Title: Global Transition - Collision Enter
Post by: pandigital on October 06, 2011, 08:34:01 AM

Hi
Could someone please explain how the global system events / transitions work.
For example - I have two cubes both with box colliders and rigidbodies (IsKinematic)
One cube (the player) has an fsm which lets you move it around and I'm now trying the global transition CollisionEnter to detect when it hits the other cube.
At the moment nothing happens.
Should this global transition be a quick way of detecting a collision and jumping to this transition?

TIA

I can trigger a CollisionEnter by disabling isKinematic on the static cube, but then have to deal with physics, which I don't want. So then I freeze all the constraints on the static object. Is this the best way to go?
I think I may be better of with a RayCast...

Will the Wait action override the Global Transition being called on CollisionEnter ?

Sorry, missed this thread before. Sounds like you get the collision events working...?

The Wait action just delays the FINISH system event sent when all actions on a state have finished. E.g., a Wait of 2 seconds guarantees the state will not finish for at least 2 seconds, but if other actions are still running the FINISH event will not be sent until they're all finished.

If you want to send an event after a specific time, use Send Event with a Delay.
