<brief_description >
Query the closest object intersecting a ray.
</brief_description>
<description >
A RayCast represents a line from its origin to its destination position, [code]cast_to[/code]. It is used to query the 3D space in order to find the closest object along the path of the ray.
2019-03-14 00:08:14 +00:00
RayCast can ignore some objects by adding them to the exception list via [code]add_exception[/code] or by setting proper filtering with collision layers and masks.
2018-08-30 14:28:48 +00:00
RayCast can be configured to report collisions with [Area]s ([member collide_with_areas]) and/or [PhysicsBody]s ([member collide_with_bodies]).
2017-09-12 20:42:36 +00:00
Only enabled raycasts will be able to query the space and report collisions.
2019-03-14 00:08:14 +00:00
RayCast calculates intersection every physics frame (see [Node]), and the result is cached so it can be used later until the next frame. If multiple queries are required between physics frames (or during the same frame), use [method force_raycast_update] after adjusting the raycast.

The custom color to use to draw the shape in the editor and at run-time if [b]Visible Collision Shapes[/b] is enabled in the [b]Debug[/b] menu. This color will be highlighted at run-time if the [RayCast] is colliding with something.
