I'm trying to make a player controller that jumps only when a specified in a property Collider collides with anything. For now, I can detect when a collision has occurred, but can't detect which are the two bodies that have collided. Does the event trigger only when one of the colliding bodies is the one that the script is applied to. If so, how can I handle events on behalf of other objects (or even better, detect global collisions)
Here is my player controller hierarchy:
Capsule
|
+- Camera
|
+- Floor Collider
P. s.: Sorry for the question's short length
Let me see if i got your question, you want to detect when the player is touching the floor so that it can only jump when on the floor. Is this right?
The floor has a Collider as well right? Add a tag on the floor object so that we can identify who is the Collider.
And then on the Player Controller do something like:
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
if(other.gameObject.tag == "floor")
{
allowJump = true;
}
}
And the opposite so that we know that the player can't jump
void OnCollisionExit(Collision other)
{
if(other.gameObject.tag == "floor")
{
allowJump = false;
}
}

I was creating a multiplayer first-person medieval fighting game based on Skyrim and For Honor combat, with 3 different stances. In it, you can attack from 3 stances, and if the opponent is not holding the same stance, he takes the attack, otherwise he parries and the attacker takes a quick stun.
The problem starts when the Sword's Hitbox hits the player's own hitbox, causing unwanted results.
That's why I want to know if there is a way for making the player's sword ignore the collision with the player itself, so that he can't attack himself.
I also tried to put the method: Physics.IgnoreCollision(collider, selfCollider); Inside the OnTriggerEnter() function, Start() and Update(), and no solution worked.
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Enemy" || other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
{
//instant enemy combat
CombatManager enemy = other.gameObject.GetComponentInChildren<CombatManager>();
Debug.Log(enemy.currentStance);
//If enemy stance is not the same of the attacker
if(enemy.currentStance != this.currentStance)
{
//enemy is damaged
//Get enemy LifeManager and subtract its health
enemy.GetComponentInParent<LifeManager>().currentHealth -= swordDamage;
}
else
{
anim.SetTrigger("Parried");
}
}
Try:
if(other.transform.root != transform.root)
{
// NOT self collision
}
This basically checks if both objects belong to the same hierarchy. In other words if they have the same top-most GameObject or root.
Obviously I made some presumptions as to how your players avatars are rigged. Perhaps you will need to tweak this solution to suit your hierarchy.
I'm very new to C# and Unity and am working on a simple platformer for a school project. I'm currently trying to get a piece of group that does damage over time to the player. To detect whether the player is on this piece of ground, I thought I could use the same code as I did for my ground check, but with altered variable names etc. However the ground check code works, and the detection for the damage over time doesn't and I have no idea why.
void CheckIfGrounded()
{
Collider2D collider = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(isGroundedChecker.position, checkGroundRadius, groundLayer);
if (collider != null)
{
isGrounded = true;
}
else
{
if (isGrounded)
{
lastTimeGrounded = Time.time;
}
isGrounded = false;
}
}
void CheckIfDOT()
{
Collider2D collider = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(isDOT.position, checkDOT_AreaRadius, DOT_AreaLayer);
if (collider != null)
{
damageOverTime = true;
}
else
{
damageOverTime = false;
}
}
The first thing is that you need to know how Physics2D.OverlapCircle works.
As in unity documentation, it says :
Checks if a Collider falls within a circular area.
The circle is defined by its centre coordinate in world space and by its radius.
It means that from one point, which is position, they will draw a circle have radius like the radius you use and if there is any collider is in that range, it will result in the collider2d, like your example.
You need to check :
Where is that point : In the player or in the obstacles ?
Is the circle big enough for collider to fall within ? ( depends on radius )
Try to use Debug.Log() to show if the function is executed normally
My animations enters a state and it's collision with enemy projectiles either defends himself or gets hurt depending on what animation he is currently in. I'm trying to detect collisions with the ONTRIGGERENTER function and boxcollider2D's but it's not having any affect. I want to figure out how to correctly facilitate trigger enters and collisions between these animations.
I've already tried giving my sprite a tag and calling that tag when the ONTRIGGERENTER function is called but it didn't work. I also tried a more complicated way of calling the tag of the collider but that didn't work either. How do you access the trigger when it's an animation?
string DefenceAnimTag = "Defending";
string DestroyEnemTag = "Eliminated";
//This code is connected to the enemy projectile and trying to
//sense when it's collided with the player
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider2D col)
{
if (col.tag == Defending)
{
GetComponent<Animator>().SetBool("Elim", true);
}
else { //deal damage to the player }
}
//The first method didn't work so I tried a second method.
//Here is an alternative attempt at detecting triggers in
//animations.
void OnCollisionStay2D(Collider2D col)
{
if (col.gameobject.CompareString("Defending"))
{
GetComponent<Animator>().SetBool("Elim", true);
}
}
//This method didn't work either even though the Animation
//WOULD be Defending
I expected enemy projectiles to collide with my player when he was defending himself and get defeated. I knew that it was working when the Enemy projectiles transition into their Elim state, where they get defeated by enemy defenses, however they made collisions and then continued unaffected.
Okay, okay, I figured it out. Because a Gameobject can have many animations to it, you cannot go by the tag that the GameObject in the inspector has. You have to go by the title of the Animations that is currently playing. In order to access the animation currently playing we must use the following code:
AnimatorClipInfo[] m_AnimClipInf;
string m_ClipName;
void Start()
{
//Set up our projectile for possible Elimination
//upon Collision
Getcomponent<Animator>().SetBool("Elim", false);
}
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D col)
{
m_AnimClipInf = col.GetComponent<Animator>
().GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo(0);
m_ClipName = m_AnimClipInf[0].clip.name;
if (m_ClipName == "Defending")
{
GetComonent<Animator>().SetBool("Elim", true);
//Projectile gets eliminated
}
}
Is there a way to detect if the collider on the player (with a rigidbody) object is not colliding with any other collider in a 2D environment?
