Is there a way to find out what type of collider an object has?

Question

Is there a way to find out what type of collider (box, sphere, mesh) an object has?

I know I can check for each type individually, but I need to dynamically change collider parameters on several different types, so it would be nice to do it in a more generic manner

thanks

You can simply ask:

C#

if(collider.GetType() == typeof(MeshCollider)) print("mesh");

And JS

if(collider.GetType() == MeshCollider) print("mesh");

Hope that helps

you are missing the point- I already know I can do this by checking against each type as you showed

I would like to be able to have the collider type returned so I don't have to check it against each one individually.

If you look at the code provided GetType() returns the object type.

I only get "Collider2D" but not the specific type of collider (EdgeCollider or CircleCollider)

You can do .name if you are looking for it's name.
