Making interactive objects collide with other objects properly.

[coffeeANDsoda]

In the picture below when I have another object collide with walls or whatever, it doesn't work. Is there a way to solve this without having to make multiple layers? Or can it be solved with a FSM?

[coffeeANDsoda]

Anyone? This is a issues I am still having regarding collision.

Hi,

 Can you clarify, I don't get it what doesn't work and how are your gameobject arranged?

Hi,

I have a object with a box collider. The problem is when I have it come into contact with other objects that do have colliders, it acts like trigger is enabled. It's like the object acts like it doesn't even have a box collider. Get the same results with a mesh collider.

Do you have a rigidbody attached?

Do you have a rigidbody attached?

Yeah. With Kinematic on and Constraints except for Y position.

If you want it to react to physics then you must move it with physics. Directly changing the Transform will lead to problems.

If I can't modify the Transform, how am I suppose to make the object be positioned or scaled properly?

By using Physics inputs like AddForce and AddTorque, Physics Joints, other collisions, custom controllers, etc..

The built-in Character Controller component does something similar without a Rigidbody.

So you would say that it would be better (like in the example picture) to add a character controller even though that object going through other colliders has a FSM? Cause when I try to set up that object to be carried around a level without one (since it is needed for the player to pick it up cause it has a mouse pick event plus a move towards action) I'm unable to pick it up.

Sorry, I can't really figure out what you are asking there...

In that screenshot, the bolder (the object going through the flower pot)has a FSM with a Move Towards action because I can't get that action to work on a another trigger(which is parented to the player) to move and carry objects around the whole scene.

So my point is do you have a solution to this problem, having interactive objects colliding with other static or regular objects that DON'T have FSMs?

[Lane]

There is no single answer to your question. The solution depends entirely on your game. You should read up about the collision system in Unity and decide how you intend to approach the problem as a whole, as basically everything in your game will revolve around how you decide to approach this issue.

Regardless if a objects scale is less than 1 and for smaller walls(cubes) are around four and half?
