2D RigidBody + Continuous Collision + IsTrigger = Doesn't work

Unity Engine
1

I’ve noticed that if you use Continuous Collision Detection, on a dynamic 2d rigidbody + set the collider to isTrigger, it doesn’t get the same precision as it would with a non-trigger collider.

With the non-trigger collider, I tested fast objects going through a thin wall and they always hit the wall.
With the isTrigger collider, I did the same test and the OnTriggerEnter2D function doesn’t get called all the times.

Is it a bug? is it expected? is there any other way to achieve the “continuous detection with isTrigger” behavior?

Any chance of a mod moving my thread to “Physics” forum? I just noticed that this question might fit there better.

It’s expected. Continuous will stop the body at the point of impact but obviously triggers don’t stop bodies so it’s not used there.
