i want a raycast to only collide with an object, and viceversa

so i have a sphere where raycast from the camera will collide, I only want that raycast to collide with that sphere, not with anything that could get in the way (say a bullet or something). also I want that sphere to not let any other raycast.

p.s. please note that I don’t ask you to write code for me, simply to explain me how to make it work, that way I will understand it if any tweeks are needed in the future.

thank you for all your help.

Instead of raycasting by using Physics.Raycast, you instead call raycast on the collider itself. This only performs the raycast against that specific collider.

BTW Thanks for not asking for code! I didn’t feel like your question implied that, so no worries.

thanks, this really helps, i asked for code this time because last time I was expecting a link or something but someone showed up with a huge code. really appreciate it and it did the trick, but it was not very helpful since I did not understand it
