input button while in a trigger?

Questions & Answers
1

i am working on a fps game, and was making a switch to open some doors, i attached two colliders to the switch, one trigger which extends ahead of the trigger, to know whether the player is there or not, and other collider so that the player does not pass through it, it is placed on a wall, i can get the door to open when i enter the trigger, but the problem arises when i try to implement the door opening when the button e, is being pressed while the player is in the trigger, here is the script

public class Switch : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject door;
public GameObject player;

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col)
{
	if(col.gameObject.name=="Player")
	{
		if(Input.GetButtonDown("Use"))
		{	
			Debug.Log ("door open");
			door.transform.Translate (0, 5, 0);
		}
	}
}

}

here’s the script attached to the switch.

You need to use OnTriggerStay() function instead of OnTriggerEnter().

I think a good alternative is to have the door have it’s collider and its trigger… like I think you’re saying

but I would disreguard the ontrigger function…

instead I would make a “action raycast”

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class OpenDoorTest : MonoBehaviour {

	public float actionDistance = 100;


	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {

		RaycastHit rayhit;
		Vector3 fwd = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
		if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position,fwd,out rayhit,actionDistance)
		{
				if (rayhit.collider.CompareTag("DoorTrigger")
				{
						if (Input.GetKeyDown("E"))
						{
	                                              //Create a door script with function
							bool openclose = false

							openclose = !openclose;
                                                    rayhit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<DoorFunctionScript>          ().opendoor = openclose;
						}
				}
		}
	
	}
}

sorry for the bad code snippet.
