Can't see Wheel Collider. What could be wrong?

[Deeeds]

I’ve tried everything I can think of, and watched and done tutorials, but can’t get to see a wheel collider in the editor.

Nor be sure of it working. It goes through things, falling through planes and cubes created as ground.

I’ve done the setup right, as per tutorials, but could there be something I’m forgetting to switch on? Or off?

using:
Unity 2018.1b13

[Deeeds]

Have created new projects, and tried different rendering modes in viewports. Still no visible wheel collider outlines as per tutorials and scene in all videos and screenshots others create.

Mystified.

Same problem in latest 2018.2b2

and this box is checked:

Maybe the Rigidbody is missing? The WheelCollider won’t draw any outline unless there’s a Rigidbody component in its GameObject or any of its ancestors.

Try this in a new scene:

• Create a cube (GameObject > 3D Object > Cube)
• Add a Rigidbody component (Component > Physics > Rigidbody)
• Add a WheelCollider (Component > Physics > Wheel Collider)

You should see the WheelCollider outline there:

How did you get this look “inside” the cube?

[Edy]

Just follow the steps described above.

[Deeeds]

I’ve done that, and gotten it working in 2018.1.0f2

But I don’t have that lovely inward looking cube.

I had one wheel that did not draw the collider on an empty. Somewhere along the way I accidentally set one of the axis’s scale to 0.

Just incase anyone comes across this…
I had the same problem…

for me I didn’t have gizmos checked

Hi, I’m having this same issue. I add a game object, with a rigidbody and a wheel collider, and the wheel collider doesn’t show in the scene view.

Can you expand what you mean by not having the gizmos checked? Where is this setting found?

Ah I found it now, from the info at the below link. Toggling this on fixed this for me.

i spent like 3 hours looking up videos and helps on how to get it to appear just to later realize i didnt have the gizmos box checked…facepalm
you cant tell from the visibility if its checked or not…lmao

I was with the same problem, i resolved it by adding a rigidbody in the parent gameobject

Yes I did and worked, I dragged to wheel collider object and I deleted to cube.Thank you

Big thanks

[Szelestowski]

You can change the layout to another one should work and switch to the one you want to use. It helped me in Unity 2019.4

But I don’t have that lovely inward looking cube.

i tried to right click one wheel collider on the inspector and chose find reference in scene.
and i close the tab scene and reopen it. it works. dont know why

Add Rigidbody

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I have had this issue for days and it has driven me MAD. I cannot express in in words how much this helped me. Thanks
