Feedback RaycastHit: Could we get hit entity position, please?

Hi folks,

as the result is delivering the entityId, is it possible to implement as well the position of that hit entity, please?

Similiar as:

Vector3 hitedObjectPosition1 = hit.transform.position;

Thanks for considering it.

If it returns an entity, you can access the position by using:

float3 hitObjectPosition1 = ComponentDataFromEntity<Translation>(true)[hit.entity].Value;

Of course, there is probably better ways to do this but it is one way to get position from entity.

I also wrote that from memory so the exact method to get the ComponentDataFromEntity might not be the one I remember. Might need a Get- prefix and will only work inside a SystemBase. If you need it in mono, use EntityManager.GetComponentData<>(Entity).

 

Thanks @Kmsxkuse, this would be working if the hit entity is in the query inside the lambda, but I am querying static objects from a subscene.

 

then ... I just learnt:
GetComponentDataFromEntity.
float4 hitObjectPositiontmp = GetComponentDataFromEntity<LocalToWorld>(true)[raycastHit.Entity].Value.c3;

(I needed the LocalToWorld, as it was not used in my ref query. Translation was used(compiler didn't like that.)
Cheers to that.
Thanks again.
