Object moving up and down by OnTrigger

Im very new in Unity and trying to make a simple box moving up when the player stand on it and its working:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class elevator : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public GameObject movit;
4.  
5.     public GameObject nott;
6.  
7.     public float speed = 0.05f;
8.  
9.     private void OnTriggerStay()
10.     {
11.         movit.transform.position += movit.transform.up * speed;
12.         nott.transform.position += nott.transform.up * speed;
13.     }

Now I trying to add a command- when the box reach to the first floor, its waiting to the player and when the player stand on the box again it take him back down and then repeat..

the problem is that I just dont secceed to make the moving back down scripte, I just made another box on the first floor with (-): += - movit.transform.up...
and I need only one object noving up and down reacting to trigger, can someone help me with that?

 

This box will just jump up while you staying in trigger. Instead of "fixing" that by setting speed to extremely low values, you must understand what trigger stay function happens multiple times per second and do

Code (CSharp):

1. movit.transform.position += Time.fixedDeltaTime * movit.transform.up * speed;

Because Time.fixedDeltaTime shows you how much time passed since previous frame.

And this is not the way to make lifting platform at all. You want to move platform up while characters stays on it and down when he leaves. You need to use on trigger enter and exit functions a variable for current destination.

When player enters the trigger, check you position and choose destination. When player exits trigger, check and change destination if needed. In Update function move to current destination using Time.deltaTime, not fixedDeltaTime, since fixed is for fixed update only.

 

I just change it from DeltaTime to speed cause I wanted it to move faster but thanks for this fix.
so you saying this script is actually irrelevant and I need to start with new script?

 

Watch this for decent example. There are number of different ways implementing lifts and moving platforms

Making games is a hard work but a lot of fun too. Learn your tools before you start or you will lose a lot of time and probably will not finish your project.

 

Thank you.
Isaw these tutorials. the problem is that im using VR platform and there is a lack of tutorials about elevator platforms without bottons.
floating object not fit to my game.

I made an empty object used as the "border" of the elevator, I useing the simple script above with trigger to make the cube lift when the player on it. cant do the opposite direction when the player on the first floor and wanted to get back down with the same elevator (cube)

 

VR is totally pretty new thing and it will not be easy if you're begginer game developer. I haven't worked with VR so can't help a lot but hey may be you can have two triggers for lift at the top and bottom and let those triggers change lift destination instead of bounding box?

 

jusy not working. the only thing I made is 2 empty objects with 2 cubes, one is for up, when the player stand on the cube:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class elevator : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public GameObject movit;
8.  
9.     public GameObject nott;
10.  
11.     public float speed = 3f;
12.  
13.     private void OnTriggerStay()
14.     {
15.         movit.transform.position += movit.transform.up * speed;
16.         nott.transform.position += nott.transform.up * speed;
17.     }
18.  
19. }

and another on to go back down:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class elevator : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public GameObject movit;
8.  
9.     public GameObject nott;
10.  
11.     public float speed = 3f;
12.  
13.     private void OnTriggerStay()
14.     {
15.         movit.transform.position += -movit.transform.up * speed;
16.         nott.transform.position += -nott.transform.up * speed;
17.     }
18.  
19. }

dont know how to combine them to one script, one cube and one empty object

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public class elevator : MonoBehaviour {
2.     public Transform target;
3.     public float speed;
4.  
5.     private void Update() {
6.         if (target != null) {
7.             if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, target.position) > speed * Time.deltaTime) {
8.                 transform.position += Time.deltaTime * speed * (target.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;
9.             }
10.             else {
11.                 transform.position = target.position;
12.             }
13.         }
14.     }
15. }
16.  
17. public class elevatorTrigger : MonoBehaviour {
18.     public elevatorTrigger next;
19.     public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
20.         var el = other.GetComponent<elevator>();
21.         if (el != null) {
22.             el.target = next.transform;
23.         }
24.     }
25. }

Haven't tested but should work.

 

where should i put every script? when i put the elevatorTrigger in the empty object and the elevator script to the cube, the cube just floatin to the center of the second floor as I press "play" without any move from my side. same when I put both of the scripts in the cube

 

Put elevator on the moving part and triggers to both endpoints. Triggers needs colliders on them. Triggers need to be interconnected, next reference must be set in trigger inspector.

 

still its just start moving upward as I press "play"
you can see here:

https://ufile.io/vezbc7eh

this is the package of the scene

 

Wrong setup.
https://ufile.io/eke1bmwp

 

its 24 kb file

 

2kb scripts, 4kb scene data, remaining 18 may be zip header? idk
i removed everyting what is not needed to make platform go up and back down
this should solve your issue on how to make platform go back down
the only thing you need to do is to enable/disable elevator when player enters or leaves it
my scene does not contain any player

actually this platform script lets you create platform moving between any number of locations

 

Ok thank you very much for the help!
