Thanks , I have evaluated the user experience already and there is a reason why I am trying to do this as it is part of something else I’m trying to do.
I have tried to use collision spheres but they wont work unless they are also simulating physics .
hense why I tried to create a physics animation blend Hoping that the skeletal physics assets physical bodies will collide with the walls .
