Question by Igor_Vasiak · Oct 13, 2017 at 03:46 PM · scripting problemcollider2dresizeboxcollider2dgenerics

Collider2D Resize Based on Sprite Using Generics

Generics are great, but sometimes they're puzzles to code. This is one of those cases, when the answer might be obvious, but I can't find it. So... That's my problem:

The Problem

I need to resize LOTS of BoxCollider2Ds, CircleCollider2Ds, etc... During runtime, but it would take time to write it on all of them, so I've decided: I'll make an Extension via Generics!

Oh well, the world was all in colors, 'till I tested it. The Colliders2D were not being resized!

But why? Because I am using a Generic where T: Collider2D? Because I can't access the size component without a temp? Because I can't set Collider2D.bounds?


The Script

 public static void RescaleToSprite<T> (this T collider) where T: Collider2D
 {
     if (collider is BoxCollider2D)
     {
         Debug.Log("Workin'");
         Vector2 newSize = collider.gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite.bounds.size;
         var tmp = collider.bounds;
         tmp.size = newSize;
     }
                     
 }


Well... If someone knows what am I doing wrong, please tell me.

Thanks in advance.

I deleted my answer, cuz it was based on reading your code wrong.

 var tmp = collider.bounds;
 tmp.size = newSize;

 //you want to adjust the BoxCollider2D  size.  Not it's bound's member's size.
 BoxCollider2D tmp = collider;
 tmp.size = newSize;

You have to define the collider's type to access its properties:

 public static void RescaleToSprite<T> (this T collider) where T: Collider2D
  {
      if (collider is BoxCollider2D)
      {
          Vector2 newSize = collider.gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite.bounds.size;
          (collider as  BoxCollider2D).size = newSize;
      }              
  }
