function IntersectRay (ray : Ray) : boolean

Description

Does ray intersect this bounding box?

JavaScript
// 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");
}

function IntersectRay (ray : Ray, out distance : float) : boolean

Description

Does ray intersect this bounding box?

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

JavaScript
// 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");
}
