Immovable Objects not triggering...

Unity Engine
1

So, something i’ve noticed… when i have triggers that don’t move but are intersecting, they don’t trigger (when i need them to.)

workaround would be to have them moving but for some objects, this is not feasible.

any suggestions on how to work around this?

Example… I have an object that is a “fire” that spawns when a fireball is cast… i need to tell it to inflict a “burning” status but if the object that it’s supposed to trigger (in this case, it’s a “scarecrow” target for testing purposes) is immobile, it’s not detecting the trigger event. i’ve tried when it’s entered and when it’s staying and if the object lays perfectly still, it doesn’t detect the trigger.

I would like to find a way around this because if this becomes a known bug in my game, players that are attacking each other with this will just sit perfectly still to be able to avoid getting “burned.”

How can this situation ever happen? A trigger hits an other trigger by instantiating inside of it, or when it is moved within that trigger. In both situations a trigger event should be fired.

Do you have it checking a tag in your current script?

Yes, this shouldn’t be happening. A trigger-enter event is sent to both objects when either one intersects the other, even if they are immobile, at least on of them has to have a RigidBody component on it.

you can use empty rectangular collider near your object .so if some other object passes out of that you will get your trigger…!!
