Hi everyone, I have been a using a SphereCast instead of a Raycast to try and make it more inaccurate. However my SphereCast doesn’t seem that inaccurate and still misses the object I want to hit. Any idea what is wrong with my script?
public float Distance = 100;
public RaycastHit hit;
if(Physics.SphereCast(gameObject.transform.position, 0.5f, transform.forward, out hit, Distance))
I figured it out. I switched transform.position to gameobject.transform.position since I’m using this with Unity’s default FPS character controller I want it to be relevant to that gameobject.
That effectively does nothing, because gameObject.transform and transform are the same thing. ;)
– iwaldropYou have to change the "Clear flags" setting in the camera to "don't clear". After a recent update to Unity 2017.3.0 I had this problem in my app this solution worked for me! Thanks!

The only problem might be the physics not being updated when you call the sphere cast if the object is moving fast. You should try doing a Debug.DrawRay to ensure that you are pointing where you think you are.
– whydoidoitJust as long as you understand the difference between Vector3.forward and transform.forward. Vector3.forward is in world space, meaning that it always points along the world's z axis, while transform.forward is in local space, meaning that it points along the transform's z axis. Is your transform rotated 90 degrees along the x axis? This would cause transform.forward to point down.
