hi …
It is possible to detect the distance , using rycast system ?

i am using below code to shoot … and kill works, but i need to obtain the distance
on a sniper game, to show the player the distance…
it isposible ?

thanks
here is the code I use.

var Effects: GameObject;
var TheDamage = 100;

function Update () {
	
	var hit : RaycastHit ;
	var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Vector3(Screen.width*0.5, Screen.height*0.5, 0));
	
	if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
	{
		if (Physics.Raycast (ray,hit,100))	
		{
			var particleClone = Instantiate (Effects, hit.point, Quaternion.LookRotation(hit.normal));
			Destroy(particleClone.gameObject, 2);
			hit.transform.SendMessage("ApplyDamage", TheDamage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
			Debug.DrawLine (ray.origin, hit.point);
		}
	}
}

The returned hit object should have a “distance” member which is documented as:

“The distance from the ray’s origin to the impact point.”
