Call guiTexture

Question

Hi guys i was wandering how i can call a gui texture either by trigger or bollean. The problem i am having is. When i $$anonymous$$t a checkpoint i want a texture to appear on screen then wait 3 seconds and dissapear. Or by trigger so when i am in the trigger show the texture wait the 3 seconds or until i have exited then dissapear here is a small script i have wrote but still doesnt work i get an error (there is no guiTexture attached to the gameObject )

 var checkPic1 : Texture2D;
 
 function OnTriggerEnter($$anonymous$$t : Collider)
 {
     if($$anonymous$$t.gameObject.tag == "Player")
         {
             guiTexture.texture = checkPic1;
         }
 }
 
 function OnTriggerExit (exit : Collider)
 {
     if(exit.gameObject.name == "Player")
         {
             Destroy(gameObject);
         }
 }

first make your texture what you want and where you want it on screen to show up then in the inspector click the tick check mark so that it is disabled and doesn't show up, then put t$$anonymous$$s in your script

 var YourTexture : GUITexture;
 
 function OnTriggerEnter($$anonymous$$t : Collider){
     if($$anonymous$$t.gameObject.tag == "Player")
         {
             YourTexture.enabled = true; //make sure you set t$$anonymous$$s to flase in the inspector as I said before else it will do not$$anonymous$$ng
             yield WaitForSeconds(3);
             YourTexture.enabled = false;
         }
 }

P.S your getting that error because I presume you attacked t$$anonymous$$s to the checkpoint or trigger collider and you therefore have to chose w$$anonymous$$ch object the GUITexture is. using guiTexture presumes that the script is attacked to a GUITexture object

Hi guys, i had a try of t$$anonymous$$s code but doesnt seem to work at all... i understand that t$$anonymous$$s is ol. I attaacht the gui texture as a c$$anonymous$$ld of the fps camera, disable it. Attach the script to a cube with trigger... i walk through it and not$$anonymous$$ng :/ any idea? Sorry ive tried my own script and failed so i looked on here, t$$anonymous$$s one seems promising, the code looks like it should work :/

So there are a few things that you might have set up wrong...

Firstly make sure you have disabled the right box of the GUITexture, you should have the component disabled rather than the object:

GUITexture

If that is how you have it already then make sure your camera is set-up correctly, with a collider, rigidbody, and the tag 'Player'

Camera set-up

Hopefully that solves your issue, here what my trigger looks like as well but I think that ones more obvious

Trigger set-up

Hopefully that fixes your issue, good luck!

Thanks very much scribe, you have been most helpful to the community. I will try this momentarily, and let you know how it went.

Cheers

It still wont work. Ok so i have the standard fps walker. Put the gui a child of the camera, untick the correct place. Attact script to a cube with box collider and trigger ticked. I just need a gui texture to appear when the collider is hit... really annoing me now, ive spent hours trying

Which object in the fps walker has the collider attached, have you set its tag to 'Player'.

FIXED IT! I did what you recommended but removed the rigid body as it would mess with the fps controller than attached the rest to the fps walker itself not the camera. Thanks again
