Quick question, I’m trying to turn off the collision of my player’s heads (because they bump into everything and cause quite a bunch of collision issues). Is there a way to permanently or continuously have the Head’s .CanCollide property set to false ?
It’s forced to be non-CanCollide by the engine AFAIK. I get around this by setting the Head’s CanCollide property continuously to false client-side on Stepped (runs right before physics).
It’s a pretty big hack, but there’s not really any other way to do it without a custom character.

Do PhysicsService collision groups not work on the head? Theoretically you could create a new collision group for only heads that has collisions between the head group and the default group disabled.

I wish this wasn’t the case. It makes it inconvenient to need a hacky way of doing this.
I can confirm that setting the CollisionGroup of the character’s head to anything that doesn’t collide with the Default collision group works.

I should add, by the way, that things that can’t collide with Default can’t be hit by any raycasts either.
For my game, I set the collision group of my character locally so that the server and other players can still hit me.

What’s the name of the default collision group?
“Default”
Instead of creating collision groups manually, I’d recommend using a plugin: https://www.roblox.com/library/826049158/Collision-Group-Editor
