Capsule Collider 2D component reference

The Capsule Collider 2D component is a Collider 2D that interacts with the 2D physics system. The capsule shape of the collider, with its smooth, round circumference and absence of vertex corners, allows for smoother movement along other colliders, preventing snagging on sharp corners.

Note: The capsule shape of the collider is solid and not hollow. Unity regards any other Collider 2Ds that are inside the Capsule Collider 2D to be in constant contact with the collider and gradually forced out of the Capsule Collider 2D over time.

属性 功能
Material Select the Physics Material 2D that determines properties of collisions, such as friction and bounce.
Is Trigger Enable this if you want this Collider 2D to behave as a trigger. The physics system ignores this Collider when this is enabled.
Used by Effector Enable this if you want the Collider 2D to be used by an attached Effector 2D.
Composite Operations Select the composite operation used by an attached Composite Collider 2D component.

Note: When you select any operation besides None, the following properties—Material, Is Trigger, Used By Effector, and Edge Radius—become controlled by the attached Composite Collider 2D component and are no longer available in this collider’s properties.
Select this to have no composite operation take place.
Merge Select this to have this composite operation compose geometry using a Boolean OR operation.
Intersect Select this to have this composite operation compose geometry using a Boolean AND operation.
Difference Select this to have this composite operation compose geometry using a Boolean NOT operation.
Flip Select this to have this composite operation compose geometry using a Boolean XOR operation.
Offset Set the local offset values of the Collider 2D geometry.
Size Set the x and y values to define the size of the box region that the Capsule Collider 2D fills. Refer to Defining Size and Direction for more details.
Direction Select the orientation of the Capsule Collider 2D. This determines the position and orientation of the curved ends of the Collider shape. Refer to Defining Size and Direction for more details.
Vertical Select this to orient the ends of the Collider shape upwards and downwards.
Horizontal Select this to orient the ends of the Collider shape left and right.
Layer Overrides Expand for the Layer override settings.
Layer Override Priority Assign the decision priority that this Collider2D uses when resolving conflicting decisions on whether a contact between itself and another Collision2D should happen or not. Refer to its API page for more information.
Include Layers Select the additional Layers that this Collider 2D should include when deciding if a contact with another Collider2D should happen or not. Refer to its API documentation for more information.
Exclude Layers Select the additional Layers that this Collider 2D should exclude when deciding if a contact with another Collider2D should happen or not. Refer to its API documentation for more information.
Force Send Layers Select the Layers that this Collider 2D is allowed to send forces to during a Collision contact with another Collider2D. Refer to its API documentation for more information.
Force Receive Layers Select the Layers that this Collider 2D can receive forces from during a Collision contact with another Collider2D. Refer to its API documentation for more information.
Contract Capture Layers Select the Layers of other Collider 2D, involved in contacts with this Collider2D, that will be captured. Refer to its API documentation for more information.
Callback Layers Select the Layers that this Collider 2D, during a contact with another Collider2D, will report collision or trigger callbacks for. Refer to its API documentation for more information.

Defining size and direction

The settings that define the shape of the Capsule Collider 2D are Size and Direction. Both the Size and Direction properties refer to X and Y (horizontal and vertical, respectively) in the local space of the Capsule Collider 2D, and not in world space.

A typical way to set up the Capsule Collider 2D is to set the Size to match the Direction. For example, if the Capsule Collider 2D’s Direction is Vertical, the Size of X is 0.5 and the Size of Y is 1, this makes the vertical direction capsule taller, rather than wider.

In the example below, the X and Y are represented by the yellow lines.

Capsule configuration examples

可使用不同的配置来更改 2D 胶囊碰撞体。以下是一些示例。

Note that when the X and Y of the Size property are the same, the Capsule Collider 2D always approximates to a circle.

Note: A known issue in the 2D physics system is that when a GameObject moves across multiple Colliders, one or several of the Colliders may register a collision between the Colliders. This may occur even when the Colliders are perfectly aligned. This collision can cause the Collider to slow down or stop.

While constructing a surface with the Capsule Collider 2D can help reduce this problem, it is recommeneded to use a single Collider rather than multiple Colliders for a surface, such as the Edge Collider 2D.
