Collision detection without being solid?

[asfdasc]

I currently have a side scroller where an enemy follows a player within a certain distance and i need a way for the enemy to know when the jump. I had an idea of placing a cube with an empty mesh and putting it wherever i need him to be able to jump but the issue is that since theres a collider on the invisible cube he hits it and then jumps over it… also the player can land on it and seemingly float in the air because theres a collider on it. Heres my code that tells the enemy to jump.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class jumpdetect : MonoBehaviour {
	private bool isjumping = false;
	void OnCollisionStay(Collision theCollision){
		foreach (ContactPoint contact in theCollision.contacts) {
			if(contact.normal.y > 0.9f){
				isjumping = false;
				break;
			}
		}
		if(theCollision.gameObject.tag == "jump" & isjumping == false){
			rigidbody.velocity = new Vector3(rigidbody.velocity.x, 5, 0);
			isjumping = true;
		}
	}
}

I want to be able to have the object invisible and seemingly nonexistant but i cant remove the collider and still utilize the oncollisionstay function. Any ideas?

Set collider’s “Is trigger” to true and modify your code to detect trigger:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class jumpdetect : MonoBehaviour {
	private bool isjumping = false;

	void OnCollisionStay(Collision theCollision){
		foreach (ContactPoint contact in theCollision.contacts) {
			if(contact.normal.y > 0.9f){
				isjumping = false;
				break;
			}
		}
	}

	void OnTriggerEnter (Collider c)
	{
		if(c.tag == "jump" & isjumping == false){
			rigidbody.velocity = new Vector3(rigidbody.velocity.x, 5, 0);
			isjumping = true;
		}
	}
}
