Why do my player fall down in to the ground when I start the game?
Every time I start the game, the player falls just a little down and down in to the ground. Why is that? How can I prevent it?
Is it a imported model or is it a standard model from Unity?
Check to make sure the collider for your character is sized right (i.e. at or slightly bigger than your visible character).
@robertbu Yeah, that was the problem. See comment on @oliver-jones answer. :)

There are a few possible reasons:
1) Your character/player does not have a collider on it.
2) Your ground does not have a collider.
If your ground is a map you made yourself, then you will need to turn on Colliders within the model settings (Click on your model within the project, and in the inspector, apply collisions.
Also, make sure all the colliders are no a trigger (if you click on a collider object, within the inspector, make sure Is Trigger is OFF)
See if that works.
Ahh! Yeah, the graphics was bigger than the collider on the player. I made the collider align with the graphics and all good. :) Thanks.
Hi I have colliders set but I need "Is trigger" because i would like to use detection of collisions.
private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision) { if (gameObject.CompareTag("Obstacle")) { gameOver = true;
