Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E) Not Working

Questions & Answers
1

I have a situation where when the player collides with a tree it has the option to select “E” and wood will be added to the inventory.
This is my script:

void  OnTriggerEnter (Collider other)
	{
		if (other.tag == "Tree")
		{
			Debug.Log ("hit");
			if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E))
			{
				AddItem (2);
				Debug.Log ("wood added");
			}
		}
	}

The first debug, “hit” responds but the second does not. The AddItem (2) command works because I inserted before (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E)). What am I doing wrong? Is Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E) incorrect?

Thanks in advanced

To perchik’s comment, you will want to set a boolean which says when a tree was hit within that frame from OnTriggerEnter.

private bool treeHit = false;

void  OnTriggerEnter (Collider other)
{
    if (other.tag == "Tree")
    {
        Debug.Log ("hit");
        treeHit = true;
    }
}

void Update()
{
    if (treeHit && Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E))
    {
        Debug.Log("wood added");
        treeHit = false;
    }
}
