Godot Engine - Know Your Nodes: RayCast2D @Kidscancode

Uploaded June 2017 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

"Know Your Nodes" is a series of Godot Game Engine videos where we take a single node type and show how it’s used. Maybe you’ve never come across this particular node before, or maybe you were just wondering what it’s for, but hopefully after this you’ll have a new tool you can use making your own games. This time we'll be demonstrating how to use the RayCast2D node.
