Hi so I'm quite new to Unity and currently experiencing issues with colliders, a quick summary of what I have.

Player >

Object = Capsule ( Directly created through Unity )
Components = CharacterController, CapsuleCollider & a PlayerController script

Basic Tile >

Object = Rectangle ( Imported from blender )
Components = BoxCollider

this combination works well, no issues. However when I get to slightly more complex objects, such as elevated terrain I can't apply a box collider because the surface isn't flat. So my next thought was to add a Mesh Collider but unfortunately it doesn't seem to do anything effective ( my player falls through ) I don't know whether that's because Mesh Colliders are only relevant to RigidBodies? Unfortunately though I can't switch from a CharacterController to a RigidBody.

So I'm not sure what to do, maybe MeshColliders are reponsive to a CharacterController and my settings aren't adjusted correctly?

  • \$\begingroup\$ Have you marked the mesh collider component as convex? Mesh Colliders that aren't marked convex will only work for Meshes that are marked as static (top right of the inspector window) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 31, 2021 at 21:26
  • \$\begingroup\$ To be more precise: static Mesh Colliders that are not convex will not collide with other Mesh colliders, but can still collide with dynamic capsules. It's possible that your capsule was spawned inside the convex region instead of outside of it. Can you show us a screenshot so we can understand the shape of object you're working with? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 31, 2021 at 21:57
  • \$\begingroup\$ I managed to fix it based on your advice. It was due to convex not being set, as well as me applying a mesh collider to the prefab and not the object directly, thank you for the help. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 31, 2021 at 22:48
