Failing to detect items when raycasting

[spare yew]

Hi, I'm trying to have items be detected when I tap on them in AR. My input script is currently like this:

func _input(event):
    if event is InputEventScreenTouch:
        _check_for_hits(event.position)

func _check_for_hits(position: Vector2) -> void:
    if not has_session_started: return

    var camera := $ARVROrigin/ARVRCamera as Camera
    var space = camera.get_world().space
    var state = PhysicsServer.space_get_direct_state(space)
    var from = camera.project_ray_origin(position)
    var direction = camera.project_ray_normal(position)
    var result = state.intersect_ray(from, from + direction * INF)

    print(str(result.keys) + " | " + str(result.values) if result.size() > 0 else "Empty")

However, when testing on mobile, the results return empty.

This is how the item scene is set up

I have also tried InputEventMouseButton but it also doesn't seem to work so I think there's an issue in setting up the colliders or the raycast

Is the box an area ?

[spare yew]

it's a staticbody

with a box collision shape

The mesh is a plane quadmesh as it is billboarding

[scenic brook]

What is the value of box collision shape extents ?

[scenic brook]

The mesh doesnt matter really. Raycast interact with physic body / your staticbody

Its... Small

How about collision shape scale?

What's its value ?

[scenic brook]

Looks good 🤔

[spare yew]

Yeah, I'm doing this in AR so having the size be 1 is way too large lol

[scenic brook]

I never do AR so I just do usually suspect
But your setup looks correct
I wonder what's wrong

[spare yew]

I've heard in a tutorial once that the physics engine doesn't really do well with super small sizes but I can't seem to find it again

[scenic brook]

I think 0.1 should be fine , but yeah my objects are bigger than that

[spare yew]

All right, I'll try scaling it up a bit then

[spare yew]

I did test it on a non-ar setting using mouse inputs to cast the ray, however it still returns empty

scaling it up still returns empty lol

There are some times that it works, however. Yesterday I was able to get a few hits before it failed to detect again

[scenic brook]

Huh? So it doesnt always empty

[spare yew]

yeah, however my setup yesterday had the rigidbody as a child of the mesh instance which someone on another server told me that the rigidbodies might be falling while leaving the mesh in place

so I tried to correct it today and I'm failing to get it hit haha

[scenic brook]

😂

Btw you leave collision layer as default ?

[spare yew]

yup, haven't changed it

[scenic brook]

And you dont change the scale of staticbody

Damn, I'm lost

[spare yew]

yup, I've only changed the extents

[spare yew]

sorry about that 🤣

[scenic brook]

No problem 😂

Can't help with anything then. Hope you find a better help. Good luck
