponent("Animation").animation.Play("idle");
         }
         if (GUILayout.Button("Nein, ich mach das schon.")){

             keyPressed = false ;
         }       


     }   
     if (showDialog&amp;&amp;doQuest&amp;&amp;keyPressed){
         GUILayout.Label("Wenn du willst, kannst du ihn jetzt treten, er wehrt sich nicht ;)");
         if (GUILayout.Button("Na dann mal los.")){          

             keyPressed = false ;
         }
     }
     GUILayout.EndArea();

}
