Change the FirstPersonControll Gravity Variable When Entering a Trigger

[dudebot13]

Hello,

I am creating a game where you are falling for a very long time and very quickly. I want to make it so that gravity is normal (using the pre-built first-person controller in Unity) until I jump off the edge and fall through a trigger. The trigger will then change the gravity variables and a couple others, like max fall speed. I have been trying to use this code to reference the gravity script:

function OnTriggerEnter(Trigger : Collider) {
  if (Trigger.tag == 'GravitySpeed') {
    
    var script: CharacterMotorMovement = Trigger.GetComponent(CharacterMotorMovement);
    
    script.gravity = 1000;
  }
}

However, I am not 100% on where to apply this script, or even if it is written correctly. It is not working right now. Can you guys give me a hand?

Thanks so much!

You should have a script on the player with functions that set all of those values at once and call it from the trigger. In the script on the player, have variables for the character motor and the desired gravity, and set those in a function.

public class newScript : MonoBehaviour { //Don't know how JS scripts start, just the name
        var playerMotor : CharacterMotorMovement
        var desiredGravity : float
        etc.
    
    
        public function setThoseValues(){ //Not sure how functions are in JS, but must be public
            playerMotor.gravity = desiredGravity;
            //Do the rest here
    }
}

Then make an empty GameObject with a box collider scaled to the size you want, make it a trigger and call the function on trigger enter.

function OnTriggerEnter(col: Collider){
    if(col.tag == 'Player'){
        col.GetComponent<newScript>().setThoseValues();
    }

}
