How to use OnTrigger functions?

ok, so I am creating a script. There are actually two scripts, one goes on the door, and another goes on the "player manager" which is a super long thin ontrigger capsule collider that has a rigidbody on it. It basically collides with whatever the player is looking at. This is so that the player can interact with objects and doors and such. Another script is on the doorway, and it basically just says which scene the doorway leads to. Here is my player manager script so far.

Code (csharp):

1.  #pragma strict
2.  
3. private var isObject : boolean = false;
4. private var isDoor : boolean = false;
5. private var pausebutton : boolean = true;
6. var doorScene : int;
7. var GUI1 : GUISkin;
8. var GUI2 : GUISkin;
9.  
10. function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {
11. if (other.gameObject.tag == "object") {
12. isObject = true;
13. }
14. if (other.gameObject.tag == "door") {
15. doorScene = other.gameObject.GetComponent.<Doorway>().nextScene;
16. isDoor = true;
17. }
18. }
19.  
20. function OnTriggerExit (other : Collider) {
21. if (other.gameObject.tag == "object") {
22. isObject = false;
23. }
24. if (other.gameObject.tag == "door") {
25. isDoor = false;
26. }
27. }
28.  
29.  
30. function OnGUI () {
31. GUI.skin = GUI1;
32. if (pausebutton) {
33.   if (GUI.Button(Rect(Screen.width/12 - (Screen.width/10)/2, Screen.height/12 - (Screen.height/10)/2, Screen.width/10, Screen.height/7), "")) {
34.   Time.timeScale = 0;
35.   pausebutton = false;
36.   }
37. }
38.  
39. //inventory basic GUI
40. if (pausebutton == false) {
41. GUI.Box(Rect(Screen.width/10.5 - (Screen.width/10)/2, Screen.height/12 - (Screen.height/10)/2, Screen.width/1.1, Screen.height/1.1), "");
42. //backbutton
43. GUI.skin = GUI2;
44.   if(GUI.Button(Rect(Screen.width/8 - (Screen.width/10)/2, Screen.height/8 - (Screen.height/10)/2, Screen.width/10, Screen.height/7), "")) {
45.   pausebutton = true;
46.   Time.timeScale = 1;
47.   }
48. }
49.  
50. //pick up object
51. if (isObject == true) {
52.   if (GUI.Button(Rect(Screen.width/1.2 - (Screen.width/10)/2, Screen.height/2 - (Screen.height/10)/2, Screen.width/10, Screen.height/10), "")) {
53.   TakeObject();
54.   }
55. }
56.  
57. //create open door button
58. if (isDoor == true) {
59.   if (GUI.Button(Rect(Screen.width/1.2 - (Screen.width/10)/2, Screen.height/2 - (Screen.height/10)/2, Screen.width/10, Screen.height/10), "")) {
60.   OpenDoor();
61.   }
62. }
63. }
64.  
65.  
66. function TakeObject () {
67. //pick up object and add it to inventory
68. }
69.  
70. function OpenDoor () {
71. //find the scene that the door is connected to, and change to that scene
72. Application.LoadLevel(doorScene);
73. }
74.  

However it doesn't work. When the player manager STARTS the scene touching the door, than the button appears for a brief few seconds before disappearing. If the player starts far away from the door, than moves towards the door, the button does not appear. What is going on?

 

Ahhh, figured it out. My rigidbody on the player manager didn't have "is kinematic" checked. That fixed all my issues.
