Scene::raycastAnyShape: The maximum distance must be greater than zero!
Hey Everybody! I have made a little level in unity... looks cool and all... But when I switch to game mode, the following three errors appear over and over:
!IsNormalized (dir)
!IsNormalized (ray.GetDirection ())
Scene::raycastAnyShape: The maximum distance must be greater than zero!
Any idea what this could mean? Thanks in advance!
Have you got any scripts attached to any game objects in your scene and/or do any objects have a raycast component?
I just found the error... I got a "lens flare" attached to the camera... wherever that came from :/... thx anyways and merry christmas ;)
make sure you don't have a negative scale on a gameobject that contains a camera

The post is old but for others:
This 2 messages may be related to a not initialized struct.
!IsNormalized (dir) !IsNormalized (ray.GetDirection ())
I.E your script may use ray variable without a correct ray creation:
var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
dir is a vector3? Where do you use it? The istruction tha use 'dir' expects a normalizated vector, so you can initialize 'dir' correctly or you may normalize it with function Vector3.Normalize

I got same problem when I add Camera, Flare Layer, Lens Flare to a GameObject in scene. So I fount that the position and rotation of GameObject is not zero, and I set them to zero, errors disappeared.(the scale are 20, 20, 20).

I disabled flare on light that was very close to camera. Fixed.
