Physics2D.OverlapPoint

public static Collider2D OverlapPoint(Vector2 point, int layerMask = DefaultRaycastLayers, float minDepth = -Mathf.Infinity, float maxDepth = Mathf.Infinity);

Parameters

point A point in world space.
layerMask Filter to check objects only on specific layers.
minDepth Only include objects with a Z coordinate (depth) greater than or equal to this value.
maxDepth Only include objects with a Z coordinate (depth) less than or equal to this value.

Returns

Collider2D The cast results returned.

Description

Check if a collider overlaps a point in space.

The optional layerMask allows the test to check only for objects on specific layers.

Although the Z axis is not relevant for rendering or collisions in 2D, you can use the minDepth and maxDepth parameters to filter objects based on their Z coordinate. If more than one collider overlaps the point then the one returned will be the one with the lowest Z coordinate value. Null is returned if there are no colliders over the point.
