Setting Rigidbody.useGravity from script has no effect

Unity Engine

It’s as if I never changed it even though I did, the behaviour and inspector checkbox stay at whatever they were set to from the editor. It’s not that the script isn’t working though, outputting the value of useGravity on my Rigidbody to the console shows that it has supposedly changed, but the player does not reflect that. This affects other properties like isKinematic aswell.

What is going on? I couldn’t find anyone else struggling this. No idea how to debug this since debugging shows everything is working as expected. I read the Rigidbody API page, it doesn’t say anything about useGravity being readonly and there is no setter method either.

I don’t have Unity to test anything with at the moment, but is the rigidbody asleep? You may need to send it a WakeUp()

Please don’t cross-post for the same problem.

Thanks.

@MelvMay Sorry, I’m just used to never getting any answers in some subforums. You can delete this thread.

@AlTheSlacker Thanks for your help! I tried that already though, it’s not asleep. At this point I think one of the assets I’m using must be silently overwriting the properties on my rigidbody.
