Find next corner of a 2d pollygon collider
I am pretty new to unity/coding and am currently working on a game that requires me to find the corner of a polygon collider. I have had some success with this but am getting thrown by strange cases. I feel this should be fairly simple and I am missing something obvious.
I currently have a collider created from a set of points, I want to find the point after the collision:
so in this example point 3 would be returned.
I initially set this up to check the distance between the collision and each point what worked okay, however I couldnt distinguish between if it returned the point before or after, and I also had cases like this which threw it completely.
Point 3 should still be returned here, but it was returning point 5.
I attempted to solve this by calculating the area between consecutive points and the collision, then taking the pair with the smallest area. This initially worked really well, however I still get cases such as below where the correct pair of points might not be returned.
in the first example sometimes 7 and 8 would return. In the second example sometimes 5 and 6 would.
I feel like im tackling the problem the wrong way and an easier solution exisits. Ideally I would like a solution that would work with both polygoncolliders and edgecolliders. Any point in the right direction would be appreciated, so far my searches have come up empty.
Thanks,
