Changing the size of a box collider at runtime:

I have a gameobject>prefab and it has a box collider attached to it. On runtime I want to make the box colliders "Y" size bigger.

How is this possible??

You can use the collider.size property:

Code (csharp):

1. BoxCollider collider;
2.  
3. const float ySize = 100.0f;
4.            
5. collider.size = new Vector3(collider.size.x, ySize, collider.size.z);

 

Yes..that did it grizzy...I thought I would need to do something like "gameobject.collider.size ="

 

It broke the gameobject though. once a restart button is touched to clear the list the object doesn't get destroyed...

This is how I have it set up-

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. /
3. /
4. /
5. void playersDDcard()
6.     {
7.         GameObject DDoneCard = playersDD3card();
8.         // check card is null or not      
9.         if (DDoneCard == null)
10.         {
11.             Debug.Log("Out of Cards");
12.             return;
13.         }
14.         DDoneCard.transform.position = new Vector3(xPosDD, yPosDD, zPosDD);
15.         DDoneCard.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 90, 0);
16.         collider.size = new Vector3(collider.size.x, ybcDDcard, collider.size.z);
17.         hand.Add(DDoneCard);
18.         cardsDealt++;
19.     }
20. /
21. /
22. /
23.  

 

Clearing a list of GameObjects isn't the same as deleting the GameObjects.

Are you actually calling Destroy?

 

Yes Dan.

It worked fine before I adjusted the collider .y size.

 

un-related.. theres no way a collider size adjustment would cause what youre talking about. It will be something else.

 

I commented out the collider code from the above code and when I click to restart the hand that gameobject disappears with everything else like it did before. If I leave that code it doesn't work.

 

I think you need to use GetComponent from the gameObject to get the instance of the box collider and then change the size.

Code (csharp):

1.  collider = DDoneCard.transform.gameObject.GetComponent<BoxCollider>();

Make sure you create the variable in the loop. It might not destroy it because you have a reference to it.

 

I tried that but not that exact way. I will give it a go this evening.

Thanks.

 

That did it.

Thanks.
