Detailed Description

Sweeps over a region of 3D space using a series of equally-spaced-out raycasts.

The center raycast, being located in the middle (or close to it), is assigned to the greatest integer that's less than or equal to the median index. "index" here refers to the numerical index that a raycast is located in within a raycast sweep from left to right.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ SweepOrder

enum UTheCat.Jumpvalley.Core.Raycasting.RaycastSweep.SweepOrder

List of possible orders in which RaycastSweep can iterate over its raycasts when PerformSweep is called.

Enumerator
LeftToRight	Sweep from left to right.
RightToLeft	Sweep from right to left.
CenterLeftRight	Sweep starting from the center. Then go from left to right (excluding the center raycast)
CenterRightLeft	Sweep starting from the center. Then go from right to left (excluding the center raycast)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ RaycastSweep()

UTheCat.Jumpvalley.Core.Raycasting.RaycastSweep.RaycastSweep	(	int	numRaycasts,
		Vector3	startPosition,
		Vector3	endPosition,
		float	raycastLength )

inline

Creates a new RaycastSweep with the given raycast count, starting position, and ending position.

Parameters

numRaycasts
startPosition
endPosition

Member Function Documentation

◆ PerformSweep()

RaycastSweepResult UTheCat.Jumpvalley.Core.Raycasting.RaycastSweep.PerformSweep ( SweepOrder order )

inline

Runs through the raycasts in Raycasts in the order specified.

This returns raycast collision information about the first raycast in Raycasts that got collided with.

Because multiple raycasts in the raycast sweep could be colliding with something at the same time, whichever counts as the "first" raycast to hit something depends on the SweepOrder specified in order .

If no raycast in Raycasts is currently hitting something, this method returns null.

Parameters

order The order in which to run through the raycasts

Returns: The results of this raycast operation
