Stop raycast from hitting same gameObject twice

Questions & Answers
1

I’ve created a script now that can detect all enemies in a radius. In order to stop enemies who are behind walls from being harmed by the explosion radius, a raycast is sent out in order to ensure that it hits an enemy and not a wall. Unfortunately, if there are two enemies in the same direction, then two raycasts are going to be sent towards the same enemy, thus hitting them multiple times.

My question is: How can I stop an enemy standing in front of another enemy from being hit by a raycast that is intended to hit the object behind it?

if(collision.gameObject.tag == "Enemy") { collision.gameObject.SendMessage("takeDamage", 125); }
        grenadeBody.velocity = Vector3.zero; 

        Collider[] collisionsInRadius = Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position, 3f); //Needs layermask so it only detects gameobjects with enemy tag.  
        for(int i = 0; i < collisionsInRadius.Length; i++)
        {
            Ray explosionRay = new Ray(transform.position, collisionsInRadius*.transform.position - transform.position);*

if (Physics.Raycast(explosionRay, out RaycastHit explosionHit, 3f))
{
if(explosionHit.collider.gameObject.tag == “Enemy”)
{
collisionsInRadius*.gameObject.SendMessage(“takeDamage”, 225);*
}
}
}
//play explosion effect.
Destroy(this.gameObject);

You’d likely have to do a Physics.RaycastAll, and then order the hit colliders by distance. Iterate through from closest to furthest, and stop when you hit a wall.

just create a list on Colliders

List<Collider> colliders = new List<Collider>();

change raycast for raycastall

RaycastHit[] hits;
hits = Physics.RaycastAll(transform.position, collisionsInRadius*.transform.position - transform.position, 100.0F);*

foreach(RaycastHit hit in hits) {
if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == “Enemy” && !colliders.Contains(hit.collider)) { collisionsInRadius*.gameObject.SendMessage(“takeDamage”, 225); colliders.Add(hit.collider); }*
}
