# Collision Proxy

Simple, stable colliders. Prefer primitives and convex pieces over render mesh.

## When to Use

- Game physics / blocking volumes
- Unreal UCX export
- Unity mesh or primitive colliders
- Hitboxes for interactables

## Workflow

```
Identify collision needs → Build proxies → Name correctly
  → Test overlaps → Export with render mesh
```

## Collider Types

| Type | Use |
|------|-----|
| Box | Crates, walls, simple props |
| Capsule | Characters, poles |
| Sphere | Balls, soft approximates |
| Convex hull | Organic / irregular single body |
| Multiple convex (UCX) | Vehicles, complex props |

## Unreal Naming

```
UCX_SM_Asset_01
UCX_SM_Asset_02
```

- Must match associated mesh naming rules for auto-association
- Convex only for UCX

## Unity Notes

- Prefer engine primitives when possible
- Mesh colliders: convex toggle for dynamic rigidbodies
- Keep proxy collection exportable

## Authoring Rules

1. Slightly smaller than visual mesh to reduce snagging (project-dependent)
2. No holes; watertight convex pieces
3. Apply scale
4. Origin aligned with render mesh
5. Collection: `COL_Collision_[Asset]`

## Validation

- [ ] Player cannot fall through intended blockers
- [ ] No huge invisible walls beyond mesh
- [ ] Wheel/character capsules oriented correctly
- [ ] Named for target engine

## Constraints

### MUST DO
- Prefer few simple shapes over one complex mesh
- Match engine naming conventions
- Keep proxies in dedicated collection

### MUST NOT DO
- Use render LOD0 as physics mesh by default
- Non-convex UCX for Unreal auto-convex workflows
