Title: [SOLVED] Can't make trigger/collision working
Post by: hide on March 08, 2014, 10:49:35 AM: Hello there :)
It's been like 2 years since i've stopped using unity+playmaker because of this problem, I hope you'll be able to help me.

I made a very simple shoot-em-up with a player that can shoot missiles, some enemies and enemies that drop bonuses. But I can't make collisions nor triggers working between the player and the bonuses. I tried everything but it never worked... It's never going in the secondary state.
Here's two options I tried, maybe someone can tell what's wrong :
- Trigger event in the player object :

- (currently disabled FSM) collision event in the bonus object (also tried with a trigger but disabled the event in case it had interfered with the first option):

Note i'm using the Playmaker student edition coming with the skillshare tutorial (http://www.skillshare.com/classes/technology/Play-Make-Your-First-Video-Game-in-4-Weeks-from-Scratch-with-Unity-no-coding/2085331358).
Thanks.

The second image is I think good setup, but:
the triggers and colliders, I think not work, if you manually move the object with editor arrows!, only work if the object move with translate or force, ect..

the second:
if you try this setup and dont move the object, you picked "ENTER" collision/trigger, but your object is in rigger/collider, so dont will be work, just if you selected STAY in collider/trigger...

Post by: hide on March 13, 2014, 01:35:33 PM: I assume you're referring to the first screen on your first paragraph, so i set the collision like this :

On the second image it was only a paused game using translate with keys for the player movement and no movement for the yellow ball.

Lastly I tried with a STAY collision, still no sucess.

It may have to do with the unity setup because I tried a lot of options and never got working collision with these two object.

-- do they feature a rigidbody component?
-- is the rigidbody component set to isKinematic?
-- does it really have the tag you expect ( bonus)
-- is it actually set to is trigger or not? a collision is NOT a trigger, and it's only down to a check box, so watch out here as well.

bye,

Jean

Thanks everybody.
