Vehicle enter/exit, why is my trigger collider not working?

Question

Okay, so I am making a game where you run around space and do stuff in first person. You have the ability to get in a spaces$$anonymous$$p and explore. I am trying to create a script that allows the player to enter and exit the spaces$$anonymous$$p, however when my player enters the box collider not$$anonymous$$ng happens. no GUI to enter the ve$$anonymous$$cle pops up and pressing the key assigned to enter the ve$$anonymous$$cle does not do anyt$$anonymous$$ng. Can some one please help?

Script: using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

 public class CharacterManager : MonoBehaviour
 {
 
     private bool inStars$$anonymous$$p = false;
     Stars$$anonymous$$pManager stars$$anonymous$$pManager;
     public GameObject guiObj;
     GameObject player;
 
 
     void Start()
     {
         stars$$anonymous$$pManager = GetComponent<Stars$$anonymous$$pManager>();
         player = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player");
         guiObj.SetActive(false);
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
     {
 
         if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player" && inStars$$anonymous$$p == false)
         {
             Debug.Log("player has entered trigger");
             guiObj.SetActive(true);
             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.F))
             {
                 Debug.Log("F has been pressed");
                 guiObj.SetActive(false);
                 player.transform.parent = t$$anonymous$$s.gameObject.transform;              
                 stars$$anonymous$$pManager.enabled = true;
                 player.SetActive(false);
                 inStars$$anonymous$$p = true;
             }
         }
     }
     void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
     {
         if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
         {
             guiObj.SetActive(false);
         }
     }
     void Update()
     {
         if (inStars$$anonymous$$p == true && Input.GetKey(KeyCode.F))
         {
             stars$$anonymous$$pManager.enabled = false;
             player.SetActive(true);
             player.transform.parent = null;
             inStars$$anonymous$$p = false;
         }
     }
 }

Hello, your issue is with the tags, the script is attached to the Player, so in the trigger event you need to compare the tag with the Stars$$anonymous$$p, not the player (cant collide with itself), remember to add the tag stars$$anonymous$$p to the s$$anonymous$$p in the inspector before trying

  void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
  {
      if (other.gameObject.tag == "Stars$$anonymous$$p" && inStars$$anonymous$$p == false)

Thank you so much. I feel so dumb, I was attaching the script to my player instead of the Starship.
