Hi, If i understand, you want the collider name; Try this:

 private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
 {
     var collider = collision.GetContact(0).collider;
     var otherCollider = collision.GetContact(0).otherCollider;
 }

Tell me if you have any problems.

thanks, the code works, but the collision is detected in both Colliders even if the other object touches only one...

Do you want something like this: when an object collide with the box collider then he must execute an action and when it collide with the circle it must execute another action ?

For this you can do something like this :

     private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
     {
         var collisionWith = collision.GetContact(0).otherCollider;
         
         if(collisionWith.name == "box")
         {
             //do box behaviour
         }
         else if (collisionWith.name == "circle")
         {
             //do circle behaviour
         }
     }

Keep in mind that in "collisionWith.name" is stored the name of the gameobject that contain one of your collider. This is the case where you have two gameobjects as child of your parent, each of them have an collider.

But if you have one parent with two colliders. And you want to detect which collider was hit, then do this:

     private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
     {
         var collisionWith = collision.GetContact(0).otherCollider;
 
         if(collisionWith.GetType() == typeof(BoxCollider2D))
         {
             Debug.Log("Box Collider");
         }
         else if (collisionWith.GetType() == typeof(CircleCollider2D))
         {
             Debug.Log("Circle Collider");
         }
     }

You mean OnCollisionEnter(), right?
