In this current state, it is nearly impossible to press the key with adequate timing. Both the OnTriggerEnter() and Input.GetKeyDown() occur on a single frame of gameplay, and you would be hard pressed to be lucky enough to press the key at that exact moment.

A possible solution to this would be to use OnTriggerStay() instead. This triggers on every frame that the collider is within the Trigger's boundaries.

Edit: Additionally, there might be some unusual logic to factor in as well. Based on the function you described, I'm guessing that script is attached to an area near the door and not to the player. Based on that assumption, rather than using transform.position to enter the area, you would want to use player.transform.position to move the object which moved into range of the trigger.

Update i changed the code

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class DoorOpen : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {

 void Start (){

 
 }

     void OnTriggerStay (Collider Player) {



     if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ey($$anonymous$$eyCode.F)) {

         Debug.Log ("Press F to open the door!");

         transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y, transform.position.z+1);

     }
     
 }

}

Hi, @demongames666
Maybe you should write Input.GetKeyDown(Keycode.F) not Input.GetKeyDown("f")
So this is your final code : if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F)) { transform.position = new Vector3(0,0,180f); }
Sorry for my bad english, if not working, you can ask or tell me again
