[Python] Monster's utilities - RayCaster

Game Engine Game Engine Resources

Danger: Python code! There is no visible fancy thing to see when running the file.

The RayCaster provides a wrapper around castRay.
It is much more clean then the existing implementation:
A) it is independent from a KX_GameObject
B) it avoids the confusion with all the optional parameters
C) the result of a cast (PH_RayHit) is much better to understand

example:


import bge
import rayWrapper
...
def demoCast():
   ray = bge.physics.createRay([0,0,0], [0,2,0])
   ray.includePolygon = True
   ...
   hit = ray.cast()
   
   hitObject = hit.object
   hitMaterial = hit.polygon.material
   ...

This is a first draft. So version is 0.1.
