    collision layers do the job but theres only few of them (32 max)



    i can ignore objs one by one but thats just crazy, as i would have to ignore thousands and more, per every npc or obj

    it seems theres no way

    We're going to need more info. What kind of objects are you trying to prevent from colliding with what kind of NPCs and how is 32 layers not enough to accomplish it?

    what about multi scene physics? cant this theoretically create infinite collision layers? (using scenes as collision layers, 1 scene = 1 layer)

    You're answering a question with a question. You have not adequately described what the problem is in the first place so continuing to ask different questions isn't helping. It's clear in your mind but it's not clear from what you asked.

    Yes, the limit is 32 layers or obj/obj and nothing else. In theory you can use multiple scenes but that's not what it's meant for, they are completely isolated so isn't a workaround for creating 32 * N layers realistically if that's all you're asking.

    You have to consider all the games created with Unity and whether what you're trying to do is actually a good idea if it looks like it cannot be done.
