triggering a door to open with a button
im trying to figure out how to trigger my hoist door to open with the space bar. however i only want to be able to open the hoist door when im in the trigger box that i made. the script im using gives no errors but it still doesnt work. heres the script:
var doorUp : AnimationClip;
function OnTriggerEnter (mytrigger : Collider) {
if(mytrigger.gameObject.name == "player" )
{
if(Input.GetButton("openDoor"))
{
door = gameObject.Find("door");
door.animation.Play("hoistDoorUp");
}
}
}
The first thing that pops out at me is that you're using OnTriggerEnter and not OnTriggerStay.
The former will only fire for the frame it occurs on (better be holding down the openDoor key) whereas the latter will check for the keypress as long as you're in the trigger area.
excellent thanks very much thats exactly what I needed!
and i have another question...i have a player with a character controller, but i need to make sure that some sort of gravity like system is applied to it. heres the script for my player. what should i add to apply gravity? script:
private var controller : CharacterController;
var speed : float = 4f;
public var woman : Transform;
function Start ()
{
controller = GetComponent(CharacterController);
}
function Update () {
moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0,
Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
moveDirection = woman.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
moveDirection *= speed;
controller.$$anonymous$$ove(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
}
@script RequireComponent(CharacterController)
Two things:

Don't post new questions in an older question. Take a $$anonymous$$ute to search through older questions (search box in the top right) and, if you can't find something that helps, open a new one. This question has been answered and the answer has been accepted so most people won't give it a second glance.
