disable mouse look and weapon

Question

ok so i have a code door and when i walk up to the door a gui code panel appears for me to enter the code to unlock it but the camera keeps moving along with the mouse and when i click the open button my gun fires. Here is what i have so far, the mouse just doesn't stop.

 var isCamPaused : boolean ;

function OnTriggerEnter(collision: Collider){

 isCamPaused = true;

}

function OnTriggerExit(collision: Collider){

 isCamPaused = false;

}

function Awake(){

 if(isCamPaused){
         isCamPaused = true;
         GameObject.Find("First Person Controller").GetComponent("MouseLook").enabled = false;

         GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent("MouseLook").enabled = false;
         }

}

Here is a fix for your problem Mate, There was one major thing you where doing wrong you where saying OnTriggerEnter But you where not saying what you collide with to set the trigger

var isCamPaused : boolean = false;

function Awake()

{

 isCamPaused = false;

 if(isCamPaused == true)

     {

         gameObject.Find("FirstPersonController").GetComponent("MouseLook")

.enabled = false;

}

function OnTriggerEnter(hit : Collider)

{

 if(hit.GameObject.name == "YourTrigger")

 {

     isCamPaused = true;

 }

}

function OnTriggerExit(unhit: Collider)

{

 if(unhit.gameObject.name == "YourTrigger")

     {

         isCamPaused = false;

     }

}

i set a box collider as trigger on the same item and if i watch the inspector window whilst running my game when i hit the collider the (isCamPaused boolean does change to true but the mouse still works so i dont think anything is wrong with the trigger part as that seems to be the only working part haha. but im only a beginner so i may be totally wrong i will try this code.

$$anonymous$$aybe it could be your FPS controller rename it so that there are no spaces in the inspector as with most fps controllers they are spelt with spaces do the below

First Person Controller --> To this FirstPersonController

ok just to make it clear i have this script attached to a door and need the cam to stop as a gui code panel pops up to enter a key code to open the door. what im trying to say is because the code isnt attached to the First Person Controller will if be able to find the $$anonymous$$ouse Look script

 GameObject.Find("First Person Controller").GetComponent("$$anonymous$$ouseLook").enabled = false;

does this part of the script search for the component everywhere or does the script only search the item it is attached to? dont know if this is very clear im just thinking because the script isnt attached to the FPC will it find a component attached to the FPC haha im a noob incase you have not already guessed so still not quite sure how everything works.

You are using Awake in the wrong sense. Awake is called internally by the Unity Runtime Environment exactly 1 time, when the component is initialized.

You want to wrap your logic into another function and call this from your OnTriggerEnter() function like this:

 function OnTriggerEnter(collision: Collider)
 {
     disableCamera();
 }

 function disableCamera()
 {
     GameObject.Find("First Person Controller").GetComponent("MouseLook").enabled = false;
     GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent("MouseLook").enabled = false;
 }

And btw, you are doing yourself a favour if you stop using GameObject.Find() and instead use fix references to any external objects. Also better use the generic version of GetComponent for type safety.

Cheers, Tommy

say i have this script attached to a cube with a box collider trigger and when i touch the cube i want it to freeze the FPC mouse look. should it work? the script is asking to disable the FPC mouse look even tho the script is not attached to the FPC is this allowed?

 function OnTriggerEnter(collision: Collider){


     paused();

 }

 function OnTriggerExit(collision: Collider){

     unpaused();

 }

 function paused()
 {
         
         GameObject.Find("First Person Controller").GetComponent("$$anonymous$$ouse Look").enabled = false;
         GameObject.Find("$$anonymous$$ain Camera").GetComponent("$$anonymous$$ouseLook").enabled = false;
   }

function unpaused() {

         GameObject.Find("First Person Controller").GetComponent("$$anonymous$$ouse Look").enabled = true;
         GameObject.Find("$$anonymous$$ain Camera").GetComponent("$$anonymous$$ouseLook").enabled = true;
   }

I have never seen function

 OnTriggerEnter(collision: Collider){
 
 
     paused();
 
 }
 

    i would do this 
 function OnTriggerEnter(hit : Collider)
 {
     if(hit.gameObject.tag == player)
         {

GameObject.Find("First Person Controller").GetComponent("Mouse Look").enabled = false;

GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent("MouseLook").enabled = false;
