Activate Trigger When in Trigger

Currently trying to figure out how to transition between scenes smoothly and trying to use a "E" to activate system but for some reason it only works when approaching the scene.load trigger. So in short i con only hold E while approaching it not while I'm actually in the trigger which is what I'm wanting. Any suggestions?

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
5.  
6. public class LevelManager : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider sceneTrigger)
9.     {   if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E))
10.         if (sceneTrigger.CompareTag("Player"))
11.             {
12.             SceneManager.LoadScene("inside basement 1", LoadSceneMode.Single);
13.             SceneManager.UnloadSceneAsync("a mans modified unknown");
14.             }
15.     }
16. }
17.  

 

try OnTriggerStay()
because OnTriggerEnter() will only run once, so you cannot really do keyboard polling there. (it doesnt loop)

 

okay see that's what i thought it was but it just wasn't working. Any ideas on a player position saver for in between scenes?
