Hey All - Is there any way to use the physics package to check if colliders are overlapping at an arbitrary time. i.e. in Update()?
There are some utility functions such as Physics.CheckSphere() but unfortunately they do not return any info about which collider they may be touching.
You have OverlapSphere that returns all colldiers overlapping/in contact.
What do you mean “not just in FixedUpdate”, you have the same tools there as you have in Update, I thought you are talking about stuff like OnCollision, I’m not clear on your question about arbitrary times.
Ha,thanks - I totally missed OverlapSphere.
Here’s the problem - VR trackers are updated at Update and just before render-time, so they are too far “ahead” of the physics simulation to do good interaction effects on fast-moving platforms that are controlled by the physics simulation. Trying to find some sort of solution to this.
