    Hi everybody,

    I would like to know if it is possible to create holes in a collider at runtime. Something like boolean operation between two colliders. Thanks.

    Maybe this way: when you are in proper position disable collider or make it triggered.

    Thanks for your reply, but I was wondering if there is some ways to physically modify the collider, not fake the effect...

    Thanks!

    There are no boolean operations for colliders. You could update a mesh collider, but it's pretty slow and you wouldn't want to do it very often. And you'd still have to figure out exactly what changes you wanted to make to the collider.

    It'd be better to have 2 different colliders prepared and simple enable and disable them accordingly.
