Trying to figure out how to detect when the player hits a spike

Question

I used rigid body on the player with rotation locked and the spike is a box with boxcollider attached and this is a 2D game if that matters, I've google'd it found some threads with similar questions but the shit wasnt working at all please help me.

 function OnTriggerEnter( touching : Collider ){
 if(touching.gameObject.tag == "spike")
 {
 print("hit");
 }
 }

Sadly this isnt working i set the spike to trigger and i keep collideing the player into the trigger and nothing prints in console.

Hi, you can use bounds.Intersects.Like the following;

 var playerBounds : Bounds;
 var spikeBounds : Bounds;
 var player : Transform;
 var spike : Transform;
 
 function Start ()
 {
 playerBounds = player.collider.bounds;
 spikeBounds = spike.collider.bounds;
 }
 
 function Update ()
 {
      if(playerBounds.Intersects(spikeBounds))
      {
      //You hit it!
      }
 }
