IsColliding is not a definition.

Ekorn

I'm new to this thing. I'm trying to get the value of a RayCast2D. I have the following code inside of a PhysicsProcess.

bool on_Ground = GetNode("ground_ray").IsColliding();

Then I get an error that says:

error CS1061: 'Node' does not contain a definition for 'IsColliding' and no accessible extension method 'IsColliding' accepting a first argument of type 'Node' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Same occurs

I'm super omegalul pepega, and have no idea why I'm getting this or what it means. Afaik, IsColliding() does exist and the reason this isn't working is because it's looking at a Node and not a RayCast2D.

Seems you are using a node for the "ground_ray which doesn't support ray-casting/collisions. Maybe try a different node type? Make sure to try something that supports physics.

ground_ray is the name of a RayCast2D node. Or are you saying that I'm using RayCast2D as a child of a node that doesn't support it?

I guess it might be that the ray is simply hitting something that can't collide.

Are you using GDScript or C#? For GDScript, the function is is_colliding() while for C# its IsColliding(). It looks like you are using GDScript, so I would try is_colliding() and see if that works.

I am using C#. Am I not using the right syntax?

Oh, well if you are using C#, then you need to cast the Node to a Raycast2D so you can access its API. The documentation mentions how to do this in the page C# features. If you use the following code, it should work:

bool on_ground = false;
Raycast2D ground_ray = GetNode("ground_ray") as Raycast2D;
if (ground_ray) {
	on_ground = ground_ray.IsColliding()
}
