The colliders offered in Course Forge for trees appear to be:

- wood

- wood

- leaves

 

I can't seem to add a reasonable collider to a non-speedtree tree.  Either I get a solid wooden shape (mimicking the Unity collider shape selection) or if I use the leaves, its almost like not hitting the tree at all.

 

I would like to add a collider that reduces ball flight speed or deflects slightly.  This seems like it should be an easy task, but the ease of it is escaping me???

As far as I know your best bet is to approximate the shape of the tree using capsule colliders set to wood for the trunk/s and sphere colliders set to none for the leaves. 

 

For consistency I always use the last wood physics material from the PP/CourseForge/Content... folder but I believe any of the wood physics materials will work.  

 

Do not use leaves for anything.  You will get strange results.  

 

Yes this is counterintuitive but PP programmed it this way and it works if you follow these settings.

Hmmm, I tried everything but "none." 

I will give that a try, thanks.

I thought I read here somewhere that all cylinders are interpreted as solid, and all spheres are more like leaves?  It seems like trees ignore those settings.

OK... I changed my spheres to "none" and it does appear to work more like I wanted.  Unfortunately, before asking the question I made all my spheres small.  Small spheres assigned "wood" acted more like a ball making a glancing blow as opposed to a brick wall effect.  Sooooo, I need to go back and make bigger spheres so that contact with the sphere is more likely.

 

Its all good though because now I know how to make it work as I hoped.

 

Thanks
