Intersection API suggestion

Open Shatur opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Problem description

Currently intersection inserted into a separate entity:

https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_mod_raycast/blob/5949fc7f021e6900c3d14b4e6f22ef4426489441/src/lib.rs#L517-L519

But this behavior is not very expected. In a game with menu, users will need to remove such entities manually when exiting a game session. And since the Intersection component is added to a new entity, users do not have access to information about which entity was intersected (they have to use RayCastSource::intersect_list()), which makes this component not very useful.

Suggestion

I would suggest to just remove Intersection component and its system at all since this information already available in RayCastSource to avoid needless synchronization and duplication.
