is there a way to check what material or texture a raycast is hitting?

Not directly - raycasts only hit colliders, so you'll have to add/set the hit game object to the found objects and go from there.
I.e. get material/texture from whatever component is using it :)

can makinom find multiple hit objects with multiple raycast from same schematic or will they overwrite each other?

wtyson

also there seems to not be a node for getting the texture of a game object

Sure, you can use as many raycast nodes as you want (also, a raycast can optionally find multiple objects). You can add the hit game objects to the found objects, using Add change type will add objects to the list, using Set will clear the list first.

You can't really get the texture, as there is nowhere to put them to. However, you can use the Check Fields node to check which texture or material is used by a component.

ahh yeah didnt think of that thanks

ok seems raycast cant store the gameobject hit. it has hit point, distance , an normal but no game object..


scratch that you can pull the found game object from all the steps but still cant store it in a variable. but guess thats ok since you can start a tagged machine on the hit object so ill make a request for storing the hit objects in the request forums

Game objects can only be stored in the Found Objects or Global Objects, not in variables.

hmm yeah it works fine as is. just was asking cause playmaker had a a way to store them in there own variables.
