Trouble with Physics.Raycast

Hello everyone! I am new to Unity, I have built some simple scripts that work, using the documentation Unity provides; however, I can not seem to get Raycasting to work correctly. It is saying that I have invalid arguments, but I see in the documentation the arguments are all correct. I am programming with C# Thank you for the help!

I do have the raycast script added to the First Person Camera controller.

 

Looks like you are using a definition for the class "RaycastHit" that isn't Unity's implementation.

Could you paste all your using directives?

 

Thank you for the help, though im still getting invalid argument errors

 

Of course

 

I just noticed your class is called RaycastHit

You need to change its name or specify UnityEngine.RaycastHit inside your Update() code

 

Hmmmm, maybe you should use this:

Code (CSharp):

1. RaycastHit hit;
2. if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward), out hit, 1.5f))
3. {
4.     if(hit.transform.gameObject.tag == "Core")
5.     {
6.         Instantiate(DestroyEffectObject, hit.transform.position, Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.forward));
7.         Instantiate(ExplosionSound, hit.transform.position, Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.forward));
8.         Destroy(hit.transform.gameObject);
9.         GameController.GetComponent<GameManager>().CoresGet++;
10.         CoreAmountGUITimer = CoreAmountGUITimerSet;
11.     }
12. }

I use this to "grab" thinks, like the Slender game, implement this to you'r camera, just edit it for yourself.

 

Great! It works, why did I have to mention the UnityEngine class specifically?

 

You have two classes with same names. You can uniquely distinguish only by name space. Here UnityEngine is the namespace for RaycastHit Unity's class . So you need to mention UnityEngine.RaycastHit
