This is useful for a lot of things, such as [RayCast3D] can ignore some objects by adding them to an exception list, by making its detection reporting ignore [Area3D]s ([member collide_with_areas]) or [PhysicsBody3D]s ([member collide_with_bodies]), or by configuring physics layers. [RayCast3D] calculates intersection every physics frame, and it holds the result until the next physics frame. For an immediate raycast, or if you want to configure a [RayCast3D] multiple times within the same physics frame, use [method force_raycast_update]. To sweep over a region of 3D space, you can approximate the region with multiple [RayCast3D]s or use [ShapeCast3D]. </description> <tutorials> <link title="Ray-casting">$DOCS_URL/tutorials/physics/ray-casting.html</link> <link title="3D Voxel Demo">https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/676</link> </tutorials> <methods> <method name="add_exception"> <return type="void" /> <param index="0" name="node" type="CollisionObject3D" /> <description> Adds a collision exception so the ray does not report collisions with the specified [CollisionObject3D] node. </description> </method> <method name="add_exception_rid"> <return type="void" /> <param index="0" name="rid" type="RID" /> <description> Adds a collision exception so the ray does not report collisions with the specified [RID]. </description> </method> <method name="clear_exceptions"> <return type="void" /> <description> Removes all collision exceptions for this ray. </description> </method> <method name="force_raycast_update"> <return type="void" /> <description> Updates the collision information for the ray.
