Can I use Unity's built-in physics system for trigger detection?
—Yes, Unity's physics system provides convenient functions for detecting triggers. You can use kinematic rigid bodies to handle trigger interactions efficiently.
Do I need to use quad trees for my custom trigger system?
—Not necessarily. If you have a small number of objects to compare with, iterating through them manually is sufficient. Quad trees are more suitable for optimizing performance with a large number of objects.
How can I handle different trigger states in my system?
—You can change the Gizmo color to differentiate between trigger states. For example, set the color to red for objects outside the trigger and white for objects inside.
Are there any alternatives to the Unity Gizmos functions for debug drawing?
—Yes, you can explore plugins like 'sheeps' for advanced debug drawing functions in Unity. This plugin offers more options and flexibility for visualizing your trigger system.
What are the benefits of creating a custom trigger system?
—Creating a custom trigger system gives you full control over how the triggers work in your Unity project. You can customize the interaction logic and optimize performance based on your specific requirements.
