Question by shopguy · Mar 05, 2015 at 04:45 AM · physics2d physics2d.raycast

Is Physics2D.raycastsStartInColliders new?

Based on this http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/129715/collision-detection-if-raycast-source-is-inside-a.html and a lot of other things I've read around the community, I thought you couldn't detect collision if a ray starts inside of the collider you want to detect.

Based on this, a setting I just came across, it seems like you can:

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics2D-raycastsStartInColliders.html

However, I'm still not seeing this behavior. Should I be now, with the latest 4.x version?

Also, should it apply to BoxCast (it isn't in my testing)? That is what I really want to use.

According to that, looks like new for 4.6.1. If anyone can improve the answer and confirm it actually works for them, and let me know if it does/should work for BoxCast as well, that would be awesome. It's possible I was on 4.6.0 last time I tested with RayCast, and my current code only uses BoxCast, so I'll have to retest RayCast, but I'd really like BoxCast to work.
