	<brief_description>
		A ray in 2D space, used to find the first [CollisionObject2D] it intersects.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		A raycast represents a ray from its origin to its [member target_position] that finds the closest [CollisionObject2D] along its path, if it intersects any. This is useful for a lot of things, such as
		[RayCast2D] can ignore some objects by adding them to an exception list, by making its detection reporting ignore [Area2D]s ([member collide_with_areas]) or [PhysicsBody2D]s ([member collide_with_bodies]), or by configuring physics layers.
		[RayCast2D] calculates intersection every physics frame, and it holds the result until the next physics frame. For an immediate raycast, or if you want to configure a [RayCast2D] multiple times within the same physics frame, use [method force_raycast_update].
		To sweep over a region of 2D space, you can approximate the region with multiple [RayCast2D]s or use [ShapeCast2D].

	<methods>
		<method name="add_exception">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="node" type="CollisionObject2D" />
			<description>
				Adds a collision exception so the ray does not report collisions with the specified [CollisionObject2D] node.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="add_exception_rid">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="rid" type="RID" />
			<description>
				Adds a collision exception so the ray does not report collisions with the specified [RID].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="clear_exceptions">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Removes all collision exceptions for this ray.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="force_raycast_update">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Updates the collision information for the ray. Use this method to update the collision information immediately instead of waiting for the next [code]_physics_process[/code] call, for example if the ray or its parent has changed state.
				[b]Note:[/b] [member enabled] does not need to be [code]true[/code] for this to work.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_collider" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Object" />
			<description>
				Returns the first object that the ray intersects, or [code]null[/code] if no object is intersecting the ray (i.e. [method is_colliding] returns [code]false[/code]).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_collider_rid" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="RID" />
			<description>
				Returns the [RID] of the first object that the ray intersects, or an empty [RID] if no object is intersecting the ray (i.e. [method is_colliding] returns [code]false[/code]).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_collider_shape" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns the shape ID of the first object that the ray intersects, or [code]0[/code] if no object is intersecting the ray (i.e. [method is_colliding] returns [code]false[/code]).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_collision_mask_value" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="layer_number" type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns whether or not the specified layer of the [member collision_mask] is enabled, given a [param layer_number] between 1 and 32.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_collision_normal" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Vector2" />
			<description>
				Returns the normal of the intersecting object's shape at the collision point, or [code]Vector2(0, 0)[/code] if the ray starts inside the shape and [member hit_from_inside] is [code]true[/code].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_collision_point" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Vector2" />
			<description>
				Returns the collision point at which the ray intersects the closest object.
				[b]Note:[/b] This point is in the [b]global[/b] coordinate system.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="is_colliding" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				Returns whether any object is intersecting with the ray's vector (considering the vector length).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="remove_exception">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="node" type="CollisionObject2D" />
			<description>
				Removes a collision exception so the ray does report collisions with the specified [CollisionObject2D] node.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="remove_exception_rid">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="rid" type="RID" />
			<description>
				Removes a collision exception so the ray does report collisions with the specified [RID].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="set_collision_mask_value">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="layer_number" type="int" />
			<param index="1" name="value" type="bool" />
			<description>
				Based on [param value], enables or disables the specified layer in the [member collision_mask], given a [param layer_number] between 1 and 32.
