Issue with ray casting colliding with objects behind other objects

[primal shore]

I am trying to make a basic FPS game for a game jam that I am preparing for, and I'm currently implementing the ability to shoot. My method of doing it is having a ray from the characters line of sight shoot off very far into the distance (image 1). When I attempt to print what the ray collides with, it works, unless there is something behind the enemy I'm trying to have it collide with.
When I click on the enemy when there is nothing but sky behind it, it prints that I am hitting the enemy (image 2, look at console output).

If I click when a static body is behind the enemy, it prints the StaticBody3D instead of the enemy. (image 3, look at console output)

Why wouldn't get_collider() be printing the enemy, but the thing behind it?

Let me know if this is too ambiguous of a question, I can add more details.

Hello @primal shore ,
In the main toolbar on top, you have a debug menu. In it you can make visible the collisions. Does it help ?

[primal shore]

It did not help

get collider is returning the furtherst item it collides with

it seems

[sly pivot]

You can see the collider when you run the game. Can you made new screenshots with this option please ?

[primal shore]

it detects the enemy

get_collider finds the enemy if its the last thing the ray collides with

[sly pivot]

Where is the static body on your screenshot ?

[primal shore]

The floor and the platform to the right are static bodies

I flipped it vertical for testing

If the enemy is the last thing it collides with, it detects it

[sly pivot]

So you clic on enemy, next on the vertical platform and it continue to return the enemy ?

[primal shore]

If I stand behind wall and click towards enemy, it prints enemy, if I stand behind enemt and click towards wall it prints wall

The raycast prints the object that is furthest away from the origin instead of the first thing it hits

Do you modify some options in raycast node ?

[primal shore]

I dont think I did

well I did for masks

and excluding the parent

[sly pivot]

Hum 🤔... Maybe the mask... I do not have other idea sorry 😅

[primal shore]

The main character (me) is in layer 1, the wall is in layer 2, the enemy is in layer 3,

The collision masks for the ray are 2 and 3, which is walls and enemy

so im out of ideas

Discovered a fiox

I just flipped my vision ray 180 degrees in the y axis so the tip of it started in the player instead of the beginning it of

Marking it as solved
