Change game object to rigidbody using code
I am making a game that if a condition is true the game object will change to a ridgid body so that it can bounce off a rectangle in its path. If the condition is false it will pass through it. Can anyone help me with the code. Thank you in advance for your help.

Put a rigidbody component onto the game object in question. Then in the script that's attached to the game object put something along the lines of,
private Rigidbody _rigidbody;
void Start()
{
_rigidbody = this.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
public void SetRigidbodyState(bool flag)
{
_rigidbody.enabled = flag;
}
Then call your SetRigidbodyState() whenever you need to bounce off or ignore it. I haven't tested the code but it'll be pretty much what you're after. Hope that helps

Thank you, I have not tested it but I did create the code. when I typed it in .enabled turned red. Not sure if that means there is a problem
