If anyone has prior knowledge, do colliders need Rigidbodies to be detected in a Raycast? Can Kinematic Rigidbodies be detected?

All colliders can be detected by raycasts, either kinematic or not.

Thanks for the prompt response guys.

Hey,
Colliders do NOT necessarily need RigidBodies to be detected by a RayCast.
Yes, A kinematic RigidBody can be detected with no problem.
There must be a collider that’s what important.

To explicitly state the opposite: A rigid body cannot be detected by a raycast if it has no collider.
