RaycastHit.distance

Descripción

La distancia desde el origen del rayo hasta el punto de impacto.

En el caso de un rayo, la distancia representa la magnitud del vector desde el origen del rayo hasta el punto de impacto.

En el caso de un swept volume o un sphere cast, la distancia representa la magnitud del vector desde el punto de origen al punto trasladado en el cual el volumen entra en contacto con el otro collider.

Note that RaycastHit.point represents the point in space where the collision occurs.

{
    // Movable, levitating object.

    // This works by measuring the distance to ground with a
    // raycast then applying a force that decreases as the object
    // reaches the desired levitation height.

    // Vary the parameters below to
    // get different control effects. For example, reducing the
    // hover damping will tend to make the object bounce if it
    // passes over an object underneath.

    // Forward movement force.
    float moveForce = 1.0f;

    // Torque for left/right rotation.
    float rotateTorque = 1.0f;

    // Desired hovering height.
    float hoverHeight = 4.0f;

    // The force applied per unit of distance below the desired height.
    float hoverForce = 5.0f;

    // The amount that the lifting force is reduced per unit of upward speed.
    // This damping tends to stop the object from bouncing after passing over
    // something.
    float hoverDamp = 0.5f;

    // Rigidbody component.

        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();

        // Fairly high drag makes the object easier to control.

        rb.angularDrag = 0.5f;

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        // Push/turn the object based on arrow key input.

            // and the height measured by the raycast distance.
            float hoverError = hoverHeight - hit.distance;

            // Only apply a lifting force if the object is too low (ie, let
            // gravity pull it downward if it is too high).
            if (hoverError > 0)
            {
                // Subtract the damping from the lifting force and apply it to
                // the rigidbody.
