What does the 'radius' parameter in Raycasts mean

[Roland]

int LinePick(TPick *pick, TVec3 &point1, TVec3 &point2, flt radius=0, int collisionType=0, BP pickfilter=NULL)

 

I can't find any explanation of what the radius parameter means.

It was meant to give the line a thickness. As far as I know the radius parameter was never finished and working.

 

A sample: Lets take a rocket with a radius of 10 cm, if you check the impact with this linepick method the rocket may leak through tiny holes < 10 cm.

If you add the radius it accuratly dtonate at eg the crack on a wall.

Thanks guys. No wonder why I couldn't detect any difference when changing the value
