I’m pretty new to Unity and have been scouring this site and youtube videos to try to get as much information as I can. Each day I’m presented with a new problem and a solution. Today’s problem is: Terrain. No matter what I do my custom model falls through the Terrain when I try to play. I’ve deleted and redone terrain so many times, and now my character is falling through even planes. I’ve racked my brain trying to find a solution, and I know it will be so easy I’ll kick myself when I get it but for now, I need help.
Here are some images of my settings so you guys can see what I’m doin wrong and help me to rectify it
the question marks are because I have NO IDEA if those are supposed to be there as I saw a couple quick fixes to similar problems while searching for the answer and tried them out to no avail. As I’m on Unity 2018.1 Idk if the solutions for 2017 or even Unity 5 are supposed to help in my case. Please help so I can get back to trying to make my game thank you
The character falls through, because the Box Collider already intersects with the Terrain. No collision detection is happening, so your character falls through it. What happens if you move your character waay up and then press Play?
By the way: Don’t use a Box Collider for your character. Use a Mesh Collider instead and tick the “Convex” checkbox.
Finally, remove the Mesh Collider from your Terrain. You already have a Collider attached to it - no need to have two
So I removed Mesh Collider from Terrain, took out Box Collider as well as all of the 3rd person parts, added Mesh Collider to the character on Convex and moved her high up. Now she falls right through the terrain. I’m seriously confused as to what to do with Terrain
**~~~ I guess I should state that before at least she landed on Terrain and moved sporadically while being frozen in a crouch state. Now she’s in T state and falls right through Terrain where as before she had a few moments before she did
Putting a mesh collider on your character is pretty unconventional. Usually characters, the first place we usually start is a capsule collider. Anything more complex, like a rag doll, we use a series of primitive colliders to achieve the effect.
The only issue I see that may be causing your problem is that your box collider has almost no depth. The physics system doesn’t deal well with super small objects, especially if your collision detection mode is set to descrete.
Give your box collider more depth or better yet use a capsule collider. Box colliders with get stuck on small ledges.
In addition to what @chatrat12 said, the mesh of a character is not convex. Never click Convex on a mesh collider unless your mesh is actually convex. (And if you don’t know what that means, then just don’t check it.)
Me too. I couldn’t find any tutorial whose is doing something different than me and I’m using standard assets as well.
So using Unity 2018.3.9f1 I’m doing the following:
New Scene
Create Terrain GameObject in hierarchy inside new scene
Adding some texture and and making some actual terrain
Putting in a FPSController (tried third person as well)
Moving char way above the terrain
Run and see the char fall through
As it is all default here the terrain got a terrain collider with default settings and the character got a capsule collider with default settings. The character also by default have a rigbody. I’ve just not changed anything so far and in all tutorials it’s working^^
Can anyone of you reproduce it?
PS: I’ve recorded my steps to be most transparent and understandable as possible.
