Help with VR Controller Collider

Questions & Answers
1

Hey Guys,

I’ve been really stuck on a problem. I have a basic home in Unity3d and I am trying to add a lightswitch that the person can touch with their SteamVR Controller to turn on and off the lights. But I am not able to get an OnTriggerEnter event to fire when passing the controller through the lightswitch.

My lightswitch is a box collider. I’ve tried it with a rigid body and without. And as isKinematic and not.

I have a sphere collider and a rigidbody attached to the model under both Controller(left) and Controller(right) of the CameraRig Object.

Finally, I have the following Script Attached to the Models, but have also tried it on the switch.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SwitchCollision : MonoBehaviour {

    void OnCollisionEnter(Collision col)
    {
        Debug.Log("Switch Collision");
    }

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col) 
    {
        Debug.Log("Switch Trigger");
    }

}

I can’t get either to print. Can you see what I am missing?

This is a little buggy but if you add a character motor to the controller it will work. By buggy I mean if you put it on both hands it will error when you grab the same object with both hands. You will also want to bring in the size of the character motor and you dont need the character controller after you put it on, you only need the character motor.
