Types

Name Description
Component Path Sensor Detects a component moving on a path.
Process Point Sensor Detects a component moving on a path, and then can either stop the path or detected component.
Raycast Sensor Detects a component intersecting a ray cast along an axis.
Volume Sensor Detects a component intersecting or within a space.

Area of Detection

Some sensors need to be assigned to paths in order to detect components.

Other sensors can detect components freely in the 3D world or be filtered to only detect components in a container.

RayCast Sensor filtered to detect components and distances in a path

Signaling Detection

In most cases, sensors use signals to inform other behaviors of detected components. For example, signals used by sensors can be connected to a Python Script in order to trigger events.
