boolean	raycast(Ray ray, double maxLength, Convex convex, Transform transform, Raycast raycast)	Performs a ray cast given a Ray and a Convex Shape returning true if the ray passes through the convex shape.

Method Detail

raycast

boolean raycast(Ray ray,
                double maxLength,
                Convex convex,
                Transform transform,
                Raycast raycast)

Performs a ray cast given a Ray and a Convex Shape returning true if the ray passes through the convex shape.

The raycast parameter is used to stored the results of the raycast when returning true.

Returns false if the start position of the ray lies inside the given convex.

Parameters:

ray - the Ray

maxLength - the maximum length of the ray; 0 for infinite length

convex - the Convex Shape

transform - the Convex Shape's Transform

raycast - the ray cast result

Returns:

boolean true if the Ray passes through the Convex Shape
