Disable Input Key while in trigger.

Hi guys, How can i go about disabling an Input Key like "C" when I enter a trigger and enable it when I exit?.

 

You just need to check each frame, or at sensible points, if you are intersecting with that trigger. Then, change a variable based on what is returned. Your key press logic can then look for the desired value of that variable along with the input before it validates true.

 

I haven't been doing program for very long so even though i can some what tell what you are saying I don't know how I would do that.

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. private bool canDoAction = true;
3.  
4. void Update()
5. {
6.    if(canDoAction == true && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.C) == true)
7.        DoAction();
8. }
9.  
10. void OnTriggerEnter()
11. {
12.     canDoAction = false;
13. }
14.  
15. void OnTriggerExit()
16. {
17.     canDoAction = true;
18. }
19.  

 

Thank you very much

 

Exactly that.

 

I have no idea how this works. I have a similar problem but I couldn't get it to work. How did you do it. I want it to be when the trigger is entered, I can't use the Left Arrow. I tried using what is provided but I don't understand. Could you perhaps help me out?

 

Did ypu ever get your answer?? I also need to find out when the player is using left arrow keys the spacebar keycode is disabled so they cannot the spam, I used Instantiate script to the spacebar keycode

 

Thanks this helped me solve a bug I'm encountering
