Player not being recognized by Colliders?

I'm making a 2D RPG and I'm working on the Dialogue system right now, I have an NPC and it has 2, 2D Box Colliders. One is a "is trigger" so the player can go through and activate the system, the other is a box collider so the player can't go through the NPC. Whenever the player enters the "is trigger area" it doesn't notice the player so it can't activate the dialogue system. I have 2 scripts a DialogManager and a DialogActivator. Not sure why it's doing that if anyone can help?

DialogManager:

using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using UnityEngine;

using UnityEngine.UI;



public class DialogManager : MonoBehaviour

{



    public Text dialogText;

    public Text nameText;

    public GameObject dialogBox;

    public GameObject nameBox;



    public string[] dialogLines;



    public int currentLine;



    public static DialogManager instance;

    private bool justStarted;



    // Start is called before the first frame update

    void Start()

    {

        instance = this;



        //dialogText.text = dialogLines[currentLine];



    }



    // Update is called once per frame

    void Update()

    {



        if(dialogBox.activeInHierarchy)

        {

            if(Input.GetButtonUp("Fire1"))

            {

                if (!justStarted)

                {



                    currentLine++;



                    if (currentLine >= dialogLines.Length)

                    {

                        dialogBox.SetActive(false);

                    }

                    else

                    {

                        dialogText.text = dialogLines[currentLine];

                    }

                } else

                {

                    justStarted = false;

                }

            }

        }



    }



    public void ShowDialog(string[] newLines)

    {

        dialogLines = newLines;



        currentLine = 0;



        dialogText.text = dialogLines[0];

        dialogBox.SetActive(true);



        justStarted = true;

    }

}

DialogActivator:

using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using UnityEngine;



public class DialogActivator : MonoBehaviour

{



    public string[] lines;



    private bool canActivate;



    // Start is called before the first frame update

    void Start()

    {

       

    }



    // Update is called once per frame

    void Update()

    {

        if(canActivate && Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") && !DialogManager.instance.dialogBox.activeInHierarchy)

        {

            DialogManager.instance.ShowDialog(lines);

        }

    }



    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)

    {

        if(other.tag == "Player")

        {

            canActivate = true;

        }

    }



    private void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D other)

    {

        if (other.tag == "Player")

        {

            canActivate = false;

        }

    }

}

 

- check if you have a Rigidbody2D on the player
- check if you have a 2D collider of some kind on the player
- put Debug.Log() statements inside your trigger messages to print what the tag is

 

attached is the player prefab:



So i have both a rigidbody2d and a circle collider 2d but still it's not detecting anything.
