The Capsule ColliderAn invisible shape that is used to handle physical collisions for an object. A collider doesn’t need to be exactly the same shape as the object’s mesh - a rough approximation is often more efficient and indistinguishable in gameplay. More info
See in Glossary 2D component is a Collider 2D that interacts with the 2D physics system. The capsule shape of the collider, with its smooth, round circumference and absence of vertex corners, allows for smoother movement along other colliders, preventing snagging on sharp corners.
Note: The capsule shape of the collider is solid and not hollow. Unity regards any other colliders that are inside the collider to be in constant contact with it. The colliders inside are gradually forced out of the collisionA collision occurs when the physics engine detects that the colliders of two GameObjects make contact or overlap, when at least one has a Rigidbody component and is in motion.

| Property | Function |
|---|---|
| Material | Select the Physics Material 2DUse this to adjust the friction and bounce that occurs between 2D physics objects when they collide More info See in Glossary that determines properties of collisions, such as friction and bounce. |
| Is Trigger | Enable this if you want the collider to behave as a trigger. The physics system ignores the collider when you enable this option. |
| Used By Effector | Enable this if you want an attached Effector 2D component to use the collider. |
| Composite Operation | If a Composite Collider 2D component is attached to the same GameObject, sets how the component combines the collision shapes. The options are:
|
| Offset | Set the local offset values of the collider geometry. |
| Size | Set the x and y values to define the size of the box region that the collider fills. |
| Direction | Select the orientation of the collider. This determines the position and orientation of the curved ends of the collider shape. Refer to Configure Capsule Collider 2D for more details. |
| Vertical | Select this to orient the ends of the collider shape upwards and downwards. |
| Horizontal | Select this to orient the ends of the collider shape left and right. |
| Layer Overrides | Expand for the layer override settings. |
| Layer Override Priority | Sets the decision priority when this collision shape collides with another collision shape. Refer to its API documentation for more information. |
| Include Layers | Sets the layers this collision shape collides with. Refer to Collider2D-includeLayers. |
| Exclude Layers | Sets the layers this collision shape doesn’t collide with. Refer to Collider2D-excludeLayers. |
| Force Send Layers | Sets the layers this collision shape sends forces to during collisions. Refer to Collider2D-forceSendLayers. |
| Force Receive Layers | Sets the layers this collision shape can receive forces from during collisions. Refer to Collider2D-forceReceiveLayers. |
| Contact Capture Layers | Sets the layers of other Collider 2D components to capture during collisions. Refer to Collider2D-contactCaptureLayers. |
| Callback Layers | Sets the layers to report collisions or triggers with. Refer to Collider2D-callbackLayers. |
