Noob needs a small boost

Good day, All I want to know is how do I reference another gameObjects collider. In my par of code where it says GetComponent this is where I want to reference the other collider not the gameObjects collider with this script attached.

public class CaterpillarMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 7f;
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
    void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other)
    {
        if (other.gameObject.tag == "BusStop")
        {
            StartCoroutine(StopTheBus());
        }

        IEnumerator StopTheBus()
        {
            speed = 0f;

            GetComponent<Collider>().enabled = false;

            yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);

            speed = 7f;
        }
    }

[RequireComponent(typeof(Collider))]
public class CaterpillarMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float Speed;

    private void Reset()
    {
        Speed = 7;
    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("BusStop"))
        {
            StartCoroutine(StopTheBus(other));
        }
    }

    private IEnumerator StopTheBus(Collider otherCollider)
    {
        Speed = 0f;
        otherCollider.enabled = false;
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);
        Speed = 7f;
    }
}

You should read up on general programming, as this is some basic fundamental stuff and not really Unity related.

In case you are not aware, all of the OnTriggerEnter/OnCollisionEnter methods will pass in the collider of the other object involved in the collision. This is why there is always a “Collider other” in the function signature.

When in doubt, check the docs:

Note that if you can also call GetComponent on the “other” parameter if you need to get something other than the Collider component.
