get vertices of any collider2D

Hi.
I've been trying to get the vertices of any Collider2D collider to use for a mesh generator (fill in gaps essentially).
I found that PolygonCollider2D has a public points array, but no other 2D collider or composite collider.
Am I missing something here or is there some other way to work it out?
Thanks!

 

Well box collider points can be found using bounds, circle collider you can use math to create points around that circle's perimeter using center and radius. A capsule is just two half-circles and a box connecting them, so same as previous. Composite colliders are only made up of Polygon colliders or Box colliders.

So while there's no easy way to just get the points, it shouldn't be that hard to look up how to calculate the points based on the inputs on those components.

 

Thanks for your reply!
I was hoping to not have to check for every colliders type around the object and run different logic for each but its looking like I'll have to.
I could replace all colliders with polygon colliders which would somewhat get around the issue but composite colliders (even set to polygon) still dont have a points array; but I'll make do
Thanks again!

 

This is a 5 year old thread at this point but it was one of the first items that came up in a google search.

I wanted to share a possible solution that should work for any Collider2D. I don't know if this was an option back in 2017.

the Collider2D object has a CreateMesh() method which....creates a mesh from the collider. Now op said they were trying to create a mesh in the first place in which case, problem solved. But if you are looking for the points in the mesh then mesh has a vertices field which is what you're looking for.

Hope this helps someone.
