Declaration

public RaycastHit2D CapsuleCast(Vector2 origin, Vector2 size, CapsuleDirection2D capsuleDirection, float angle, Vector2 direction, float distance, int layerMask = Physics2D.DefaultRaycastLayers);

Declaration

public RaycastHit2D CapsuleCast(Vector2 origin, Vector2 size, CapsuleDirection2D capsuleDirection, float angle, Vector2 direction, float distance, ContactFilter2D contactFilter);

Parameters

origin The point in 2D space where the capsule originates.
size The size of the capsule.
capsuleDirection The direction of the capsule.
angle The angle of the capsule (in degrees).
direction Vector representing the direction to cast the capsule.
distance Maximum distance over which to cast the capsule.
layerMask Filter to detect collider only on certain layers.
contactFilter The contact filter used to filter the results differently, such as by layer mask, Z depth, or normal angle.

Returns

RaycastHit2D The cast results returned.

Description

Casts a capsule against colliders in the PhysicsScene2D, returning the first intersection only.

A CapsuleCast is conceptually like dragging a capsule shape through the Scene in a particular direction. Any Collider2D making contact with the capsule can be detected and reported.

This function returns a RaycastHit2D object with a reference to the collider that is hit by the capsule (the collider property of the result will be NULL if nothing was hit) and contains both the point and normal of the contact where the capsule would touch the collider. It also returns the centroid where the capsule would be positioned for it to contact the collider at that point.

The layerMask can be used to detect objects selectively only on certain layers (this allows you to apply the detection only to enemy characters, for example). Overloads of this method that use contactFilter can filter the results by the options available in ContactFilter2D.

public int CapsuleCast(Vector2 origin, Vector2 size, CapsuleDirection2D capsuleDirection, float angle, Vector2 direction, float distance, RaycastHit2D[] results, int layerMask = Physics2D.DefaultRaycastLayers);

Declaration

public int CapsuleCast(Vector2 origin, Vector2 size, CapsuleDirection2D capsuleDirection, float angle, Vector2 direction, float distance, ContactFilter2D contactFilter, RaycastHit2D[] results);

Parameters

origin The point in 2D space where the capsule originates.
size The size of the capsule.
capsuleDirection The direction of the capsule.
angle The angle of the capsule (in degrees).
direction Vector representing the direction to cast the capsule.
distance Maximum distance over which to cast the capsule.
results The array to receive results. The size of the array determines the maximum number of results that can be returned.
layerMask Filter to detect collider only on certain layers.
contactFilter The contact filter used to filter the results differently, such as by layer mask, Z depth, or normal angle.

Returns

int Returns the number of results placed in the results array.

Description

Casts a capsule against the colliders in the PhysicsScene2D, returning all intersections.

A CapsuleCast is conceptually like dragging a capsule shape through the Scene in a particular direction. Any object making contact with the capsule can be detected and reported.

This function returns an array of RaycastHit2D object(s) with a reference to the collider that is hit by the capsule (the collider property of the result will be NULL if nothing was hit) and contains both the point and normal of the contact where the capsule would touch the collider. It also returns the centroid where the capsule would be positioned for it to contact the collider at that point.

The integer return value is the number of objects that intersect the capsule (possibly zero) but the results array will not be resized if it doesn't contain enough elements to report all the results. The significance of this is that no memory is allocated for the results and so garbage collection performance is improved. Note that you will always get zero results if you pass an empty array.

The layerMask can be used to detect objects selectively only on certain layers (this allows you to apply the detection only to enemy characters, for example). Overloads of this method that use contactFilter can filter the results by the options available in ContactFilter2D.

All results are sorted by ascending distance order.
