spell_raycast_bounce collision is indicated by red damage text
Issue is that spell_raycast_bounce collides with the spell_raycast collision point instead of colliding with the test enemy (blue silhouette)
Hit from inside is disabled
I don’t know how or why this is happening. please ask if you need more info
func ray_bounce(_delta : float) -> void:
global_position = parent.global_position + parent.spell_direction.normalized() * 30
direction = parent.spell_direction.normalized().rotated(deg_to_rad(angle_offset))
parent.mana -= spell["mana"]
spell_raycast.target_position = direction * spell["size"]
if spell_raycast.is_colliding():
if spell_raycast.get_collider() is StaticBody2D: #collision with enviroment
var collision_normal = spell_raycast.get_collision_normal()
var collision_pos = spell_raycast.get_collision_point()
var reflected_dir = spell_raycast.target_position.bounce(collision_normal).normalized()
spell_raycast_bounce.position = to_local(collision_pos)
spell_raycast_bounce.target_position = reflected_dir * (spell["size"] - to_local(collision_pos).length())
elif spell_raycast.get_collider().is_in_group(hostile): #collision with enemy
spell_raycast_bounce.position = spell_raycast.target_position
spell_raycast_bounce.target_position = Vector2.ZERO
_on_spell_area_body_entered(spell_raycast.get_collider())
if spell_raycast_bounce.is_colliding(): # bounced ray collision with enemy
print(spell_raycast_bounce.get_collider())
if spell_raycast_bounce.get_collider().is_in_group(hostile):
_on_spell_area_body_entered(spell_raycast_bounce.get_collider())
else: # no collision
spell_raycast_bounce.position = spell_raycast.target_position
spell_raycast_bounce.target_position = Vector2.ZERO
Yes, as far as I’m aware the code block (line 132 - line 135) is handling collision with an enemy without a bounce so spell_raycast_bounce should not be relevant.
I tried this spell_raycast_bounce.global_position = collision_pos at line 129 but with no new result
Don’t test bounce ray on the same frame you’ve set it. The collision will happen on the next physics tick so what you’re getting is likely from the previous physics tick. Update both rays every frame and always only use bounce ray for determining the final result. If there is no bouncing, make the rays coincide. Let the first ray only register walls.

So i should split my ray function into two pieces, one that sets the rays and another that checks collisions? Or do you mean to use force update after setting it
Let the first ray only register walls.
The bounce is an additional attribute (basic spell dosent have bounce). the first ray should be able to hit enemies aswell
Start by splitting it, yes. When you make this working you can experiment with forcing it if needed.
Let rays have fixed responsibilities to avoid confusion. The ray that hits the enemies should always be the same ray. When the bounce is attained the ray added should be the “first” ray, and let it only collide with walls.
couldnt really get it to work but fixed it by changing line 129 to spell_raycast_bounce.global_position = collision_pos - collision_pos.normalized() # - collision pos norm to prevent hitting from inside
Weird that hit from inside didn’t work
I feel i understand raycasts a bit more. Thanks for the help!
