Hello, In my beginnings with Unit and I’m making a game like Pong where two players opposite each other

hitting a ball , the players have rigidbody and the ball bounces off them … but I need the following effect :

That the ball passes through the player when it bounces from behind instead of bouncing off the player …

Any suggestions how i can do this ?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,

How about disabling the collider when the ball is behind the player, and is moving towards the player. Something like this:

If (ball.transform.position == behind the player && Vector3.Dot(ball.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity.normalized, player.transform.forward) > 0)
    ball.GetComponent<Collider>().enabled = false;
else
    ball.GetComponent<Collider>().enabled = true;
