Player detecting collision when crouching

Questions & Answers
1

Hi, so I found this crouch script on internet:

private var crouchHeight : float;
private var standardHeight : float;
private var crouching : boolean = false;
private var controller : CharacterController;

function Start () {
	controller = GetComponent(CharacterController);
	standardHeight = controller.height;
	crouchHeight = controller.height/2;
	crouching = false;
}

function Update () {
	if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Crouch")){
		if(crouching){
			controller.height = standardHeight ;
			controller.center = Vector3 (0, 0, 0);
			crouching = false;
			return;
		}

		if(!crouching)
			crouch();
		}
	if (Input.GetButtonUp ("Crouch")){
		if(crouching){
			controller.height = standardHeight ;
			controller.center = Vector3 (0, 0, 0);
			crouching = false;
			return;
		}

		if(!crouching)
			crouch();
		}
	}

function crouch() {
	controller.height = crouchHeight;
	controller.center = Vector3 (0, -0.5, 0);
	crouching = true;
}

I sort of understand how it works (I´m new to scripting and Unity) but there is one problem I have and that is when I stand up again and if I´m under a GameObject the player stands up inside the GameObject! If there is any easy way to fix this, I’ve tried adding a second collider and have it as a trigger (Not activated by this script) but it didn´t really work out…

If anyone could help me?

you can add a trigger for that area. and use OnTriggerEnter to make the player stay crouch until he exit that area( use OnTriggerExit). here is a link hope it helps.
