Question by TwistedDead · Sep 27, 2012 at 10:36 PM · instantiatetriggerhorrordeactivate

Help with trigger

I am working on a horror game and i have a section where i have a cube as a trigger, when the player enters the trigger a dead body appears and falls down using Instantiate, my only problem is everytime you leave the trigger and come back in, Instantiate is triggered again and another dead body appears and falls down ontop of the first one. How do i make it so Instantiate is only activated that first time and after even if the player walks through the trigger again Instantiate isnt activated again?

Use a single boolean to control dead body fall

 bool bodyFellOnce = false;
 
 void OnTriggerEnter()
 {
     if( !bodyFellOnce )
     {
         // your body instanciation
         bodyFellOnce = true;
     }
 }

Here you go...

 var pos : Transform; var deadGuy : GameObject; //a prefab of the dead guy var     
 bodyFellOnce = false;
 
 function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider){
 
 if( !bodyFellOnce && ( other.gameObject.tag == "Player" ) )
     Instantiate(deadGuy, pos.position, pos.rotation); 
     bodyFellOnce = true;
 }

yes @TwistedDead it should work fine with audio, what this script does is it keeps track if you hiy the certain trigger if you did it sets a value and if you hit the trigger again nothing would happen because the value has been set and you said that it should only work if it has been set. If you know what I mean xD. So whatever you do in the OnTriggerEnter + the value(like shown above) its' s ok!
