Component:MeshCollider

Component image 

Mesh Collider component as seen in the Scene Inspector

A mesh collider allows for making a 1:1 collider of the given Mesh.

Too many polygons colliding with a single collider at once can cause immense frame rate drops. Make sure the geometry on a given mesh collider is not concentrated in a small spot or too dense to avoid this!

Fields

Fields

Name	Type	Description
persistent	Bool	Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server.
UpdateOrder	Int	Controls the order in which this component is updated.
Enabled	Bool	Controls whether or not this component is enabled. Some components stop their functionality when this field is disabled, but some don't.
Offset	Float3	The offset of the collider shape's position from the slot's position.
Type	ColliderType	The type of collider. See the enum page for details.
Mass	Float	How heavy this collider is in total. according to ProbablePrime this is in 1 KG per cubic meter.
CharacterCollider	Bool	Whether an avatar should be prevented from moving into the collider's volume.
IgnoreRaycasts	Bool	Whether an avatar's laser should be prevented from hitting the collider's volume. Also this applies to raycasting nodes or components.
Mesh	Mesh	The mesh to make a collision shape made of groups of polygons out of.
Sidedness	MeshColliderSidedness	Front or back sided collisions.
ActualSpeculativeMargin	raw output of Float	Essentially the room for error on the collisions for this collider.

Method Name	Method type and Arguments.	Is the method hidden?	Description
ConvexDecomposition:ButtonEventHandler	ButtonEventHandler	✓	Called when the create convex hull decomposition button is touched.
ReplaceWithBox:ButtonEventHandler	ButtonEventHandler	✓	Called when the replace with box collider button is touched.

Usage

General practice is to use mesh colliders very sparingly.

Examples

This can be used for more complex collisions like sprawling terrain or procedural meshes that have complex shapes.
