Raycast from Location

Traces from the origin along its direction, using the Entity Collision and Block Collision tags. Distance is limited to 0–256 blocks.

Where to find it

Set Variable → Operations → Choose Operation → Location. Requires Dev access to configure, then a successful compile to activate.

Inputs

Input	Type	Role	Requirement	Default / constraint
Result	Location	Variable binding	Required	Required
Ray Origin	Location	Value	Required	Required
Ray Distance (0–256)	Number	Value	Required	Required

Options and tags

Option	Default	Choices
Entity Collision	False	True, False
Block Collision	All blocks	All blocks, Non-fluid blocks, Solid blocks, None

These choices belong to the operation configuration, not additional positional arguments.

Result and behavior

Stores the result in the first configured destination Variable. Its type must match the result and any generic element/key types.

Configuration example

Block: Set Variable → Operations
Operation: Raycast from Location
Result: Private Location result
Ray Origin: Location A in the play area
Ray Distance (0–256): 1

Use this as an editor configuration: declare any Variables/collections first and choose real locations/eligible targets for your plot. It is not pasteable source code.

Restrictions and troubleshooting

Use locations and entities in the current plot. World-changing behavior cannot edit protected code areas or escape plot bounds.
