unity-interaction

Raycast interactions in Unity are set up by adding an InteractionController to the player and implementing the IInteractable interface on target objects. This decouples interaction logic, allowing doors, chests, and NPCs to share a consistent detection system.

Yes, this Unity interaction system is designed for RPG, simulation, and platformer games. It provides generic interface-based detection that enables primary and alternate interactions with nearby objects across various genres without tying logic to a specific object type.

No, the Unity raycast interaction system has zero external dependencies. It is a self-contained setup that includes interface definitions, a DetectionController, and input mappings for primary and alternate interactions without requiring additional packages.

Alternate and primary interactions are implemented using the IInteractable interface on target objects. The system maps dual actions to primary and alternate inputs, allowing players to interact with nearby detected objects like crafting stations or switches using separate keys.

Handling player input for object detection in Unity is best managed through a raycast-driven DetectionController. It checks the player-facing direction to identify IInteractable targets, enabling consistent primary and alternate actions without hardcoding logic for each object type.
