Why is my trigger collider acting like a normal collider?

Question

I have two colliders: A mesh collider, w$$anonymous$$ch is just a normal collider, and a trigger collider to detect when the player is near the object and run some code. I'm using OnTriggerEnter and OnTriggerExit, but the only t$$anonymous$$ngs in them are Debug.Logs.

My player has a rigidbody component, my object does not.

My player $$anonymous$$ts the trigger collider as if it's a solid normal collider and I can't figure out why...

I've solved it by creating a new empty with a trigger parented to the object I wanted the trigger on.

I t$$anonymous$$nk it was simply that the object with the trigger also had a normal mesh collider w$$anonymous$$ch messed with t$$anonymous$$ngs, but I've fixed it just by making a new empty with only a trigger collider.

If you have a similar problem, try that! Here's some sample code for linking up the empty with the collider and the object you wanted the collider code on:

 public GameObject yourObject;
 
 private void OnTriggerEnter(){
           [Your Code Here]
           //make yourObject jump using rigidbody physics
           yourObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(transform.up)
 }
