I didn't think this fit into any other category, so i'll post here (mods, feel free to move it if necessary). I am trying to use raycasting in my game, but for some reason, my ray doesn't show up and work.

if mouseclick() = 1
rhit = RayIntersectObjectPRO(fieldOBJ,1,1.5, 10, 1.2, 1.5, -10, 1.2)
if rhit=1 then cls:print "YAY":

YAY never gets printed even if the ray hits the fieldOBJ

Firstly, the Ray won't "show up", it doesn't create an object, it's a concept.

Secondly...have you SYNCed after the code you've pasted in above?

Are you sure the ray is hitting the object as well?

Do you have any SetCollisionsPRO() statements defined? You're testing your object as an ellipsoid, so it's a requirement that your object is defined as an ellipsoid first.

Yes, I have used SetCollisionsPRO, and I am sure the ray is hitting the object. And yes, I have synced after the code.

Should you be testing the wall as a mesh? Most walls don't fit into an ellipsoid very well.

Try code layout like this:



Notice the use of number 2 (or TYPE_NGC_MESH) as the second parameter of the RayIntersectObjPRO() command. This matches the setting in our SetCollisionsPRO() statement because the 2nd type (type_walls) is defined as a mesh.

You probably just missed one of those setup steps for your wall. If you prefer the wall to be tested as an ellipsoid, then change the SetCollisionsPRO() statement to ellip_2_ellip and the raycast command to TYPE_NGC_ELLIP.

Technically, i designed that site, as i made it from scratch myself. The template you've done for me is good, but i'm currently looking to finish something so i have content to put on the template...

So i guess you can keep the sig for now...
