ShapeCast3D

Inherits: Node3D < Node < Object

A 3D shape that sweeps a region of space to detect CollisionObject3Ds.

Description

Shape casting allows to detect collision objects by sweeping its shape along the cast direction determined by target_position. This is similar to RayCast3D, but it allows for sweeping a region of space, rather than just a straight line. ShapeCast3D can detect multiple collision objects. It is useful for things like wide laser beams or snapping a simple shape to a floor.

Immediate collision overlaps can be done with the target_position set to Vector3(0, 0, 0) and by calling force_shapecast_update within the same physics frame. This helps to overcome some limitations of Area3D when used as an instantaneous detection area, as collision information isn't immediately available to it.

Note: Shape casting is more computationally expensive than ray casting.
