Particle Collision on a Collider

Hi,

I want to trigger code off the result of a particle system hitting a collider.

If this was a game object, it would be:

Code (CSharp):

1. void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other)
2. {
3. if (other.tag == "Particle")
4. {
5.  

...and off we go. But it's not. From googling, I understand it is not possible to get a particle to trigger a collider on enter. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So, instead, we go...

Code (CSharp):

1. void OnParticleCollision(GameObject other)
2. {
3. if (other.tag == "Particle")
4. {

...and that supposedly works.

But, in the former example, it works when the collider is a trigger; in the latter example it works when the collider is not. However, I don't want the particle to hit the object, I want it to hit it's collider - which is (for my purposes) considerably larger than the object. Therefore I can't make that collider a non-trigger, because then everything else will hit it too. A problem.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution, please?

Thanks,
A
