Object colliding with nothing.

[Tibor_coder]

I am making a stickman parkour/plat former type game. I want my player to be able to throw objects. However, when I throw the object it sometimes gets stuck in mid air. It behaves like there is a collider below it, however there is none. I set the RigidBody2D colliion detection to continous. No other object is under it. Here is a picture:

Here are the settings on the box/crate in the photo:

Any ideas?

Do you have your elements separated by layer correctly? That would be my first guess.

[Tibor_coder]

Yes they are. Why is that a problem?

What is the code you are using for throwing the box?

[Tibor_coder]

Here is the code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class HoldObjectScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Arm that will hold object
    public Rigidbody2D arm;

    // Player root object
    public GameObject root;

    // Point where to connect the object
    public Transform connectPoint;

    // Joint used to connect objects
    private HingeJoint2D currentJoint;

    // Settings
    public float throwStrength;

    public void TryHoldObject(GameObject obj)
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.H))
        {
            // We get the joint that will be used to connect the object
            HingeJoint2D joint = obj.GetComponent<HingeJoint2D>();

            // We connect the object to arm
            joint.connectedBody = arm;

            joint.connectedAnchor = connectPoint.localPosition;

            // We disable all collisions between object and player
            DisableCollisions(obj.GetComponent<Collider2D>());

            // Enable the joint
            joint.enabled = true;
           
            // Remember the joint
            currentJoint = joint;
        }
    }

    public void StopHolding()
    {
        EnableCollisions();
        currentJoint.enabled = false;
    }

    void DisableCollisions(Collider2D collider)
    {
        Collider2D[] colliders = root.GetComponentsInChildren<Collider2D>();

        for (int i = 0; i < colliders.Length; i++)
        {
            Physics2D.IgnoreCollision(colliders[i], collider);
        }
    }

    void EnableCollisions()
    {
        Collider2D[] colliders = root.GetComponentsInChildren<Collider2D>();
        Collider2D collider = currentJoint.GetComponentInParent<Collider2D>();

        for (int i = 0; i < colliders.Length; i++)
        {
            Physics2D.IgnoreCollision(colliders[i], collider, false);
        }
    }

    public void ThrowObject(Vector2 direction)
    {
        Rigidbody2D objectRb = currentJoint.GetComponentInParent<Rigidbody2D>();

        StopHolding();

        objectRb.velocity = direction * throwStrength;
    }
}

I basically receive a direction and apply a force to it.
