Hello,
I am having an unusual issue with raycasting an object in my scene. The code works most of the time, but then for seemingly no reason at all the object somehow becomes unidentifiable by the raycast despite its location being sound.
The only way I can find to make the raycast find it again is one of two ways:
- toggle on and off in the box collider on the object in the scene view
- remove the object as a child in the scene view hierarchy
Attached is a video demonstration which takes a bit to reproduce the bug @40sec and @3:47 :
Also here is the code for the raycast which is being called correctly:
public ObjectController CheckForObjectAtLoc(Vector3 pos)
{
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(pos);
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit))
{
Debug.Log($"The Hit succeeded @loc:{pos} , the hit is: {hit.transform.gameObject}");
return (hit.transform.gameObject.GetComponent<ObjectController>());
}
else
{
Debug.LogWarning($"The Hit @loc:{pos} somehow missed");
var bo = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<BuildableObject>();
if (bo && bo.transform.childCount>0)
{
var child = bo.transform.GetChild(0);
var screenloc = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(child.position);
Debug.LogError($"{child.gameObject.name} is @loc:{screenloc} , and world pos = {child.transform.position}");
}
}
return null;
}
If anyone has any clue at all why this is occurring I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you
Update:
added:
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(pos);
Debug.DrawRay( ray.origin, ray.direction*1350, Color.red, 5);
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit))
Goes right thru the box
