     {
         IsDetected = false;
         Vector3 direction = other.transform.position - transform.position;
         float angle = Vector3.Angle(direction, transform.forward);
         Debug.DrawRay(transform.position+transform.up/4, direction, Color.green);
         Debug.Log(angle);
         if(angle < fieldOfView)
         {

This standard racycast returns the first thing it hits (if anything) and stores it within the "out" value that you specify, in this case "hit" that hit object will then contain a whole load of information about the hit, where in the world it occurred, what it hit, etc etc.

The reason it returns a boolean is so that you can avoid doing any more processing if nothing was hit. If nothing was hit, it returns false and thus does not enter your if statement.

As for what you do with that hit information, well that's up to you.
