2D Collision Between Sprites

Ok so i have two sprites, the one's supposed to be the player and has a character controller attached to it which is used by the movement script, and the other is just a box i want the player to collide with. I've used both 2D rigidbody and colliders but there is no collision. Any ideas?

Are you using 2d or 3d colliders? If you use 3d and the z axis are different, then maybe that could be the problem

As i said above i tried 2D rigidbody and colliders :)

Lots of things can prevent collisions, but the one that usually catches new people is the fact that collisions won't prevent position sets or translates. So, if you tell the Rigidbody2D to translate a set distance in a given direction, it doesn't matter if there's a collider in the way, it's going to do it.

@Pyrian , i am having the same problem and ive set the rigidbody2d to translate in forward direction. so how can we achieve the collision or how can we attach a trigger or a switch to this situation.

If you want the physics engine to be responsible for movement and collision, set the velocity or apply forces to the Rigidbody2. If you want to use Translate to move your object you're basically ignoring the physics system, so you'll need to create your own collision detection and response.
