Hello,

I'm pretty new to this scripting stuff. In my scene, I have a character in a room. He opens the door by stepping on a switch. This leads to a second room. In this room, you pick up an item to open another door. The scripting for these 2 events works just fine. The problem happens when I try to use the same type of script to make a third door open when you shoot a target. I can shoot the target and get the door to slide open, but when I shoot the target again, the door keeps sliding.

In my first room, I can step on the switch to open the door, and repeatedly stepping on the switch does nothing (as intended), but using the same kind of script to shoot a target with a fireball for the third room just doesn't seem to end correctly. The door will move every time I shoot the target.

Here is the first script:

var door1opened : boolean = false;
var door1opening : boolean = false;
var timer : float = 0.0;
var door2opened : boolean = false;
var door2opening : boolean = false;
static var Fireballready : boolean = false;

function OnControllerColliderHit(hit:ControllerColliderHit) {

if((hit.gameObject.tag == "Switch1") && (door1opened == false))
{
	door1opening = true;
}

if(hit.gameObject.tag == "Fireball Item")
{
	Destroy(hit.gameObject);
	door2opening = true;
	Fireballready = true;
}

}

function Update () {

if((door1opening) && (door1opened == false))
{
	var door1 = GameObject.FindWithTag("Door1");
	door1.transform.Translate(0, 0, -2 * Time.deltaTime);
	timer += Time.deltaTime;

	if((timer >= .5) && (timer < 1.5))
	{
		door1 = GameObject.FindWithTag("Door1");
		door1.transform.Translate(2 * Time.deltaTime, 0, 2*Time.deltaTime);
	}

	if(timer >=1.5)
	{
	        door1opening = false;
		door1opened = true;
		timer = 0.0;
	}
    }

if((door2opening) && (door2opened == false))
{
	var door2 = GameObject.FindWithTag("Door2");
	door2.transform.Translate(0, 0, -2 * Time.deltaTime);
	timer += Time.deltaTime;

        if((timer >= .5) && (timer < 1.5))
	{
	    door2 = GameObject.FindWithTag("Door2");
	    door2.transform.Translate(2 * Time.deltaTime, 0, 2 * Time.deltaTime);
	}

	if(timer >=1.5)
	{
	    door2opening = false;
	    door2opened = true;
	    timer = 0.0;
	}
}

}

This first script is attached to the player object. It controls the first 2 doors as well as unlocking the ability to shoot a fireball. This all works just fine.

The second script is where the problems are (I think):

var door3opened : boolean = false;
var door3opening : boolean = false;
var timer : float = 0.0;

function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision) {

if((collision.gameObject.tag == "Target1") && (door3opened == false))
{
    door3opening = true;
}

}

function Update () {

if((door3opening) && (door3opened == false))
{
	var door3 = GameObject.FindWithTag("Door3");
	door3.transform.Translate(0, 0, -2 * Time.deltaTime);
	timer += Time.deltaTime;

	if((timer >= .5) && (timer < 1.5))
	{
	    door3 = GameObject.FindWithTag("Door3");
	    door3.transform.Translate(2 * Time.deltaTime, 0, 2 * Time.deltaTime);
	}

	if(timer >=1.5)
	{
		door3opening = false;
		door3opened = true;
		timer = 0.0;
	}
}

}

This second script is attached to my fireball prefab that the character shoots.

Apologies if this looks sloppy. I'm learning.

So, the problem to me seems that OnControllerColliderHit from the first script works differently than OnCollisionEnter from the second script. Other than that I'm at a total loss. Both objects have colliders and rigid bodies.

Thanx for your time.
