+ A RayCast represents a line from its origin to its destination position, [code]cast_to[/code]. It is used to query the 2D space in order to find the closest object along the path of the ray.
+ RayCast2D can ignore some objects by adding them to the exception list via [code]add_exception[/code], by setting proper filtering with collision layers, or by filtering object types with type masks.
+ Only enabled raycasts will be able to query the space and report collisions.
RayCast2D calculates intersection every fixed frame (see [Node]), and the result is cached so it can be used later until the next frame. If multiple queries are required between fixed frames (or during the same frame) use [method force_raycast_update] after adjusting the raycast.
