OnTriggerEnter - When player is in zone for 3 seconds, take damage Help

Sorry, I technically posted this a minute ago but due to a radical change in my script, I decided to entirely repost it: I tested the player damage in the ontriggerenter and it works. The ontriggerexit also works. why is the countdown not working?

public class DeathRegion : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float countDown = 3f;
    float zoneTime;
    public GameObject player;
    public ControllerTest2 PLcontroller;

    void Start()
    {
        zoneTime = countDown;
        //PLcontroller = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<ControllerTest2>();
    }

    public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.tag == "Player")
        {
            zoneTime -= Time.deltaTime;
            Debug.Log("COUNTDOWN START");
        }
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (zoneTime <= 0f)
        {
            PLcontroller.takeDamage(100);
        }
    }
    public void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.tag == "Player")
        {
            zoneTime = countDown;
            Debug.Log("Survived");
        }

    }
}

public class DeathRegion : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float countDown = 3f;
    float zoneTime;
    public GameObject player;
    public ControllerTest2 PLcontroller;

    void Start()
    {
        zoneTime = countDown;
        //PLcontroller = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<ControllerTest2>();
    }

    public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.tag == "Player")
        {
            zoneTime -= Time.deltaTime;
            Debug.Log("COUNTDOWN START");
        }
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (zoneTime <= 0f)
        {
            PLcontroller.takeDamage(100);
        }
    }
    public void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.tag == "Player")
        {
            zoneTime = countDown;
            Debug.Log("Survived");
        }

    }
}

onTrigger only happens once there 2 solution for this start timer using bool executed on update, turn it on/off on enter/exit OR use onTriggerStay

oh shit you are right

Steak•2y ago

it happens each enter

that was a really obvious mistake thanks for pointing that out

btw u may want to use Overlap instead on Fixedupdate its not dependent on unity frame
