Title: Off track timer
Post by: ShazBang on June 02, 2016, 03:52:39 AM

Hey, making a simple racing game for a project and I'm having some trouble adding a timer that counts down whenever the player's car leaves the track... once the timer hits zero then the player loses the game and has to restart.

How should I go about checking that the player has left the track? I've tried using triggers but they take a very long time to set up and my track is huge! I'm using EasyRoads3D for the track by the way. I have some ideas on doing the timer but I mainly need help the player leaving the track

Thanks

I've found that the EasyRoads road object has a collider built into it, but it isn't able to be a trigger unless I make the collider convex, which screws the road up completely... is there another way to create a trigger on the road object?

Hello,
you could check ground layer for the road so if it's offroad for x seconds, it counts as off track.
Check it with grounded if wheel colliders or raycast from the car, like every second or so.

Hi,
Maybe you can duplicate the collider and make that as trigger?
