Hello
i want to know how can i disable a specific box collider when the player walk throw it
the player will try to find 7 switches to turn them on by just walking around them when the player find one a GUI text will count 1 of 7 .
my problem is the box collider still there so the player can go throw it again and it will count 2 of 7 how can i disable the collider if that object?
thank you .
In the OnTriggerEnter() for the collider, just set the collider’s .enabled to false.
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
this.enabled = false;
}
[Edit: I meant .enabled, not .enable; code fixed above.]
Hello tried it but the word enable is an Error !
thanks
Update : to remove the box collider this is the code
other.GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = false;
the problem i attached it to the player and when the player will find any box collider will disable it , i just wanted to disable the box collider of objects with tag “pick up”.
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Pick Up"))
{
count = count + 1;
SetCountText();
// other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
}
other.GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = false;
// Destroy(other.gameObject.GetComponent<BoxCollider>());
}
Actually, AFAIK instead of
other.GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = false;
this is enough:
other.enabled = false;
Since the Collider other is the collider itself. But I may be wrong and I’m not in the position to try it out momentarily.
Actually your right that works better as well , @halley1 she almost wrote the right answer
This code i think it disable every box collider the player touched
other.GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = false;
And this just works right with “tag”.
other.enabled = false;
thanks a lot.
this still helped me in 2020…lol[myGameObject.GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = false;
when making a system to shut off certain colliders when menus were opened 
I was searching for ways to disable a collider, and for what I needed, this was only the method that worked. Thanks!
It also works when you have no menus opened.
