New to Unity, trouble with physics it seems!

Questions & Answers
1

I have just moved over to unity from UDK and am playing around with it trying to create just a simple game for now.

Now that I’ve placed all my assets into the scene, when I go on the game view everything just drops and keeps on falling . Can anyone please help with the problem, I have tried looking through different settings but I don’t understand lol.

Thanks!

Your objects are falling because you’ve attached a Rigidbody component and gravity is turned on by default in a Rigidbody component. You can:

  • Turn gravity off in the Rigidbody component of each object
  • Turn on the Rigidbody.isKinematic flag in the Rigidbody of each object
  • Disable or turn off the Rigidbody component for each object
  • Create a plane below your object for them to rest on (the object must start completely above the plane for this to work).

Raise your player position in the y axis by about one meter.

Sounds like you don’t have a collider on your terrain, objects, or both. Go through your terrain and objects and see if they have a collider assigned to them in the inspector. If they don’t, scroll down to add component in the inspector → physics → then a collider of your choice. Have fun, mate!
