Detect which collider trigger occured

Hello

I have a game object with two sphere colliders one which is large and one much smaller.

As a character enters each one i want different behavior to occur, but i don't know how to check which collider was triggered given depending on direction of travel the larger collider might not trigger if it is attacked from behind.

Is there a unique id system for box colliders at all that can be passed to on trigger enter / exit?

If not how can i do something like it? As unity really needs such a system in place!

 

Im not actually sure if there is a way for that, I guess one way could be using a child and giving it a separate collider.

Why dont you simply calculate the distance between object a and b?

 

just put the colliders on multiple game objects

 

Ok i'll use child game objects, kinda frustrating as that means more scripts to manage and connect on start/awake !

 

make a script that, just has some UnityEvents that it fires off, when stuff hits its collider, than put this a a component on all your colliders. Than after that you can add methods from 1 script as the listeners to the colliders UnityEvents.
