Trigger side

[LogLady]

Hi!

Is it possible to detect which side of a cube trigger was entered?

I'd like to send events based on which side of the trigger (top / bottom / front / back / left / right) was entered.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if it's possible with one collider (although it may be, hopefully someone else can fill us in,) but you could try a smaller, flatter collider for each surface of the cube, each with their own tags and able to send their own events on collision.

Breadman, I tried it but for some reason the trigger stops sending events, even reseting it. I was building a lap system trying to prevent the user cheating when racing backwards. I know that if the player races backwards it is his sole problem but I know that it's possible to avoid (like in Mario Kart, Wai Wai Racing or VS. Racing) so I'd like to accomplish it.

Thanks for your help!

Id advice to set up 3 triggers to deactivate/activate the main trigger.
like set one on the back and 2 on both sides.
If player enters one of these triggers,send event to disable checkpoint trigger.

You could also just put 1 trigger in front to activate the main trigger..but this might still be exploited.

As I said, something was not resetting the main trigger after two laps working correctly. I need to move on so I left it for another time. Anyway, thanks for your reply!

Cheers!
