Module TelemeterUnit
Measures the distance to an obstacle in front of it.
Element class: TelemeterUnit
Extends: Element
Functions
| getDistance () | Deprecated: Returns the distance to the first obstacle in front of the telemeter. |
| raycast () | Emits a raycast from the telemeter, returns a raycastHit object. |
| getRayOrigin () | Returns telemeter raycast origin in local construct coordinates. |
| getRayWorldOrigin () | Returns telemeter raycast origin in world coordinates. |
| getRayAxis () | Returns telemeter raycast axis in local construct coordinates. |
| getRayWorldAxis () | Returns telemeter raycast axis in world coordinates. |
| getMaxDistance () | Returns the max distance from which an obstacle can be detected (default is 100m). |
Functions
- getDistance ()

Deprecated: Returns the distance to the first obstacle in front of the telemeter.
This method is deprecated: raycast().distance should be used instead
Returns:
-
meter
The distance to the obstacle. Returns -1 if there are no obstacles up to getMaxDistance.
