OnTriggerEnter Event only occurs one time

Unity Engine
1

I am working on a object that when it gets hit it blinks.
the blinking part works perfectly but it only occurs one time.
So when the object gets hit a second time it wont blink.

also i use a shield to protect the object and if the shield is activated the blinking event still happens.

Anyone an idea?

Thnx sofar

script:

//Player script

//Inspector Variables
var lives					: int	= 3;
var playerSpeedVertical 	: float = 10.0;															//speed of the player along the vertical axis
var playerSpeedHorizontal 	: float = 10.0;															//speed of the player along the horizontal axis
var horMin 					: float = -6.768109;													//limits for player movement left
var horMAx 					: float = 6.719941;														//limits for player movement right
var verMin 					: float = -3.947858;													//limits for player movement down
var verMax 					: float = 5.975672;														//limits for player movement up
var projectile				: Transform;
var socketProjectile		: Transform;

var blinkTime : int = 3;            

var shieldMesh				: Transform;
var shieldKeyInput			: KeyCode;

//Private Variables
private var shieldOn		: boolean	= false;

function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
{
	if(other.gameObject.tag == "astroid")
	{ 	
 	yield WaitForSeconds(0); // The initial delay that you passed to InvokeRepeating
    while (blinkTime > 0)
    {
        blinkTime--;
        yield WaitForSeconds(0.2);
        renderer.enabled = false;
        yield WaitForSeconds(0.2);
        renderer.enabled = true;
    }		
	}  
} 

function Update () 
{
	//Store Input Variables
	var transV : float = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical") * playerSpeedVertical * Time.deltaTime;			//use to store variable for vertical movement
	var transH : float = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * playerSpeedHorizontal * Time.deltaTime;		//use to store variable for horizontal movement
	
	//Move player based on Input
	transform.Translate (transH, transV, 0);														//here we use the x move left and right and y to move up and down
	
	//Create out limits for the player world
	transform.position.x = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.x, horMin, horMAx);						//set horizontal limits
	transform.position.y = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.y, verMin, verMax);						//set vertical limits

	//create a bullet	
	if (Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
	{
		audio.Play ();
		Instantiate (projectile, socketProjectile.position, socketProjectile.rotation); 
	}
	//Create a shield
	if(Input.GetKeyDown(shieldKeyInput))
	{
		if(!shieldOn)
		{
		var clone = Instantiate (shieldMesh, transform.position, transform.rotation);
		clone.transform.parent = gameObject.transform;
		shieldOn = true;
		}	
	}
}

You never set blinkTime back to 3, so it’s still < 0 when it’s hit again.

Much appriciated Wertymk
works perfectly now :slight_smile:
