Question by TheSituation · Apr 17, 2014 at 12:47 PM · collidertriggerphysics2d

I would like a GameObject to have both a Collider and a Trigger

I have a goal area which I want to be a Collider (working fine) and a Trigger (so I can take some action now another object has entered this area.

I added 2 Polygon Collider 2D components to my GameObject one which is a collider and one which is not. I add a script to the GameObject with the following code:

 public class GoalListener : MonoBehaviour {
 
     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
 
         print ("GOTCHA");
         //Destroy (other.gameObject);
     }
 
     void OnTriggerExit(Collider other){
         
         print ("OH YOU EXITED");
         //Destroy (other.gameObject);
     }
 
     void OnTriggerStay(Collider other){
         
         print ("YOU ARE NOW IN STAY");
         //Destroy (other.gameObject);
     }
 }


But for some reason my OnTriggerEnter, Exit and Stay never fires. The object which enters the trigger has a RigidBody2D and a Circle Collider 2D.

If the object has a collider, why does it need a trigger or are they different regions of the object?

$$anonymous$$aybe it doesnt, but if it doesnt - what callbacks get called when something collides within the object? How can i interrogate the state of the object hitting the collider to deter$$anonymous$$e if it has enough 'energy' to move outside of the goal? I basically want a callback when an object enters my goal with a small enough amount of energy such that it cannot bounce back out of the goal.

The solution was to use OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other) or OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other) whereas I was using the 3D space equivalents which explains why they were not called.
