Question by The-W.A.T.Z.R · May 14, 2014 at 02:01 AM · collidercharactercontrollerchangemeshcolliderreplace

Change Character Controller Collider - to another Collider? (*CCCC+Quest*)

character controller is a capsule collider ... how can i change that to box or cylinder or rigidbody or MESH Cillider or whatever Collider i want ?


I would like to use the Mesh Collider, so I can use the same body shape as my character has in my character Controller instead of t$$anonymous$$s Capsule Cillider.


  • how can you fix it in a simple way?

    how to replace the Capsule CO to Mech CO from my ExP character model


    thanks in advance for your help :)

You simply can't. The CharacterController doesn't use physics itself. The CharacterController is a CapsuleCollider so other physics objects can collider with the CC. The CharacterController itself has it's own collision detection and can't be changed.

If you want to use other shapes you have to use a Rigidbody with an appropriate collider.
