Question

I have a collider set as a trigger on my moving rigidbody, which is the size of the rigidbody. I have another trigger, which detects when my rigidbody goes through, and prints the name of the rigidbody collider.

When the rigidbody collider enters the trigger, it prints the rigidbody's name more then once (up to 5 times). But if I reduce the size of the rigidbody collider so that it's much smaller then the trigger checking for it, it only prints the name once.

Does the size of the other collider matter? If the collider entering the trigger is bigger then said trigger, is it going to detect the collision more then once?

Thanks for your time! Stephane

This is a problem i recently had and asked about and was asked before here is the link to the answer. "Edited from here." here is the chunk of code i have been using with the most up to date version of unity and it seems to be working fine.

function OnTriggerEnter(col : Collider){

if(col.tag == "waypoint" && !isTriggered ){
    isTriggered = true;
    ChangeWayPoint();

}

}

function ChangeWayPoint(){

if(waypoints != 11){
    curWayPoint ++;
    isTriggered= false;
    print(curWayPoint);

Yes I tried setting a flag like in the example, but like I said above, it still happens twice no matter what I do...weird.

OnTriggerEnter - Same collider triggers multiple times?, is size a factor?
