Question 2 colliders on 1 object, detect which ran OnTriggerEnter2D?

Hi, I have the following setup for characters in my shooter game:
- Circle collider (head)
- Capsule collider (body)


Everything's been going well for detecting body/headshots. However I just noticed that both colliders are triggering OnTriggerEnter2D and OnTriggerExit2D when entering trigger zones. This is problematic as you could walk in a zone, but then when looking around your head is constantly exiting/entering.

Is there a way to either disable the CircleCollider2D (head) from overlapping these zones, or detect which one ran the OnTriggerEnter2D function so I may ignore it if it's the head?

Thanks!

 

You could trying using Physics2D.IgnoreCollision to filter out certain objects. Personally, I'd add a third collider on another child gameobejct with a different layer specifically for these kinds of trigger zones.

 

Thanks! I actually also found that code right after posting lol

Here's how I used it for anyone else wondering:

Code (CSharp):

1. Head = Unit.GetComponent<CircleCollider2D>();
2. Collider2D[] colliders = GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<Collider2D>();
3.  
4. for(int i=0; i<colliders.Length; i++){
5.     if(colliders[i].GetComponent<TriggerZone>()){
6.         Physics2D.IgnoreCollision(Head, colliders[i]);
7.     }
8. }
