Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to cast a ray forward from the object.

Unity

Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position, transform.[1]);

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using transform.up or transform.right instead of forward.

Forgetting to use transform before the direction.

The transform.forward vector points in the forward direction of the object, which is used to cast the ray forward.

medium

Complete the code to check if the ray hits any object within 10 units.

Unity

if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, [1])) {
    Debug.Log("Hit detected");
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a distance too small or too large for the intended detection.

Omitting the distance parameter.

The raycast checks for hits within a distance of 10 units.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the raycast code to correctly detect hits.

Unity

if (Physics.Raycast([1], out RaycastHit hit)) {
    Debug.Log("Object hit: " + hit.collider.name);
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing only the origin or direction instead of the full ray.

Passing the transform position instead of a ray.

The Physics.Raycast method requires a Ray object as the first argument, not just origin or direction.

4fill in blank

hard

Complete the code to create a dictionary of objects hit by rays longer than 5 units.

Unity

var hits = new Dictionary<string, float>();
    hits[hit.collider.name] = hit.distance;;
if (hit.distance [1] 5) {
    Debug.Log("Far hit detected");
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

D<

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a comma instead of a semicolon to end the dictionary entry.

Using less than operator instead of greater than.

The dictionary entry ends with a semicolon, and the condition checks if the hit distance is greater than 5.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to store hit objects with their names in uppercase and distances greater than 3.

Unity

var detected = new Dictionary<string, float> {
    {hit.collider.[1](), hit.[2]
};
if (hit.distance [3] 3) {
    Debug.Log("Detected " + hit.collider.name);
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Dtag

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using tag instead of name.ToUpper().

Using less than operator instead of greater than.

Forgetting parentheses on ToUpper().

The name is converted to uppercase using ToUpper(), the distance is stored, and the condition checks if distance is greater than 3.
