Character Controller to Sphere collision issue

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I am working on a platformer and my character collides with my power ups but they don’t enter the OnCollisionEnter function untill I hit them from one spacific point. Anyone have any ideas why? My character has a character controller, a capsule collider, and is being moved by the move function. I have tried adding a rigid body to it but the result stayed the same even when it was kinematic. My powerup is a sphere with a sphere collider, and a rigid body. I have tried having both with rigid bodies, both with kinematic rigid bodies, both with neither, and some other variations that I don’t remember.
here is the collision code as of right now in the Powerup’s script:
void OnControllerColliderHit(ControllerColliderHit Hit)
{
print(“collision contoller”);
if (Hit.gameObject.name == “Player”)
{
print(“Collision with powerup COntroller collider”);
}
}
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision _Collider)
{
print(“collision”);
if (_Collider.gameObject.name != “Cube”)
{

print(“collision with powerup”);
}
}

I want the collision to be handled here so I haven’t put anything in the player for it. I will try that next but I wanted to see if maybe I was missing something.
Thanks in advance for the help.

For a fast solution, you can attach a cube to your character that cover it, with a cube collider but triggered and tag the power ups as you like. Then in the script, instead of use OnCollisionEnter, use OnTriggerEnter, and collider.gameObject.name == “YourTag”, so:

function OnTriggerEnter(collider : Collider){
if(collider.gameObject.tag == “YourTag”){
//Do something
}
}

Instead of tag you can use .name too
Attach the script to your “cube”, and done.

Also you can do it at the inverse.
