Mesh Collision question

Hello I just read that a convex mesh collider cant have more then 255 triangles

“Convex Mesh Colliders must be fewer than 255 triangles.”

But what if I need more?

I have 2 space ships using mesh collider. They should collide each other so I need a convex mesh collision for both.
Cause you can go inside the ships a box collider wouldnt fit my needs.

What should I do? Splitting the ship in many childs so that I can have more then one mesh collider?

Thanks

I’m not sure what the needs are of your game but here’s my quick 2 cents. Sounds like it’s some type of space carrier and fighters can fly into it. I would define the fighters as a seperate layer and make their collision layer ignore the ships’s layer. That way they can fly ‘through’ the ships collider.

Link below to implement this. If this helps please accept the answer.

Collision Layer Control

Yeah it helps a bit.. Thanks Still the question left how to collide 2 big ships with each others...

Thank you very much for this complex answer. But isnt "Generate Colliders" just for static objects, that doesnt move?

Thanks again. You gave me some very usefull imformations. I will try this when Iam at home. Is it possible to show how the collider looks like? (when its generated by unity)
