Moving Objects along a vertices

Questions & Answers

I’m trying to get a cube to move along the z axis like a sliding door when activated by a trigger. At first I was thinking about doing it by having a “Do” loop in the OnTriggerEnter function, however it just crashed Unity. Please could someone help me out here, there’s probably a simple way of doing this however I’m stumped for the moment.

Thanks!

OnTriggerEnter happend when something triggers your collider. You cant use do/while loop to do animation in there. It represents one frame. Easiest way:

Have a variable that says wheather door should open or close;

bool isOpening = false;
bool stateOpen = false;

When user collides, save the state. Door is now oppening!

void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision) {
  isOpening = true;
}

In update function of door you do this:

void Update() {
  if(isOpening && !stateOpen) {
    //insert your movement vector * Time.deltaTime.
  }
}
