Comparing collisions between two triggers

Unity Engine
1

Hi all, I have two triggers( i’m trying to make a fighting game) , but the standard OnTriggerExit and OnTriggerEnter
isn’t working .

Any idea on how to get this to work .

//
var OtherTag : String ; 

function OnTriggerExit (other : Collider) {
//if(other.tag == OtherTag){
 if (other.CompareTag (OtherTag)) 
{
CanPunch = false ;
}
  
      //  }
        //    Destroy(other.gameObject);


}

function OnTriggerStay (other : Collider) {

  if (other.CompareTag (OtherTag)) {
CanPunch = true;
    }
        //    Destroy(other.gameObject);


}

If you mean, each player has a trigger on his fist, for example, why not either add a collider which is not a trigger, to each fist. Or, just use non trigger colliders, or set trigger to true if punching. Set it to false if not punching.

You need a Rigidbody or a CharacterController to trigger triggers. Colliders on their own are passive.

I ended up adding ridgbody’s to both fighters . I did some other things too … much convoluted code that will bite me in the backside latter
Anyway, for anyone else who needs it , here’s the full script

#pragma strict
var Punched : boolean ; 
var InPunch : boolean ;
var OtherTag : String ;
var CanPunch : boolean ; 
var SendBack : Listen ; 
var HP : float  ; 
var HPcommand : ChecknSend ; 
var TakeHit : boolean ; 
// no reason to not just assign this 
var OtherFighter : Fight ;
var Controled : boolean = true; 
var AIcommand : AIone ; 
var OtherGuy : GameObject ;

var AIhits: boolean ;
InvokeRepeating("AIpunch",1,1);

 


public function TakingHit() {

if(TakeHit!= true){
TakeHit = true ;
SendBack.React();
HP--;
yield WaitForSeconds(0.5);
TakeHit = false;
}


}



function Start () {

}
/*
function OnCollisionStay(collision : Collision) {
if(collision.gameObject == OtherGuy)
{

CanPunch = true;
}

}
*/

///*

function OnTriggerExit (other : Collider) {
//if(other.tag == OtherTag){
 if (other.gameObject.CompareTag  (OtherTag)) 
{
CanPunch = false ;


if(!Controled){

AIhits  = false;
}

}
  
      //  }
        //    Destroy(other.gameObject);


}

function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {

  if (other.gameObject.CompareTag  (OtherTag)) {
CanPunch = true;
if(!Controled)
{
AIhits = true ;

}
    }
        //    Destroy(other.gameObject);


}

//*/

public function Hit () {
//if(!Punched){
if(CanPunch == true){
Punched = true ;
OtherFighter.TakingHit();
yield WaitForSeconds(0.3);
Punched = false;
//}
}
}


public function PunchinSec() {
InPunch = true ; 
yield WaitForSeconds(0.1);
InPunch = false;


}


public function AIpunch()
{
if(!Controled){

if(AIhits)
{// the ai takes punches he can land
if(CanPunch == true){
/// this SHOULD ONLY be used in AI cases 
SendBack.PunchOut(); 
Hit();
}
}
}
}

function Update () {
if(Controled){
HPcommand.LocHPA = HP ;
}
if(!Controled){
HPcommand.LocHPB = HP; 
}






if(Input.GetButtonDown("Punch"))
{
if(Controled){
SendBack.PunchOut(); 
Hit();
}
}

}
