Switching on and off on collision

Unity Engine
1

Hi guys,

struggling with what should be basic, we’re switching a GUI text on with the following script when u walk into an object with the FPS controller, that has a tag called “head1” -

function OnControllerColliderHit (hit : ControllerColliderHit){
	
	if (hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "head1") {
		
		switcher.switcher();

	}
	
}

This references a static function called “switcher” in a script also called “switcher”, below -

//function to switch GUI Texture on / off 
static function EnableTaggedGUIText(tag : String, enable : boolean) { 

	//check for an object with a certain tag
   var go = GameObject.FindWithTag(tag); 
   if(go) { 
   //	if found, address its GUITexture component
      var gt = go.GetComponent(GUIText); 
      if(gt) { 
       //..and enable it
        gt.enabled=enable; 
      } 
      
     // if not found state that there is no GUITexture on the gameObject
      else { 
          Debug.Log("Error: The GameObject does not have a GUIText component to enable", go); 
      } 
   } 
   //if no tagged game object matching found, return following statement
   else { 
      Debug.Log("Error: Could not find a GameObject tagged "+tag); 
   } 
} 



function Start(){

		EnableTaggedGUIText("head", false);

}


static function switcher(){

	EnableTaggedGUIText("head", true);
	
}

static function off(){

	EnableTaggedGUIText("head", false);
	
}

This script ^^ is attached to the GUItext itself.

That all works fine, but as you can see in the switcher script, we also have a function called “off” to switch off our GUIText, and we need to trigger this when we walked away from the object that has the “head1” tag.

Surely this is a straightforward thing to do? Cant seem to use CollisionExit because it doesnt work with character collider. Can anyone suggest a straightforward way of doing this? Tearing my hair out on this one…

Thanks
