Create and debug a scene that uses 2D physics with 2D Physics Core components.
Note
This documentation is about using Pose, Area, and Constraint components. To use 2D physics in the Unity Editor using components like the Rigidbody 2D component, refer to 2D physics instead.
Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Physics Pose and Physics Area components | Understand the Physics Pose and Physics Area components you use to build 2D physics objects. |
| Add physics to a GameObject with 2D Physics Core | To add physics to a GameObject, add a Physics Pose component to make the GameObject part of the 2D physics simulation, and one or more Physics Area components, which give it a shape. |
| Add physics to a sprite with 2D Physics Core | To add physics to a sprite GameObject and match the shape of the sprite for collisions, add a Physics Area Sprite component. |
