    There are trigger functions in Unity so do a search on (OnTriggerEnter or OnTriggerExit) and I'm sure things will get a bit more clear.

    If you have a game object with a meshcollider attached to it, you can set a property 'is trigger' to true inside the inspector.

    Inside your script you can then check with the OnTriggerEnter function if some 'other' collider has enterered the trigger, and if so, perform any desired action.

    If you like to know more, either read some more about it or wait till someone else comes in and can give you more details on this because I'm a starter with Unity myself :) However, the function itself is pretty easy to understand.

    Oh btw, the 'other' collider is if I'm correct a special case, so you don't have to assign a specific collider in the script in order for the trigger to work, it will get triggered by any other collider that collides with it.
