The box collider component is a Physics Component that creates an invisible, solid, box-shaped volume.
Component Settings
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Center | The center of the box volume. |
| Size | The width, height and depth of the box volume in local space. |
Example Usage
Level Boundaries
Box colliders are the perfect way to keep players within the bounds of the level. It is recommended to use a visible object instead of an invisible wall, but if you want to make sure players don't escape over the top of a visible wall, you can place a box collider that extends much higher than the visible wall's collider.
Invisible objects
You may want to create an invisible platform as a challenge in a minigame.
Smoothing out collision on a complex object
You may have an object in the scene with complex collision, or holes in the object that players should not enter. Use a box collider to cover these areas to improve and simplify collision.
