SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

Good evening . was wanting to know can a raycast between an object clone and an object detect a hit . If not I have a lot of work to do planting trees.
The reason is I have made 1000 tree clones and I need to know when I run into one of them . 

Yes. That should work. Not sure about an instance though

From my AGK days I can confirm that it does.

Thanks for the feedback.

to make your procedure faster :
-use a distance check before doing the raycast check...

OK thanks will look into it.

if you are trying to position trees on a terrain (with reliefs), there should be a command to get the terrain height (or Y) at X,Z...

GetObjectHeightMapHeight()

I came up with another solution of how to do it and it works very well instead of cloning I have a small piece of code that makes and plants my trees randomly as  objects rather than clones and for checking hits I did something something very similar . Saved myself writing 1000's of lines of code . All working very well too. As for clones I had no luck in detecting hits when I run into the trees but the way I'm making the tree objects is just as fast and the hit detection works a treat.

If you use instances it only has one copy of the mesh

Thanks for all the replies I've now got a road going through the forest so far not too shabby. I'm 11 days into this project and have learnt a few new things . Have an excellent day.
