Rigidbody.detectCollisions

Switch to Manual
public var detectCollisions: bool;

Description

Should collision detection be enabled? (By default always enabled).

Disabling collision detections is useful when you have a ragdoll which is setup to be kinematic and you want to avoid heavy collision detection calculations on that rigidbody. /detectCollisions/ is not serialized. This means it doesn't show up in the Inspector and when Instantiating the rigidbody or saving it in a scene, it will not be saved.

	// Let animation control the rigidbody and ignore collisions
	rigidbody.isKinematic = true;
	rigidbody.detectCollisions = false;
	// Let the rigidbody take over control, detect collisions 
	rigidbody.isKinematic = false;
	rigidbody.detectCollisions = true;
