Question Raycasting a child object doesn't work, even if parent has a box collider

I am working on the item pickup/drop system. This is how the drop looks:
```
- Networked object is spawned, with item data
- That networked object spawns the item model, as a child of it
- Networked object contains small box collider (I have read some questions about child object raycasting)
- Model contains MeshCollider
```
And I want to be able to raycast child object.
I can't just do fixed size collider on a parent, because some items are bigger (weapons), and some smaller (keys).

Does anyone know what to do?

 

Raycasts don't really care about parent/child relationships. They just look for colliders. What are you trying that's not working?

 

PARENT OBJECT:
- NetworkedDroppedItem component (item data)

CHILD:
- Specific item model
- MeshCollider

I try to raycast the child object, just with Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, 20f).

I just want to make RaycastHit a child object.

 

That will work assuming your ray is correct. Maybe the object is not where you think it is or you formed your ray incorrectly.
