Get collider from raycast
Hello!
I am trying cast a ray that once it hits a gameobject within less than 100 range it will return the gameobject...
This is what I got:
var hit : RaycastHit;
function FixedUpdate () {
if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, Vector3(-1, 0, -1), 100)) {
print ("There is something in front of the object! y-");
Debug.Log(hit.collider.gameObject.name);
}
}
Does anyone can help me?
Just in case this is useful to someone,
to get the GameObject associated with the collider struck by the raycast, simply :
GameObject g = hit.collider.gameObject; string name = g.name;
From the manual:
// Raycast up to 100 meters down
function Update () {
var hit : RaycastHit;
if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, -Vector3.up, hit, 100.0)) {
var distanceToGround = hit.distance;
}
}
The variable 'hit' contains a reference to the collider.
Sorry, but thats not what I want...
What I want is that when the ray cast collides with a gameobject it must return the gameobject name...
var colliderName = hit.collider.gameObject.name;
