Raycast retuning info of hit object
Hi guys, I believe this is a very simplistic question, but I havent managed to find an answer to this one (at least one that I would understand).
My code:
bool bIsButtonDown = Input.GetButton("Fire1");
if (bIsButtonDown)
{
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit rch;// = new RaycastHit();
}
After hitting an object I would like to get info (tag, or more prefferably name) of the object. My goal is very simple - three boxes in the scene, and I want something to happen when one of them is hit. After getting info it is probably just a simple "switch" but I can`t seem to understand how to get that info.
Being a noob, it will help me even if you can at least point me in the right direction. :)
To do a raycast you can use Physics.Raycast() method:
bool bIsButtonDown = Input.GetButton("Fire1");
if (bIsButtonDown)
{
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit rch;
if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out rch))
{
// do something
// rch variable contains all the info about the object that is hit
}
}
Thank you! I didn`t know that, now it works like a charm! :) In case anyone else needs the same thing I just used this line:
name = rch.collider.name; Debug.Log(name);
Is there a way of only doing something if the raycast hits a specific object? If so, how do you confirm that the object was hit by the ray:
if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out rch))
{
if(*ray hits specific object*)
{
// do something
}
}
I know this question was asked two years ago and that this is a long shot but hey! :P
@Gerflukon lol almost exactly a year later :P Use RaycastHit.transform.gameObject, as per this page:
