Is there anything wrong with my RayCast?

[Sekaus]

I have tried to set up a raycast hit system for my game and have added some static bodies/colliders but even when I directly face one of them, it still does not hit. I have debugged and looked up the data of the colliders/static bodies and it looks fine but it still does not work for some reason...

void Player::physicsUpdate(PhysicsEngine& engine) {
			// Detect mouse click
			if (client.input.getMouseButtonPressed(client.keyMap["break"]) || client.input.getKeyPressed(client.keyMap["place"])) {
				
				glm::vec3 mousePos = client.input.mouseToWorld({ client.mouseMovement.lastPosition.x, client.mouseMovement.lastPosition.y, 0 }, client.camera.proj, client.camera.view, false);
				glm::vec3 normMouse = glm::normalize(mousePos);
				
				RayCast ray = RayCast(position /* The player's position */, { normMouse.x, normMouse.y, normMouse.z });

				if (client.input.getMouseButtonPressed(client.keyMap["break"])) {
					RayCastHit hit = ray.hit(engine, getWorld());
					if (hit.hitSomething) {
						std::cout <<
							"{ X" <<
							hit.position.GetX() <<
							" Y" <<
							hit.position.GetY() <<
							" Z" <<
							hit.position.GetZ() <<
							" }" <<
							std::endl;
					}
				}
				else if (client.input.getMouseButtonPressed(client.keyMap["place"])) {

				}
			}
		}

class RayCast {
		JPH::Vec3Arg origine;
		JPH::Vec3Arg direction;
		JPH::Ref<JPH::Shape> hitPoint;
	public:
		RayCast(JPH::Vec3Arg origine, JPH::Vec3Arg direction);
		RayCastHit hit(PhysicsEngine& eninge, std::shared_ptr<World> world);
	};

RayCast::RayCast(JPH::Vec3Arg origine, JPH::Vec3Arg direction) : origine(origine), direction(direction) {
		JPH::SphereShapeSettings settings(0.05);

		hitPoint = settings.Create().Get();
	}

RayCastHit RayCast::hit(PhysicsEngine& eninge, std::shared_ptr<World> world) {
		JPH::RayCast ray(origine, direction);
		JPH::RayCastResult result;
		bool hit = hitPoint->CastRay(ray, JPH::SubShapeIDCreator(), result);
		const JPH::Body* body = eninge.getBody(result.mBodyID);
		JPH::Vec3 position = origine + direction * result.mFraction;
		if (hit && body != nullptr) {
			JPH::Vec3 normal = body->GetWorldSpaceSurfaceNormal(result.mSubShapeID2, position);
			return { hit, result, normal, position };
		}

		return { false, {}, {}, {} };
	}

struct RayCastHit {
		bool hitSomething = false;
		JPH::RayCastResult result;
		JPH::Vec3 normal;
		JPH::Vec3 position;
		//Entity& entity;
	};

The direction of a ray cast also indicates its length. You seem to be testing a 1 unit long raycast against a sphere, so it's likely that the ray is not long enough. Alternatively you can set the mFraction of RayCastResult to something bigger than 1 to allow detecting hits beyond the distance of 'mDirection'.

Also you are casting a ray against a sphere which by definition is centered around the origin and will never return a body id. You should be casting using NarrowPhaseQuery.