Not per se, but there are two ways you can get the information. It's easiest to keep an int counter, and increment it in OnCollisionEnter and decrement in OnCollisionExit. When the counter is 0, there are no collisions.
Another way, which will tell you which colliders are overlapping but not necessarily if they are touching, is to use a physics function. Note which type of collider you have--sphere, capsule, box. Knowing the size/shape/position of the collider, you can call Physics.OverlapBox, Physics.OverlapCapsule, or Physics.OverlapSphere. Give the function the same shape as your collider, and it will return the colliders that overlap that space. (For 2D colliders, you can use the Physics2D.Overlap* functions.)
/edit - actually piojo's idea with counters is better, just use int instead of bool.
One way would be to add an int to your script called collisions and set it to 0. Then if at any point the collider fires OnCollisionEnter just increment it, and in OnCollisionExit decrement it.
Something like this should work for 3D:
public int collisions = 0;
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
collisions++;
}
void OnCollisionExit(Collision collision)
{
collisions--;
}

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider.OnCollisionExit.html
I don't understand what's with all the number keeping. I just did this for when my character jumps or falls off the edge and it works great.
Both my player and terrain have colliders. I tagged my terrain with a "Ground" tag.
Then check if I am currently in contact with the collider with OnCollisionStay()
void OnCollisionStay(Collision collision)
{
if (collision.collider.tag == "Ground")
{
if(animator.GetBool("falling") == true)
{
//If I am colliding with the Ground, and if falling is set to true
//set falling to false.
//In my Animator, I have a transition back to walking when falling = false.
animator.SetBool("falling", false);
falling = false;
}
}
}
void OnCollisionExit(Collision collision)
{
if (collision.collider.tag == "Ground")
{
//If I exit the Ground Collider, set falling to True.
//In my animator, I have a transition that changes the animation
//to Falling if falling is true.
animator.SetBool("falling", true);
falling = true;
}
}
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
if (collision.collider.tag == "Obstacle")
{
//If I collide with a wall, I want to fall backwards.
//In my animator controller, if ranIntoWall = true it plays a fall-
//backwards animation and has an exit time.
animator.SetBool("ranIntoWall", true);
falling = true;
//All player movement is inside of an if(!falling){} block
}
}
I am trying to play a particle effect when an enemy is killed but it seems to play on a randomly selected one rather than the one that was hit. However the enemy that was hit still disappears and still add points to the score.
At the moment I have three scripts to carry this out (All have been shortened so I'm only showing the relevant code):
One which is attached to boxes that are thrown at enemies that detects if they have collided with an enemy prefab.
void OnCollisionEnter (Collision theCollision) {
if (canProjectileKill == true) {
// If the projectile hits any game object with the tag "Enemy" or "EnemyContainer".
if (theCollision.gameObject.tag == "Enemy") {
GameObject.Find("EnemyExplosion").GetComponent<enemyDeath>().ProjectileHasHitEnemy();
// Destroy the projectile itself.
Destroy (gameObject);
// Destroy the game object that the projectile has collided with (E.g. the enemy).
Destroy (theCollision.gameObject);
GameObject.Find("Manager").GetComponent<projectileSpawner>().deleteProjectile();
}
}
}
Another that is attached to the enemy prefabs which detects if they have been hit by a box.
void OnCollisionEnter (Collision theCollision) {
if(theCollision.gameObject.tag == "Projectile") {
GameObject.Find("EnemyExplosion").GetComponent<enemyDeath>().EnemyHasBeenHit();
}
}
I then run an if statement asking if both the box has hit the enemy prefab AND if the enemy prefab has been hit by the box in an attempt to identify a single prefab rather than all of them. However this still doesn't work.
public bool HasProjectileHitEnemy;
public bool HasEnemyBeenHitByProjectile;
void Start () {
gameObject.particleSystem.Stop();
HasProjectileHitEnemy = false;
HasEnemyBeenHitByProjectile = false;
}
public void ProjectileHasHitEnemy () {
// From projectile.
HasProjectileHitEnemy = true;
}
public void EnemyHasBeenHit () {
// From enemy.
HasEnemyBeenHitByProjectile = true;
PlayParticleSystem();
}
public void PlayParticleSystem () {
if (HasEnemyBeenHitByProjectile == true && HasProjectileHitEnemy == true) {
gameObject.particleSystem.Play();
HasProjectileHitEnemy = false;
HasEnemyBeenHitByProjectile = false;
}
}
}
I am aware this is a long question but I have been stuck on this for over a week, so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you :)
I'm not sure what kind of object EnemyExplosion is, but your problem seems to be the search for this object. During OnCollisionEnter you know exactly between which objects the collision occurred. But now you're starting a search for any object that is called EnemyExplosion. That's the reason your particles appear random.
Update:
Ok, with your structure something like that
EnemyContainer
- EnemyExplosion
- Particle System
- EnemyModel
- Collider
If EnemyModel contains the collider, you can get to EnemyExplosion and finally enemyDeath the following way.
var explosion = theCollision.transform.parent.gameObject.GetComponent<EnemyExplosion>();
explosion.GetComponent<enemyDeath>().ProjectileHasHitEnemy();
Now that you're accessing the correct object, you can remove some of your double checks and rely on one collider event.
I seem to have found a way around this. Instead I've just set it to instantiate the particle system whenever an enemy detects that it has collided with a projectile. I then use a Coroutine to delete the particle system 2 seconds after.
