Unity Script Reference – Bounds.IntersectRay

Bounds.IntersectRay

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");
}

            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");
}

using UnityEngine;

public class example : MonoBehaviour {
    public Ray ra = new Ray(Vector3.zero, Vector3.forward);
    public float t = 10.0F;
    void Update() {

        Bounds bounds = transform.collider.bounds;
        if (bounds.IntersectRay(ra, out t))
            Debug.Log("Touched the ray");
