Ray from camera that has an angle and calculating right position

[Kurt-Dekker]

You can raycast to other things than a collider. If you make a mathematical Plane object (invisible) at the altitude you want your plane to fly at, then you just raycast to that.

That’s how I would do the “where is the player” problem in Shooty Skies. (EDIT: I did NOT write shooty skies; I’m simply observing the video)

Raycasting, colliders, planes, Plane, etc:

(Help)How can i detect how many raycasts are hitting an object?

There are many types of 3D raycasts. One is the generic Physics one: hits anything in the scene Another is one that lives on a collider. If you know which collider you care about, you can use that collider instance to see if a ray hits it. That way you not only know that it hit, but because you are already asking "Did anything hit this collider?" you also know what collider it is. These are some of the types of 3D raycasts: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.htm…

Keeping a plain/terrain within the view frustrum

You can get rays from the camera at a given spot, so one approach is to cast rays from the camera corners and make sure they hit your terrain, or hit your terrain bounding box. To ignore screen pixel dimensions and just get the corner rays, this is the API you want: The nice part is that it doesn’t matter how your camera is set, how your field of view is set, etc., It just works. You can use this to raycast and hit physics on your ground using: asks “did I hit any collider in the scene?…

BE SURE to get the order of constructors correct for a new Plane() object!!
