Description

Does ray intersect this bounding box?

	// Creates a ray that points from the origin to the infinity among the z Axis.
	// And prints if the transform touched the ray.

var ra : Ray = new Ray (Vector3.zero, Vector3.forward);;

function Update () { // Color ra in the scene editor. Debug.DrawRay (Vector3.zero, Vector3.forward * 999, Color.green); var bounds : Bounds = transform.collider.bounds; if (bounds.IntersectRay (ra)) Debug.Log("Touched the ray"); }

public function IntersectRay(ray: Ray, distance: float): bool;
public bool IntersectRay(Ray ray, float distance);
public def IntersectRay(ray as Ray, distance as float) as bool

Description

Does ray intersect this bounding box?

When IntersectRay returns true distance will be the distance to the ray's origin.

	// Creates a ray that points from the origin to 10 units among the z Axis.
	// And prints if the transform touched the ray.

var ra : Ray = new Ray (Vector3.zero, Vector3.forward);; var t : float = 10.0;

function Update () { // Color ra in the scene editor. Debug.DrawRay (Vector3.zero, Vector3.forward * 10, Color.green); var bounds : Bounds = transform.collider.bounds; if (bounds.IntersectRay (ra, t)) Debug.Log("Touched the ray"); }
