If(Input.GetKeyDown("f")) Does not work on

So i have a fireworks rocket that has a rigid body, and when i enter its collider that has a trigger and the parent of the collider has the rigidbody, i want to be able to press "F" to set the y-axis upwards.

Here it is:

1. #pragma strict
2. 
   
3. var Firework : Rigidbody;
4. 
   
5. function OnTriggerEnter(Other : Collider)
6. {
7. Debug.Log("BOOM!"); // This gets called
8. if(Other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
9. {
11. Debug.Log("BOOM!"); // This also gets called
12. if(Input.GetKeyDown("f"))
13. 
    
14. {
16. Debug.Log("BOOM!"); // This does not get called. So the problem is after "if(Input.GetKeyDown("f"))"
17. fire();
18. }
19. }
20. }
21. 
    
22. function fire () {
23. rigidbody.velocity = Vector3(0,150,0);
24. }

Thanks for reading

 

Well firstly I am pretty sure you use if(input.GetKey (KeyCode.F)).... Is there anyway you could write your code a little bit neater? I could barely read it

 

Please use code tags when posting code.

I assume you want to use OnTriggerStay, otherwise there will only be a single frame when you enter the trigger that you have a chance to press the key.

 

I was recently shown this post, it helps

Edit: Oh well DanielQuick lives up to the name and beat me to it

 

You probably want to add it to the update function, and in the trigger function, set a boolean or something that gets checked in the update.

so for example:

Code (CSharp):

1. var triggered : bool;
2.  
3. function OnTriggerEnter(){
4.     triggered = true;
5. }
6.  
7. function Update(){
8.     if(triggered){
9.         if(Input.GetKeyDown("f")){
10.              // Do my event here
11.         }
12.         triggered = false;
13.     }
14. }

 

haha, i know lol. Its one of my first scripts though

 

Nothing is happening i have the collider set to trigger, checked the size of the collider, and everything.

1. var triggered : bool; did not work, so i changed it too
   1. var triggered : boolean;

 

Done now, thanks Daniel and Ramsdal
