    Can I query the world graph directly without spherecasting?
    For performance,
    for AI

    Can you explain a bit more what exactly do you need? For example, what do you mean by querying the world graph directly?

    If you are looking for a single direction, then sphere cast is the way of doing things. If you are looking in all directions (again with a sphere), then you can do a CalculateDistance check and use an all hits collector.

    You can write your own custom collectors to filter out/accept hits the way you want.
