If disable/enable collider the animator doesn't work anymore

Question

I have a character with BoxCollider2D and Animator components. I need to change a physic material's friction dynamically so I use the next function:

private void ChangeFriction(float friction)
{
    boxCollider.sharedMaterial.friction = friction;
    boxCollider.enabled = false; // The friction won't be changed if I won't reset the collider
    boxCollider.enabled = true;
}

The problem is that after an execution of this function the walking animation isn't played anymore totally. If I comment two last lines then all works perfectly but the friction doesn't change, just like To be or not to be .

How can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

I have been using this piece of code to access friction and change it and it works without enabling and disabling the collider. I can see it changes in Editor as well.

private Collider2D col;
void Start () {
    col = gameObject.GetComponent<Collider2D>();

}

void Update () {
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0))
    {
        col.sharedMaterial.friction = 1;

    }

    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse1))
    {
        col.sharedMaterial.friction = 0.5f;
    }
    Debug.Log(col.sharedMaterial.friction);
}
