Check if the target collider is within a specific region of my collider

So I'm in a case where my collider have a left detection range of 30 degrees, and right detection range of 60 degrees. And when there's a collision enter event, i only want my collider to call a function if the incoming collider is within my detection range.

How should i achieve that?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Surprisingly, there doesn't seem to be a way to manually check two colliders against each-other.

However, you could achieve this by making the left and right regions separate colliders, and seeing which one the incoming collider hits.

Alternately, if either of the colliders involved is a basic type (box, sphere, or capsule), you can use the Physics.Overlap___ methods to test collision with them.


If I'm misunderstanding and this is a "vision cone" thing or similar, that's simpler - just use Transform.InverseTransformPoint to put the incoming object in the guard's local space, then use Mathf.Atan2 to see what the relative angle is.

 

As already mentioned, I'd use separate colliders and verify the object is within one of your detection range colliders and then call whatever function.

 

@Errorsatz @Joe-Censored Thank you guys for your suggestions, probably i didn't explain this good enough, what I meant is similar to vision cone. I later used the SignedAngle function to achieve it. Thank you for mentioning the keyword, it saved me a bunch of time !
