RayCasts and BoxCollider2D not working?

Questions & Answers

Hi, I’m having problems detecting a raycast with a BoxCollider2D. The object isn’t marked as a Trigger, I’m using this code:

		void Update ()
		{
 
	 
		 
				// Use Raycast to pick cards that have mesh colliders attached...
			
				Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
			
				Debug.DrawLine (ray.origin, hit.point);
	 
				if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
						if (Physics.Raycast (ray, out hit, 500f)) {

		
								Debug.Log ("Hit: " + hit.collider.gameObject.name);
								if (hit.collider.tag == "Pig") {
										animator = hit.collider.GetComponent<Animator> ();
										if (!animator)
												Debug.Break ();
										animator.SetBool ("Flip", true);
								}

						} else {
								Debug.Log ("Nothing there");
						}
					 
				}
		}

It never seems to return a collision (outputs ‘Nothing there’ in code below). The tags are setup up correctly, the object has a boxCollider2D.

Is there something specific I’m not address for boxCollider2D?

Thanks for any help!

You need to use Physics2D for 2D-specific colliders.

Hi, this might too late but I just found alternative solution by replacing BoxCollider 2D to BoxCollider. The script will be untouched.
