I'd like a gadget to triggers when a laser touches it.
The laser can detect when it touches something, but that "something" doesn't know it's touched.
Object has the "detected" properties, when a zone trigger touches a specific scene object. But is there a similar sensor when touched by a laser?
it could be useful to activate events on the touched object.
for example, animating specific pointed object, triggers keyframes, etc.
I'm trying to trigger a text gadget to display the enemy name I'm pointing at for a diablo-like game. when touched (looked at, not physical collision), it would trigger the keyframe to display the text gadget containing its name.
There are maybe another solution, but I have laser in mind and thought a laser touched detector could be useful too.
If it's not possible, I'd like to suggest that feature.
it could be added to both objects and zone triggers.
for zone triggers, the "element to detect" could add "laser", with or without a name tag, to limit to a specific laser.
For objects or groups, it could also trigger "detected", or a new "touched" variable with ability to specify a laser's name if needed.
when the object or gadget is touched, it would send True.
does something like that exist already?
