Hi! I'm making a simulator with a 3D cockpit and I need to make use of "hotspots" in order to operate the panel's switches. The artist has created an empty node in the model while I, using an initialization script, assign it a box collider during the start phase.
The box collider seems to be well assigned (see the screenshot) but, somehow, the "hotspot" doesn't get detected by the raycast. Please, notice that the raycast function is already being used to detect the collision with other switches and it's working fine. Do you have any ideas on how can I solve this?
Id make sure your box isn't a trigger, or if it is, you need to enable raycast with trigger in PhysicsManager. Is your cockpit equipped with a collider that might block the raycast? If so, you might want to either get rid of it, or move the hotspot, or set a different layer mask that you then perform raycast against. I can't think of anything else that should be set for this to work.
You can also debug what your raycast is hitting by obtaining the hit objects name and present it in a GUI.Label. Maybe you're hitting something you didn't expect at first?
