Unitys Animationsystem and Colliders / Rigidbodies

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

Hello,

Does Unitys Animationsystem(in the Editor) use Rigidbody.MovePosition( ) to move GameObjects with a Rigidbody and Collider Component attached ?

Or is the Animationsystem only made to move GameObjects without Collider ?

The Animation View system (if that's what you mean) is Keyframe / Event driven so collision and Physics don't really come into play. Of course (for example) you could animate a game object with hinges attached and those hinges would react as expected if its path intersected or collided with other physics objects.
