Unable to access material property of PhysicsMaterial2D dynamically in unity2D
So I have a script that dynamically creates colliders for the edges of the screen. Now I want to make them bouncy.
I try to do this:
gameObject.GetComponent<Collider2D>().material.bounciness = 1;
but it says UnityEngine has no definition for material.
If I replace the Collider2D with just Collider, the material property is accessible. But since my game is 2D, I need it to work with Collider2D.
How do I do it? If it's not possible, what are the workarounds?
Collider2D has no property called "material", but it has a property called "bounciness" (and also a property "sharedMaterial" that is a reference to a PhysicsMaterial2D which also has the property "bounciness"). May be that the bounciness property of Collider2D is a shortcut for sharedMaterial.bounciness, I never tried to use this so I'm not 100% sure.
I tried that one but for some reason the character did not bounce after setting bounciness or shared$$anonymous$$aterial.bounciness to 1
