[RESOLVED] Raycasting Question

Does raycasting register hits with a sprite sheet image that has been added as a physics object? 

I have a sprite animation which I have added a physics body to it, as follows:

local sheetData={width=100, height=90, numFrames=30, sheetContentWidth=1000, sheetContentHeight=270} local mySheet=graphics.newImageSheet("object.png", sheetData) local animation=display.newSprite(mySheet, {start=1, count=30, time=2000}) physics.addBody(animation, "static") animation.x=200 animation.y=200 animation:play()

I created a flag on the animation object such as if it gets hit by a ray cast, it will return true. I have tried it with a normal png file

imageOne=display.newImage("box.png") physics.addBody(imageOne, "static")

and it always returns true, but when I replaced the normal png file with a sprite sheet image (as with the first block of code above), it always returns false.

Wow, I’m so stupid. It does work, my problem was with variable scopes. I declared ‘animation’ as local in a function, while I was checking on the ‘animation’ hit in another function. I then changed it and made it available throughout the code and it rectified the problem /facepalming
