#pragma strict

var speed = 5.0;

function Start (){}

function Update () { 
    //moving forward/back and left/right
    var x = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime * speed * -1;
    var y = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime * speed * -1;
    transform.Translate(x, y, 0);

    //mouse controls
    if (Input.GetKeyDown ("escape"))
        Screen.lockCursor = false;

    transform.Rotate(0, 0, (Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * 2));

    //jumping
    if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Jump"))
        rigidbody.AddForce(0, 100, 0);  
}  

//stop clipping issues
function OnTriggerStay (touch : Collider){  
    if (touch.gameObject.GetComponent("clipcheck"))
        speed = 0.01;    
}

function OnMouseDown(){ 
    Screen.lockCursor = true; 
}

I have my character model, which has a box collider encompassing it. The character model has an invisible cylinder around its waist that has a circle collider attached.

I'm trying to lower to speed variable when the circle collider touches something. How do I do this?

Is the circle collider actually a trigger?

Yes, it is a trigger.

Ok so you need to change your code in OnTriggerStay to use the name of the object you are hitting. The code you have at the moment is trying to find a script called clipcheck.

function OnTriggerStay (touch : Collider){

    if (touch.name =="clipcheck") {

      speed = 0.01;
    }

}

Note that you will only get a trigger firing if one of the items has a rigidbody attached

I replaced the faulty part of my code with this, and it isn't working. It doesn't affect the speed of my character.

EDIT: Never mind, I'll assign it a rigidbody now and see if it works.

EDIT AGAIN: How do I make the sphere collider not touch the main box collider? The problem I have now is that the sphere collider is touching the box collider on the actual character model, causing the speed to always be super low.

Also the sphere collider might well be colliding with the box collider - was this why you were checking for something in OnTriggerStay?

All I was trying to do was detect if the character model was against a wall.

That's why I created a sphere collider around its waist that was attached to a different object. I can refer to the sphere collider around the cylinder using the 1 script.

The problem I have now is that the sphere collider is touching the box collider that it is inside. How can I make the 2 colliders ignore each other?

If you don't want physical colliders colliding with one another, you can give them a tag "No Collision", then go into your Physical Settings (Edit > Project Settings > Physics), and uncheck the No Collisions with whatever other tags you don't want it to collider with

Sphere collider, not circle. Circle is 2D.

Why do you need an invisible Cylinder ? A gameObject with only the collider would do the same.

Is that code on that gameobject, the one with the sphere collider ?

Are there any game object physically moved that can enter that object, or is it the one moving ? The latter case will not raise trigger events. There is a way, though.
