Ignoring collisions between spawned CharacterControllers

Hello,

I have several CharacterController NPCs running around my level, which should not collide with each other. I have tried setting the detectCollisions flag to false, however this does not change anything.

Is there another way to achieve this?

Many thanks

 

If they are never supposed to collide you should should take a look at Layer Based Collision Detection.

So you would make a new layer called something like Characters, set all characters or the prefabs to use that layer, and then in the physics settings uncheck the box on the grid Characters x Characters so any object on the Characters layer does not collide with another.

 

Thanks BDev, this will probably work, I will try it later on, however, what if I want to enable collisions at some point? I cannot find this setting exposed in the script.

 

You could change the layer in script. GameObject.layer
