What I want to do is to find a way to know if there is something on the left/right of the player but for some reason, my code does not work.

    Vector3 rayDirection = new Vector3();

    switch (currentCameraSide)
    {
        case CameraSide.Left:
            rayDirection = -transform.right;

            break;
        case CameraSide.Right:
            rayDirection = transform.right;

            break;
    }

    // Start the ray pos from the player's head
    Vector3 playerStartPoint = transform.position   (transform.up * 1.5f);
    // The direction of the ray (left/right)
    Vector3 playerEndPoint = playerStartPoint   rayDirection;

    if (Physics.Raycast(playerStartPoint, playerEndPoint, out RaycastHit raycastHitA, sideCameraRayLenght, aimColliderMask))
    {
        Debug.Log($"Hitting: {raycastHitA.transform.name}");
    }

Basically what is happening is no matter what direction the player is facing, the direction of the hit is always left (possible world coords?)

CodePudding user response：

Raycast in the form you use it expects

• a start position
• a direction

you are giving it two positions ...

-> simply use the rayDirection itself as second parameter
