Ray
Ray
A Ray is a half-line, finite in one direction but infinite in the other. It can be defined by a 3D point, where the line originates from, and a direction vector, which is the direction it goes in.
Constructors
| Ray.new ( Vector3 Origin, Vector3 Direction ) |
|
Creates a new Ray with given Origin and Direction |
Properties
| Ray Ray.Unit |
|
The Ray with a normalized direction (the direction will have a magnitude of 1). |
| Vector3 Ray.Origin |
|
The position of the origin. |
| Vector3 Ray.Direction |
|
The direction vector of the Ray. |
Functions
| Vector3 Ray:ClosestPoint ( Vector3 point ) |
|
Returns a Vector3 projected onto the ray so that it is within the Ray’s line of sight. Note: the Ray must be a unit ray for this method to behave as expected! |
| number Ray:Distance ( Vector3 point ) |
|
Returns the distance between the given point and the point on the ray nearest to the given point ( |
