Fields#

Field	Type	Default	Description
distance	Float	optional	Determines the maximum distance the raycast will travel.
block	Boolean	true	Determines whether the raycast should include blocks.
entity	Boolean	true	Determines whether the raycast should include entities.
shape_type	Shape Type	"visual"	Determines how the raycast will handle blocks.
fluid_handling	Fluid Handling	"any"	Determines how the raycast will handle fluids.
space	Space	"world"	Determines how the direction will be calculated. Only used if <code>direction</code> is specified.
direction	Vector	optional	If specified, determines the direction of the raycast. Otherwise, defaults to the direction at the entity is facing (as if space is "local".)
match_bientity_condition	Bi-entity Condition Type	optional	If specified, the entity condition type will check if this bi-entity condition type is fulfilled by either or both the ‘actor’ (the entity being checked by the entity condition type) and ‘target’ (entity that the raycast has gone through). If not, the entity will be ignored.
hit_bientity_condition	Bi-entity Condition Type	optional	If specified, the entity condition type will check if this bi-entity condition type is fulfilled by either or both the ‘actor’ (the entity being checked by the entity condition type) and ‘target’ (the entity that has hit by the raycast).
entity_distance	Float	optional	Determines the distance of the raycast for entities if entity is set to true. If absent, it will use the higher value between the entity’s attack range (with Reach Entity Attributes compatibility) or the distance field.
block_condition	Block Condition Type	optional	If specified, the entity condition type will check if the block that was hit by the raycast fulfills this block condition type.
block_distance	Float	optional	Determines the distance of the raycast for blocks if block is set to true. If absent, it will use the higher value between the entity’s block reach (with Reach Entity Attributes compatibility) or the distance field.
