[Pogamut-list] RayCasting Bot

[cazub]

Re: RayCasting Bot
Ooops! forgot one Q, is it possible to cast some sort of ray with pogamut where the length is what gets returned? What i mean is a raycasting function where the bot shoots a ray out and can return the distance to the first item or wall hit?

So like My bot is running foward and casts a ray foward and receives a distance of 500, this means nothing is blocking his way. THen lets say he casts a ray and the distance returned is 25, then he knows a wall or obstacle is close and he should turn.

A function like this would be very helpful for a dynamically mapping bot.
