OnTriggerEnter trigger themselves on play

Questions & Answers

Hi there,
I have a problem with the OnTriggerEnter function. Let’s say I have a box collider with this basic script attached as a test :

function OnTriggerEnter(col:Collider) {
    Debug.Log("in");
}
 

function OnTriggerExit(col:Collider) {
	 Debug.Log("out");
}

The problem is, when I’m testing the game, with my First Person Controller outside of the trigger, I’m getting the “in” message. If I walk in, then walk out (and so on) : it works, the message changes. But I don’t understand why by default when I’m starting the game and I’m not in the trigger, why is the trigger active, why doesn’t I have the out message ?

Thanks

It’s possible that some other collider, like maybe terrain or another wall, is causing this OnTriggerEnter to occur. To check what object is triggering this to debug the problem, use the following:

function OnTriggerEnter(col:Collider)
{

   Debug.Log(col.gameObject.name + " entered the trigger " + gameObject.name);

}
