AFRAME raytrace get reference of intersected entity
I got a raycaster component attached to the vr controller entity:
<a-entity id="righthand"
vive-controls="hand: right; "
oculus-touch-controls="hand: right;"
controls-ui
collider-check
>
<a-entity raycaster="objects: .collidable; showLine: true; far: 100; " line="color: blue; opacity: 0.5" ></a-entity>
</a-entity>
and I got an entity in the scene that will receive the raytrace events:
<a-entity id='myCube' class="collidable" position="0 1.25 -6" obj-model="obj: #cube-obj; mtl: #cube-mtl" >
</a-entity>
How do I get the id or any reference of the collided entity in the 'raycaster-intersected' event?
I tried the following code, and nothing seems to contains this data:
AFRAME.registerComponent('collider-check', {
dependencies: ['raycaster'],
init: function () {
this.el.addEventListener('raycaster-intersected', function (evt) {
console.log(evt.detail.el); // not here
console.log(evt.detail.intersection); // not here
console.log(evt.detail);// not here
console.log('Player hit something!');
});
}
});
Thanks in advance.
---------Update-----------
@Piotr Adam Milewski answer is correct. The event to be listening is raycaster-intersection instead of raycaster-intersected. In that way you can loop an array of the intersected entities.
Is it possible to get the same result from raycaster-intersected ?? If that event is emitted on the intersected entity, then It should be possible to get its id and other properties.I dont think is ideal to loop over an array every time an intersection event occurs.

From the docs:
raycaster-intersectedis emitted on the intersected entity. It contains info about the raycasting entity and the intersection details.
raycaster-intersectionis emitted on the raycasting entity, and contains a list of intersected entities.
When using raycaster-intersection try accessing evt.detail.els for an array of intersected entities. Example here
Since the raycaster-intersected is emitted on the intersected entity, you can detect whether the raycaster touched your target.
target.addEventListener('raycaster-intersected', (e)=> {
// intersected, e.target contains the element
// e.detail.getIntersection(e.target) contains info about the intersection
})
Fiddle here. Fiddle with getIntersection() here.
