Raycasting won't detect HitBox

Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if raycasting is currently broken or if I'm just using it wrong.

I have RectHitBox2D components on a few entities and have tried:

Code (JavaScript):

1. this.world.forEach([ut.Core2D.Camera2D, ut.Entity],
2.                 (cam, camEntity) =>
3.                 {
4.                     let ray = ut.HitBox2D.HitBox2DService.rayCast(this.world, new Vector3(-4.5, -1.5, 0), new Vector3(4.5, -1.5, 0), camEntity);
5.  
6.                     if(!ray.entityHit.isNone)
7.                     {
8.                         console.log("Ray hit.");
9.                     }
10.                     else
11.                     {
12.                         console.log("No ray hit.")
13.                     }                  
14.                 });

This ray runs across three different entities, and yet they never register. Everything is on the same layer. Has anyone out there successfully used raycasting for anything yet?

 

I had same issue . Maybe we are doing something wrong or raycast is broken

 

The

entityHit.isNone

is a method and should therefore be called like

entityHit.isNone()

 

This is it exactly! Thank you very much. Still trying to get a handle on TypeScript.

 

What components are you using to get the raycast to work?

I tried it with BoxCollider2D and a Rigidbody2D

Then i tried it with a RectHitBox2D (which says you have to have a sprite renderer to use)
So i tried it with a Sprite2DrendererHitBox2D because it was saying i needed a sprite anyways

Then i tried it with a RectHitBox2D and a Rigidbody2D

All of those returned true for isNone() tho, so im wondering if im using the components wrong, or if i coded soemthign wrong.

Altho im using the same code as OP

Code (JavaScript):

1.  this.world.forEach([ut.Core2D.Camera2D, ut.Entity], (camera, camEntity) => {
2.  
3.        
4.                 let ray = ut.HitBox2D.HitBox2DService.rayCast(this.world, new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector3(0, -2.5, 0), camEntity);
5.                 if(ray.entityHit.isNone())
6.                 {
7.                     console.log("No Ray hit.");
8.                 }
9.                 else
10.                 {
11.                     console.log("Ray hit.")
12.                 }
13.             });

 

Seem to of figured it out.

If your raycast hits a BoxCollider2D at ALL, it will ALWAYS return empty, regardless of if there is also a RectHitBox2D or not

So its not possible to overlap a a RectHitBox2D onto a BoxCollider2D for raycasting into the ground to detect for when you land on the ground. But, you can use a hittest instead.


*Edit*
Maybe its not the BoxCollider2D, i think its if it hits an area where theres tilemaps drawn?

*Edit*
I have no idea what it is, just seems like it doesnt work at random places on the screen

 

Im aware of that, i was pointing out that my Raycast randomly does not work when moving it around the screen while trying to raycast into a RectHitbox2D.

At first i thought it was because i ALSO had BoxCollider2D , but i was mistaking as my edit pointed out.
