How Do I Swap This Boolean?

I've got a problem... I can't figure out how to make this boolean false whenever I am not triggering!

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class PlatformTop : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public GameObject player;
7.     public bool pressure;
8.        
9.         void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D col)
10.         {
11.             if (col.tag == "Player")
12.             {
13.             pressure = true;
14.             }
15.         else
16.         {
17.             pressure = false;
18.         }
19.     }
20. }

I'm not sure how to go about this, as == didn't do diddly squat.

 

Can you do :

pressure = (col.tag == "Player");

?

 

1. initialize it as false to begin with.
2. you probably need to have an OnTriggerExit handler to reset it to false after OntriggerEnter has set it to true.

 

I tried that, and it worked! Thanks.

 

Another option is instead of using a boolean, use an integer and treat it like a boolean, where 0=false and 1=true, then you can do:

value=1-value;

to flip it.

 

Ah, that actually might solve a lot of problems in future if I get lazy. Ha, I can just make every state with one integer. (Probably not but that is an amusing concept)

 

Also you can still use a boolean and swap it in a similar manner:

value = !value;

This sets it to Not whatever it currently is.
if value is true it becomes false and vice-versa.

 

Fascinating. You learn something new every day, eh?
