Enabling multiple object animations with one collider?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to build a scene where I have multiple game objects and each of them has their own animation that is triggered separately upon collision with the main collider / player. So far it is working well with one game object. Once I try adding several ones, all animations will start, although it is only entering the trigger zone of say gameobject1.

Any ideas? My script is below.

Thank you!

Code (CSharp):

1. sing System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Switch2 : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.  
8.     public GameObject ObjectToEnable;
9.  
10.     void Start()
11.     {
12.         ObjectToEnable.SetActive(false);
13.     }
14.  
15.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
16.     {
17.         ObjectToEnable.SetActive(true);
18.  
19.     }
20.  
21.  
22.  
23.  
24. }

 

Hi,

I'm not sure if I understand your logic behind this pattern correctly, but; maybe you could implement this so, that you have OnTriggerEnter in your objects, and when your player enters a trigger, it will start whatever it needs to start in that specific object instance.

i.e. something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
2. {
3.     // If it's the player (detect with tag you have set.)
4.     if (other.tag == "Player")
5.     {
6.         // Flip a trigger in this Animator instance to start animation playback.
7.         animator.SetTrigger("reactionAnim");
8.     }
9. }

animator would be of type Animator and something you assign automatically with code or use Inspector to do it.

 

Thank you that was very helpful!
