attach points w/ on trigger

[micky]

So I noticed with a sprite that has a trigger collision box that has attachment point weapons with trigger collision boxes, if an enemy hits either the weapon or the players box, there doesnt seem to be a way to tell them apart? I can tell when the weapon hit something because that has its own script, but when something hits either player box during an attack frame, I can't tell which one its hitting if that makes sense.

Website looks amazing now btw, gj.

You can attach whatever you like on the attach point - it could even be a box collider with its own script / tag / layer on there to help you identify whats hitting what.

Glad you like the website, makes it look less 90s

Ya I did that much, so like, when walking into each other I get this currently
-----------------
player touched enemy -> no problems yet
enemy touched player -> no problems yet

on attached weapon hit (with its own collider) I get this though
----------
player touched enemy -> cant tell if this originated from the weapon because all I get is the enemy collider in ontriggerenter, which is the enemy, I cant tell if it's the weapon collider or the players sprite collider
enemy touched player -> same
weapon touched enemy -> this part works fine because a separate script is attached to the weapon

I think it's because the weapon attach points are parented it's considered all the same collider? confused as to how to get this working :/

So it returns the enemy collider, regardless of what subcollider it actualyl hits? Do you have a (kinematic) rigidbody on this collider? If you dont, I recommend trying with it in there. It won't merge colliders across rigid body boundaries.

The sprite has a 2D Toolkit generated box collider set to trigger with a kinematic rigid body attached, and then the weapon attach point is the same thing,

I read that somewhere and tried it but I still get the same effect, the weapon hits it and I get an event from the weapon and the sprite.

I'm reading some other things on the unity forums says I need to use OnCollision for contact points or something because it's a compound, but I'm not using the physics engine (mostly rays) so both have to be triggers.

I've run out of things to suggest now. I'll be happy to look if you create a simple repro case for this. support at unikronsoftware.com if you'd like to do that.
