Issue ID

1315339

Regression

No

A Raycast to the point of Collider.ClosestPoint will yield inconsistent hit/miss results when ray is parallel to the Collider

Physics

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project (case_1315339-RaycastClosestPoint)
2. Open DebugSampleScene
3. Click Play
4. Observe what is printed on the Console
5. Change the Z Position of the CubeTest object from -4 to 4
6. Observe Console

Expected result: The Collider is still being hit
Actual result: The Collider is no longer hit

Reproducible with: 2018.4.32f1, 2019.4.21f1, 2020.2.6f1, 2021.1.0b8, 2021.2.0a6

  1. Resolution Note:

    This is an issue with floating point precision in the PhysX SDK itself, caused by the rotation of the object. The returned closest point if off by around 7.2e-7 and because the Raycast is parallel, it misses the Collider.

    The issue can be worked around by not introducing any rotation to the object and instead producing the desired box shape via the Transform Scale.
