So there’s a couple of ways you can approach it.
OnTriggerEnter

OnCollisionEnter

CheckSphere

OverlapSphere

You have to decide which on works for you.

It sounds like you need to use the OnTriggerEnter
So your script would look something like this

function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider)
{

//Get the Component on the player then set the boolean to true
other.GetComponent(Player).enteredTown = true;
//Destroy the trigger so the event only happens one time
Destroy(gameObject);
}

i tried all that. it didnt seem to work. what i want is a code to add to the script attached to my town gate that will set the EnteredTown bool to true, but it dosent seem to work…

NVM, fixed the problem:

function Update (){
var dist = Vector3.Distance(TownGate.position, Player.position);
if (dist < 10) {
Enteredtown = true;
}
}

Maybe the istrigger button wasn’t on…

Anyways, glad you found a different approach
