Unity Raycast is a powerful tool used for detecting collisions in 3D space. It is used to calculate the direction and distance from a source point to a target point. It can be used to detect objects in the scene, such as walls and floors, and to detect the presence of a character or other object within its field of view. Unity Raycast also provides support for raycasting in the direction of a target object or point, enabling developers to create dynamic and interactive experiences.

Unity Raycast can be used to create jumpscares in a game, by creating a script that triggers when a raycast hits a specific target. The script can then trigger a sound effect or animation, giving the player a sudden fright. This can be used in horror games to surprise and frighten the player. Unity Raycast can also be used with Jumpscare + Bolt, a visual scripting tool that allows developers to easily create and modify jumpscares with no coding experience. This tool makes it easy to quickly create jumpscares in a game, allowing developers to create dynamic and interactive horror experiences.
