I've been trying to learn how to use Raycast2D for days and I'm not able to, I want my raycast to detect when it has collided with an NPC to make some kind of interaction system, but as much as I try the maximum progress I've managed to make is that the raycast works in the direction it should but not the distance, it always reports on screen that it has found the limit map collider, even if I rotate on myself to detect any other collider, first of all thank you very much for reading and for your effort! <3

private void Update() {
    movimiento();
    if (posesion) {
        Debug.Log("ENCONTRADO");
    }

    hit = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, transform.position   direccion2 * 500, 0);
    Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, transform.position   direccion2 * 500, Color.red);
    if (true) {
        Debug.Log(hit.transform.name);
    }
    if (hit.transform.tag == "NPC" && !posesion) {

        Debug.Log("Estamos dentro");
        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2")) {
            timer = Time.time;
        }
        if (Input.GetButtonUp("Fire2")) {
            timerB = Time.time;
            if (timerB - timer >= 3) {
                timer = 0;
                timerB = 0;
                hit.transform.gameObject.GetComponent < NPC > ().turnPosession();
                startPossesion();
            }
        }
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

This part is wrong:

hit = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, transform.position   direccion2 * 500, 0);

It should be:

hit = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, direccion2, 500);
