Collisions Between 2 Character Controllers?

I am developing a ship war game, there are NPC and Main Character, they’re all ships.
So I would like to attach Character Controller to all of them.
Now about the collisions, we designed as the following list:

  • Main Character: Character Controller
  • Enemy Ships: Character Controller, Sphere Collider(Big sphere Trigger)
  • Projectile: Sphere Collider + Rigidbody(isKinematic=false gravity = true)
  • Sea Map: Mesh collider. For sea shore / islands and map edges.
  • Assets: Box collider + Rigidbody(isKinematic=true). The main character will collect them.

I hope the ships can bounce each other, and collide with the map edges.
What’s the best solution? Seems that I can try this:
- Main Character: Character Controller + function OnControllerColliderHit()
- Enemy Ships: Attached Rigidbody

However, the enemy ships doesn’t work well whether isKinematic is true or false. The enemy ships have to detect collisions and triggers in too many situations.
blabalabla…

Well, I think what I exactly need is “How To Detect Collisions Between Two Character Controllers?” （One of them has already use Trigger for other purpose）

Or is there any better solutions?

You can detect what a character controller runs into using an OnControllerColliderHit function on its script. However, if you want the ships to have realistic physical collisions (bouncing off each other, etc) then you should make them all rigidbody objects. The rigidbody components should have the isKinematic option switched off and be moved by forces in the usual way.
