Building very basic beginning of game. All was going well, then i added 4 cubes in the shape of a square. When I go to gameplay, the whole plane floats above the player. I’m pretty certain I need a collider but I don’t know which one to pick for the game object.

Don’t primitives in Unity already come with colluders? I tested the same plane with a where and where was no problem. Both the box and the player are above the plane.

Thanks in advance.

If you placed the character into the ground or too close to the ground he might fall through. Make sure the character has a collider. Check to make sure the ground has a collider, if it doesn’t add one.

Thanks – that did the trick.
