Description

Collider for 2D physics representing an arbitrary set of connected edges (lines) defined by its vertices.

Properties

adjacentEndPointDefines the position of a virtual point adjacent to the end point of the EdgeCollider2D.
adjacentStartPointDefines the position of a virtual point adjacent to the start point of the EdgeCollider2D.
edgeCountGets the number of edges.
edgeRadiusControls the radius of all edges created by the collider.
pointCountGets the number of points.
pointsGet or set the points defining multiple continuous edges.
useAdjacentEndPointSet this to true to use the adjacentEndPoint to form the collision normal that is used to calculate the collision response when a collision occurs at the Edge Collider's end point. Set this to false to not use the adjacentEndPoint, and the collision normal becomes the direction of motion of the collision.
useAdjacentStartPointSet this to true to use the adjacentStartPoint to form the collision normal that is used to calculate the collision response when a collision occurs at the Edge Collider's start point. Set this to false to not use the adjacentStartPoint, and the collision normal becomes the direction of motion of the collision.

Public Methods

GetPointsGets all the points that define a set of continuous edges.
ResetReset to a single edge consisting of two points.
SetPointsSets all the points that define a set of continuous edges.

Public Methods

CastCasts the Collider shape into the Scene starting at the Collider position ignoring the Collider itself.

Static Methods

DestroyRemoves a GameObject, component or asset.

Operators

boolDoes the object exist?
operator !=Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
operator ==Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object.
