Unity Layer Mask Collision
Unity Layer Mask Collision
In Unity, you can use layer masks to filter which objects you want to include or exclude in collision detection. To do this, you will need to use the Physics.Raycast()
or Physics.OverlapSphere()
functions, which both accept a layer mask as a parameter.
Here's an example of how you can use a layer mask to detect collisions with only objects on a specific layer:
In this example, the myLayerMask
variable is a public layer mask that you can set in the inspector. The Physics.Raycast()
function will only detect collisions with objects on the specified layer.
You can also use the ~
operator to exclude specific layers from the collision detection. For example, if you want to detect collisions with all layers except for the "Ignore Raycast" layer, you can use the following layer mask:
Here are a few more details about using layer masks for collision detection in Unity:
- To create a layer mask, you can use the
LayerMask
class and theNameToLayer()
function to specify the layer by its name, or you can use the1 << layer
syntax to specify the layer by its index. For example, the following code creates a layer mask for the "Enemies" layer:
|
operator to combine multiple layers into a single layer mask. For example, the following code creates a layer mask for both the "Enemies" and "Player" layers:Physics.Raycast()
function, you can also use the Physics.OverlapSphere()
function to detect collisions within a sphere. This function also accepts a layer mask as a parameter, and it returns an array of colliders that are within the sphere. Here's an example of how you can use Physics.OverlapSphere()
to detect collisions:
