Weird issue with boolean
Im trying to check, from and external script in a parent, when a trigger collider leaves a surface. I do this with a boolean, but for some reason it always returns false (even when manually set to true) What am I missing?
Parent Script:
GameObject bottom = GameObject.FindWithTag("Bottom1");
VehicleBottom other = bottom.GetComponent<VehicleBottom>();
if (bottom == null)
Debug.Log("Vehicle bottom is not found");
if (other.touchingGround == false)
Debug.Log ("Not Touching Ground");
if (other.touchingGround == true)
Debug.Log ("Touching Ground");
Child Script:
public bool touchingGround = true;
void OnTriggerExit(Collider other){
touchingGround = false;
Debug.Log("Vehicle has lost contact with ground");
}
Because when you are not colliding you are setting it to false:
OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
{
touchingGround = false;
}
thats why it's always false.
indeed.there is no point in the code you pasted where you set touchingGround to true :D
...other than the declaration
But its supposed to be false when I'm not colliding, I just don't understand why it doesn't turn true when it is colliding(which is most of the time)
where is your :
OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
touchingGround = true;
}
I figured it out,I assumed it would go automatically back to true when it started colliding again. A additional OntriggerEnter did the trick. Thanks for pointing out my logical fallacy.
I'm glad you found out your problem :). Now could you mark your answer as solved please :)
