Setting Contact Offset Via Script Does Nothing

Basically Setting Contact Offset In A Script Has Absolutely Zero Effect
I Set It For A Collider And Nothing Happens
However I Feel Like It’s Something I’m Doing Wrong
Any Advice Or Fixes?

using UnityEngine;

public class ColliderOffsetScale : MonoBehaviour
{
private Collider thisCollider;

void Start()
{
thisCollider = GetComponent<Collider>();
}

void Update()
{
thisCollider.contactOffset = Physics.defaultContactOffset * transform.localScale.x;
}
}```

what is the use case here? i’m confused why you would do this as colliders scale with parent transforms. but anyway, it’s definitely being set. rule of thumb is if you’re not sure, debug it ~ its way faster to write one line of code than guess over and over.

are you sure you want to use Collider and not CapsuleCollider or MeshCollider etc? collider is a base class and shouldn’t really be used as a replacement for those if they’re what’s attached
