local triggers in network game

I want triggers that work locally in a network game, i.e. for each player on his own machine only.

Here's my current code, this script is attached to all the objects I want to trigger:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. function Awake() {
4.     renderer.enabled = false; // start out invisible
5. }
6.  
7. function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {
8.     renderer.enabled = true; // make the object visible
9. }
10.  
11.  
12. function OnTriggerExit (other : Collider) {
13.     renderer.enabled = false; // make the object invisible
14. }
15.  

I have a collider around my objects that is larger than the object itself and set to trigger. So when a player comes close to the object, it becomes visible, when he walks away again, it disappears (I also have a nice fade effect, but I left that out here).

But my problem is that this makes the object visible to player A when player B comes close to the object. And that's not what I want. The object should only be visible to whatever player triggered it.


So what's the magic bit that I'm missing here?

 

Sorry to post with no answer.

But I am interested in this too.

For instance, when you are under water, turning on a dark, dense fog makes a pretty convincing looking water. But then everyone outside on the land, will suddenly be in a dense, dark fog.

Would be interesting to be able to assign a few things to a specific camera or player.

=my two cents.

 

What you want to do is use the information that is sent to your Event handlers to find out who collided with your trigger/collider...

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
3. {
4.     if (other.gameObject.name == "MyDude")
5.     {
6.         DoStuff();
7.     }
8. }
9.  

Here's all the stuff you can access from the Collider:

On a networked game you would also add a check to make sure the object is yours. If all the objects are the same on all players (instead of each player having a different game object entirely).

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
3. {
4.     if (other.gameObject.name == "MyDude"  other.networkView.isMine)
5.     {
6.         DoStuff();
7.     }
8. }
9.

Thanks, this helps.

Is there a better way than to test for the name? Like testing if it has a character controller attached or something?

 

I figured out a great solution to this - using tags, it's very simple:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if (other.networkView.isMine  other.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
3.    // do something
4. }
5.
