An Action That Toggles An Object's Collider On/Off
This guide provides instructions for setting up the EntityToggleCollision action. In the sample app, every time the avatar enters the green trigger area, a notification is sent to the wall and the collider on the wall is toggled on/off. The wall is green when the avatar can pass through and red when the avatar can not pass through.
In this example, a trigger is created and when the avatar enters the trigger area, an action sends a notification to toggle another object's collider on/off. Any object can be used as a trigger, as long as the object has a collision component. This example uses a 3D box as the trigger area.
A. Add a 3D object to the scene.
B. The Collision component is not required for EntityToggleCollision action to work. The Collision component is required for the EntitySubscribeTriggerEnter trigger that will be used in this example.
C. Click the Edit Viverse Extension button.
A. In the VIVERSE extension, select the TriggerAndAction plugin for the Select plugins dropdown.
B. Add a Trigger and select EntitySubscribeTriggerEnter.
C. Add local-player to the tags to filter field.
D. Add an Action and select NotificationCenterPublish
E. Create a unique notification name and add it to the notification name to publish field. In this example, the notification is called ToggleWall.
A. In the VIVERSE extension, select the TriggerAndAction plugin for the Select plugins dropdown.
B. Add a Trigger and select NotificationCenterSubscribe.
C. The same text that was added to the notification name to publish needs to be added to the notification name to subscribe.
D. Add an Action and select EntityToggleCollision.
Create An Action That Enables An Object's Collider
This guide provides instructions for setting up the EntityEnableCollision action. In the sample app, every time the avatar enters the red trigger area, a notification is sent to the wall object and the collider on the wall object is enabled. The wall is green when the avatar can pass through and red when the avatar can not pass through.
In this example, a trigger is created and when the avatar enters the trigger area, an action sends a notification to enable another object's collider. Any object can be used as a trigger, as long as the object has a collision component.
A. In the VIVERSE extension, select the TriggerAndAction plugin for the Select plugins dropdown.
B. Add a Trigger and select EntitySubscribeTriggerEnter.
C. Add local-player to the tags to filter field.
E. Add an Action and select NotificationCenterPublish.
F. Create a unique notification name and add it to the notification name to publish field. In this example, the notification is called EnableWall.
A. In the VIVERSE extension, select the TriggerAndAction plugin for the Select plugins dropdown.
B. Add a Trigger and select NotificationCenterSusbscribe.
C. The same text that was added to the notification name to publish needs to be added to the notification name to subscribe.
D. Add an Action and select EntityEnableCollision.
Create An Action That Disables An Object's Collider
This guide provides instructions for setting up the EntityDisableCollision action. In the sample app, every time the avatar enters the green trigger area, a notification is sent to the wall object and the collider on the wall object is disabled. The wall is green when the avatar can pass through and red when the avatar can not pass through.
In this example, a trigger is created and when the avatar enters the trigger area, an action sends a notification to disable another object's collider. Any object can be used as a trigger, as long as the object has a collision component.

The avatar is able to pass through the wall when the wall’s collider is disabled.
Before the avatar enters the green trigger area, the wall is red and the avatar can not pass through it.
