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.

Triggers

Method Name	Method type and Arguments.	Description
SetFromLocalBounds()	Action	Gathers all objects and slots under this component's slot, creates a Bounding box that encapsulates all the points and Bounding boxes, and uses the Bounding box to set this component's values. Does all calculations in local space.
SetFromGlobalBounds()	Action	Gathers all objects and slots under this component's slot, creates a Bounding box that encapsulates all the points and Bounding boxes, and uses the Bounding box to set this component's values. Does all calculations in global space.
SetFromLocalBoundsPrecise()	Action	Gathers all objects and slots under this component's slot, creates a Bounding box that encapsulates all the points and Bounding boxes, and uses the Bounding box to set this component's values. Does all calculations in local space. Ignores floating point error.
SetFromGlobalBoundsPrecise()	Action	Gathers all objects and slots under this component's slot, creates a Bounding box that encapsulates all the points and Bounding boxes, and uses the Bounding box to set this component's values. Does all calculations in global space. Ignores floating point error.

Usage

This is useful for floors and walls, and can also be set to NoCollide and used as a way to mark an area for a custom culling system.
