              Get collider from raycast
Hello!
I am trying cast a ray that once it hits a gameobject within less than 100 range it will return the gameobject...
This is what I got:
 var hit : RaycastHit;
 
 function FixedUpdate () {
 
 if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, Vector3(-1, 0, -1), 100)) {
     print ("There is something in front of the object! y-");
     Debug.Log(hit.collider.gameObject.name);
         }      
 }
 
               Does anyone can help me?

Just in case this is useful to someone,
to get the GameObject associated with the collider struck by the raycast, simply :
GameObject g = hit.collider.gameObject; string name = g.name;

From the manual:
 // Raycast up to 100 meters down
 
 function Update () {
     var hit : RaycastHit;
     if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, -Vector3.up, hit, 100.0)) {
         var distanceToGround = hit.distance;
     }
 }
 
               The variable 'hit' contains a reference to the collider.

Sorry, but thats not what I want...
What I want is that when the ray cast collides with a gameobject it must return the gameobject name...
