Declaration

public static int OverlapSphereNonAlloc(Vector3 position, float radius, Collider[] results, int layerMask = AllLayers, QueryTriggerInteraction queryTriggerInteraction = QueryTriggerInteraction.UseGlobal);

Parameters

position Center of the sphere.
radius Radius of the sphere.
results The buffer to store the results into.
layerMask A Layer mask defines which layers of colliders to include in the query.
queryTriggerInteraction Specifies whether this query should hit Triggers.

Returns

int Returns the amount of colliders stored into the results buffer.

Description

Computes and stores colliders touching or inside the sphere into the provided buffer.

Does not attempt to grow the buffer if it runs out of space. The length of the buffer is returned when the buffer is full. Like Physics.OverlapSphere, but generates no garbage. See Also: Physics.AllLayers.

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { void ExplosionDamage(Vector3 center, float radius) { int maxColliders = 10; Collider[] hitColliders = new Collider[maxColliders]; int numColliders = Physics.OverlapSphereNonAlloc(center, radius, hitColliders); for (int i = 0; i < numColliders; i++) { hitColliders[i].SendMessage("AddDamage"); } } }
