Turning off collider in script C#

So pretty much the idea is that I do not want the collider on my given object active unless I actually need it to be. In this instance I want it off normally but to turn on when I activate my raycast to instantiate an object onto the surface. Now I haven't tried this sort of thing before and while I found a few things they don't seem to want to play nice. Not sure where the issue is and I was wondering if anyone might be able to steer me in the right direction.

Code (csharp):

1. public class Raycast : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.  
4.     public Transform Cheese;
5.     public Transform Sphere;
6.     public Transform Box;
7.     public Transform Capsule;
8.     public Transform Floor;
9.  
10.     void OnGUI()
11.     {
12.         if(GUI.Button(new Rect(10,10,150,100), "I make Cheese"))
13.         {
14.             Cheese = Box;
15.         }
16.         if(GUI.Button(new Rect(10,100,150,100), "I make sphere's"))
17.         {
18.             Cheese = Sphere;
19.         }
20.         if( GUI.Button(new Rect(10,200, 150,100), "I make Capsules'"))
21.         {
22.             Cheese = Capsule;
23.         }
24.        
25.     }
26.  
27.     void Update ()
28.     {
29.  
30.         Ray ray;
31.         RaycastHit hit;
32.         ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
33.         Debug.DrawRay(ray.origin, ray.direction * 100, Color.cyan);
34.         if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
35.         {
36.  
37.             Floor.gameObject.collider.enabled = true;
38.            
39.                 if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, 100.0f))
40.                 {
41.  
42.                 if (hit.collider.tag=="Floor")
43.                     Instantiate(Cheese, hit.point, Quaternion.identity);
44.                     Floor.gameObject.collider.enabled = false;
45.                 }
46.         }
47.  
48.     }
49. }

 

Hello!

I believe that even if you are turning on and off the collider, the physics may not actually be updated until the next FixedUpdate() cycle.

I would suggest putting such GameObjects with colliders on their own layer. You can use PhysicsSettings to make everything else in the game ignore those colliders and make your Raycasts *only* hit such colliders.

 

Thanks, i'll have to take a look into that.
