Trigger Event doesn't trigger

[dshad44]

I've been having issues with my triggers not firing lately. It's very basic, I want it to send an event when an object enters. With tag or without, I don't care. I just want it to go past the trigger state. Is anyone having issues with triggers not functioning as they're supposed to?

hi what exactly are you talking about, are you talking about trigger events or global events after the trigger events have been registered?

if trigger events
1. ensure your objects have a rigid body on them
2. increase the size of one of the colliders
3. speed might also be an issue. might be moving too fast through a small collider.(this is rare but possible)
there might be a number if issues with this, i would like to know what you're trying to do or what isn't working - is it a 2d or a 3d game?

if global events
1. ensure that the gameobject your sending the fsm to has only one fsm
2.or you can simply use broadcast all

Thanks for the reply.

It's a 3D game. I have a sphere tagged Bomb slowly falling in the negative Y direction. At the bottom of the screen, I made a large cube to be the Trigger with On Trigger Enter (which looks for the Bomb tag) and Send Event: Enter. On that same state, I have a transition event called Enter which moves onto another state. Once in that second state, I added a bunch of actions.

Well, when I hit play and observe the flow of the state machines, it never leaves the first state despite the Bomb traversing the trigger cube. If I use a Collider Event, I am able to get the Bomb to "hit" the cube at the bottom (which is no longer a trigger) and move forward with the transition event.

Are transition events only used for Player or am I missing something?

Thanks again

Sorry, that was meant to say "Are Trigger Events" only meant to be used for Player, such as FPSController, etc? I can't seem to get the sphere and cube to interact with each other using Trigger Event the way I imagine it should.

Hi,

 triggers works for every scenario, but you need to have rigidbodies on them, that's likely what you are missing.
