GvrPointerGraphicRaycaster

This script provides a raycaster for use with the GvrPointerInputModule.

Summary

This behaves similarly to the standards Graphic raycaster, except that it utilize raycast modes specifically for Gvr.

See GvrBasePointerRaycaster.cs and GvrPointerInputModule.cs for more details.

Inheritance

bool ignoreReversedGraphics = true

Flag for ignoring reversed graphics direction.

Properties

override Camera eventCamera

Gets the event Camera used for gaze-based raycasts.

The event camera.

Protected functions

GvrPointerGraphicRaycaster

 GvrPointerGraphicRaycaster()

Initializes a new instance of the GvrPointerGraphicRaycaster class.

PerformRaycast

virtual override bool PerformRaycast(
  GvrBasePointer.PointerRay pointerRay,
  float radius,
  PointerEventData eventData,
  List< RaycastResult > resultAppendList
)

Perform raycast on the scene.

Details

Parameters

`pointerRay`	The ray to use for the operation.
`radius`	The radius of the ray to use when testing for hits.
`eventData`	The event data triggered by any resultant Raycast hits.
`resultAppendList`	The results are appended to this list.

Returns

Returns true if the Raycast has at least one hit, false otherwise.
