Just a quick question, do you think its better for optimization to have box collider of character on a game object child of the game object, or is it better to have it on root ? ( i'm using navmesh for the click and character controler for the WASQ) and like collider to interact with object

Thanks for help !

there is an extremely small cost to having an extra child object involved

#

i would not think much about it

So for you its still a bit better to do it on root, even if its not insane perf gain on it?

If it's a physical collider you'd usually have it root with the controller

Children for composite colliders or triggers
