var coll: Collider;

function Start() {
    // Store a reference to the collider once at startup.
    coll = GetComponent.<Collider>();
}


function DetectHit(ray: Ray) {
    return coll.bounds.IntersectRay(ray);
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    public Collider coll;
    void Start() {
        coll = GetComponent<Collider>();

    bool DetectHit(Ray ray) {
        return coll.bounds.IntersectRay(ray);
    }
