How to SphereCast properly ?

panicq

Hey,

What is the best way (performance wise) to do a spherecast in godot ? I need the normal and position of the intersection, exactly like in Unity (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.SphereCast.html)

Thanks in advance !

Ummm, I think there is no spherecast, but you can use a collision shape.... because collison shape and raycast are literally the same but ray cast has a better impact, if you are not handling with fast and small objects, you can actually use collision shape. i guess at least...

You can use a collision shape with a cylinder, raycast and sphere cast are for small and fast objects, if your project does not contain small and fast objects you can use collision shape...
