Casts a ray with the set origin point along the specified direction and retrieves the distance to the intersection point with the
specified object along said ray.
A proper direction should be normalized (that is, the directionX, directionY and directionZ parameters should each be in the
[-1..+1] range), however the internal direction vector created from those values will be normalized if needed.
To get the point of intersection you start at the ray origin position and add the direction vector multiplied by the returned
distance value. Note that this approach requires that the direction vector is normalized.

Return Float = DX11 INTERSECT OBJECT(object, originX, originY, originZ, directionX, directionY, directionZ)

object

Dword
The object to check for intersections against.

originX

Float
The X coordinate of the point of origin for the ray.

originY

Float
The Y coordinate of the point of origin for the ray.

originZ

Float
The Z coordinate of the point of origin for the ray.

directionX

Float
The X component of the direction of the ray.

directionY

Float
The Y component of the direction of the ray.

directionZ

Float
The Z component of the direction of the ray.

The distance along the ray to the intersection with the object, or 0.0 if there was no intersection.
