RayCast Mask Problem

Here is my code:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.          Physics.Raycast (ray,out hit,90,mask);
3.         //Debug.DrawLine (TimingLight.position,direction,Color.blue,9);
4.         if (hit.transform != null) {
5.             //Debug.Log (hit.transform.name);
6.             var LayerHit = hit.transform.gameObject.layer;
7.            
8.             if (LayerHit != 12)
9.             {
10.                 return LayerHit// <-----Here this is 10?
11.             }
12.  
13.        

the mask is set with check marks by 2 layers (layer 11 and 12)

So how is it EVER 10? I tried reversing the mask so everything BUT 11 and 12 are checked but then i get layers like 18, etc... what is going on here?

 

i just tried this as well: based on examples here (http://unity3d-book.blogspot.com/2014/03/unity3d-raycast-with-layermask-how-do.html):

Code (CSharp):

1. var Cones = 1 << 12;// cones is layer 12
2.  
3.         var Timing = 1 << 11;//Timing is layer 11 ;
4.  
5.         var Mask2 = Cones | Timing;
6.  
7.         Vector3 direction = TimingLight.TransformDirection(new Vector3(0,-200,0));
8.         var ray = new Ray(TimingLight.position, direction);
9.         RaycastHit hit;
10.         Physics.Raycast (ray,out hit,90,Mask2);
11.         //Debug.DrawLine (TimingLight.position,direction,Color.blue,9);
12.         if (hit.transform != null) {
13.             //Debug.Log (hit.transform.name);
14.             var LayerHit = hit.transform.gameObject.layer;
15.             //Debug.DrawLine(TimingLight.position,hit.point,Color.yellow);
16.             //if ((ConeMask.value & 1 << LayerHit) == 0)
17.             if (LayerHit != 12) //11=timing
18.             {
19.                 return BeamTrippedState.Front;
20.             }
21.  
22.         }

Still hitting layer 10...

 

I finally figured it out... It was caused buy the fact that my colider was a child of a Rigid body... So change the code to

Code (CSharp):

1. hit.collider.gameObject instead of hit.transform

 

go with hit.collider.gameobject
