How to extend rigidbody bounds

Hi,

I am trying to increase the bounds of a rigidbody collider, but nothing seems to work. I've tried the following in Start() :

Code (csharp):

1.     for (int i=0;i<10;i++)
2.     {
3.                 GameObject go = m_gameObjects[i];
4.     MeshRenderer mr = go.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>();
5.     Mesh mesh = mr.GetComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh;
6.     mesh.bounds.Expand (new Vector3(1f, 1f, 1f));
7.     go.rigidbody.collider.bounds.SetMinMax(new Vector3(-1f,-1f,-1f), new Vector3(1f,1f,1f));
8.     go.rigidbody.collider.bounds.Expand(new Vector3(1f, 1f, 1f));
9.     }

- but when I run the game the rigid bodies still collide as if they are still tightly wrapped to the visible mesh.
This looks like it should be a no-brainer, so what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

 

Have you tried updating the Size property?

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/BoxCollider-size.html

 

That's fixed it.
Now looking at the docs, I can see Expand() and SetMinMax() are not inherited methods in BoxCollider, which would explain why using them on the parent rigidbody.collider object would not work. Anyway, that's solved a big problem for me. Thanks!

 

Very helpful,I waste a lot of time on this!
collider.bounds.Expand(....)
