Enabling multiple object animations with one collider?

Unity Engine

Hello everyone,

I am trying to build a scene where I have multiple game objects and each of them has their own animation that is triggered separately upon collision with the main collider / player. So far it is working well with one game object. Once I try adding several ones, all animations will start, although it is only entering the trigger zone of say gameobject1.

Any ideas? My script is below.

Thank you!

sing System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Switch2 : MonoBehaviour
{

    public GameObject ObjectToEnable;

    void Start()
    {
        ObjectToEnable.SetActive(false);
    }

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        ObjectToEnable.SetActive(true);

    }

Hi,

I’m not sure if I understand your logic behind this pattern correctly, but; maybe you could implement this so, that you have OnTriggerEnter in your objects, and when your player enters a trigger, it will start whatever it needs to start in that specific object instance.

i.e. something like this:

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    // If it's the player (detect with tag you have set.)
    if (other.tag == "Player")
    {
        // Flip a trigger in this Animator instance to start animation playback.
        animator.SetTrigger("reactionAnim");
    }
}

animator would be of type Animator and something you assign automatically with code or use Inspector to do it.
