Object Fall Through Floor [SOLVED]

[coxy17]

Hi, I have a character which jumps forward to land on another platform. All works ok with the platform being 1x1x1 (square) but now ive made i into a thin plaform. (1x 0.1 x1) and the player falls through only when falling (jumping at an angle) and when walking over it, its fine? so it seems like it is the force of the player falling not being detected? is this a common issue?

I think that it works if the player is simply walking but when there is a bit of down force (like a jump up/down) then yes I would say it's simply a matter of the collider being too thin. If you need the platform to be those dimensions why not just add an unrendered mesh collider that is thick enough to support the jumps?

I've have the same problem with floors when I set up rigidbodies for objects in the kinematic department. Even if the floor not only has one but also weighs more than the object itself when I use check off it's Y axis constraint for position. Does it a lot less when I check off both y and z.

Hi Richardh, ill give that a try.

CoffeeANDSoda, ill take a look and see if mine behaves the same.

Thanks Richardh, i used an unrendered mesh collider and it works fine now. was a bit tricky but took a while to get this to work with my game.
