May you elaborate more? What does raytrace mean here exactly?

raycasting

I wanna raycast from a block towards a direction

Is it from another mod, or a feature done with other kubejs scripts?

I made a radar, and I wanted to use raycasting to see if the VS ship it detects is behind any blocks. So I would need to cast a ray from the block position towards the ship.

So the "ray" does not need to be visible by player, just to check if there's obstacle between two position, does it?

#

I am thinking that maybe you can summon a Marker and make it move along the direction between two points, and check if it get into any block in its way.
