Setting OnTriggerEnter to a second object collider
I like to keep these simplified instead of trying to explain everything that I'm doing, so here's the watered down version:
I have an object, called Object A
I have another object, called Object B
In its script, I tell Object A to do something if a bool is true
This bool only equals true if the player moves into the triggered collider of Object B
However, I don't really know how to do this. I was going to use OnTriggerEnter but with (ObjectB Collider other) instead of just (Collider other), though that doesn't seem to work. I'm working in C#. Anyone have any ideas?
Hello
Sory I didn't understand the last part of the question. Can you please check the following link that whether is this you want?
You have access to both objects in OnTriggerEnter just check the name
void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other) {
// Verify the collider is ObjectB by checking name
if (other.name == "Whatever Object B is named") {
// set your bool or whatever you want to do
yourBoolName = true;
}
}
Assuming you want set the bool false on exit you use OnTriggerExit.
void OnTriggerExit (Collider other) {
// Verify the collider is ObjectB by checking name
if (other.name == "Whatever Object B is named") {
// Clear your bool or whatever you want to do
yourBoolName = false;
}
}
Thanks for the swift response!
In this case, the collider I'm grabbing in other.name is actually the player object's. I want my script to detect when the player has contacted Object B.
Okay so Object B is an object with the trigger collider and this script. Your player need the bool as a public or write a public function that changes the bool.
So ObjectB will call to ObjectA (player) when triggered ... I will do the public bool method
So this script is on the static objectB and you have a collider and script with a bool on the player. I will call it "PlayerScript" in this code you need to change that to your classname of your script.
void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other) {
// Verify the collider is ObjectA (A$$anonymous$$A the player) by checking name
// You could optionally check the tag if you have multiple players
if (other.name == "Whatever player is named") {
// Since we know this is our player Fetch the script off the player
// This will fail and return null if it wasn't a player or script not on
PlayerScript temp = other.GetComponent<PlayerScript>();
// set the player script bool directly ... it must be a public
if (temp != null) temp.yourBoolName = true;
}
}
