From Python SDK:

Retrieves the intersection, found by GeRayCollider.Intersect(), by index:

intersection = rc.GetIntersection(id)

intersect["face_id"] # The polygon index, int
intersect["tri_face_id"] # If first half of quad or triangle face_id + 1, else -(face_id + 1), int
intersect["hitpos"] # Position of the intersection, c4d.Vector
intersect["distance"] # Distance to the intersection, float
intersect["f_normal"] # Face normal. (Not normalized.), c4d.Vector
intersect["barrycoords"] #Barrycentric coordinates of the intersection. (x = u, y = v, z = d), c4d.Vector
intersect["backface"] # True if the intersected face's normal points away from the camera, otherwise False, bool

the intersection to points, is it possible?

Please clarify your question, nobody knows what you are talking about. An intersection is
a point in 3D space, if this is what you mean.

Hi NiklasR.
I would like to move an object and the object must target one of the point of another object

example:

obj = doc.GetActviveObject()

obj_target= doc.GetFirstObject()

I would like to move, with GeRayCollider, obj to obj_target.

My intersection would be a point of obj_target points.

Hi Runner,

The quote you posted tells you: intersect["hitpos"] # Position of the intersection, c4d.Vector

After you have successfully initialized the GeRayCollider and sent a ray through time and space,
you can use GeRayCollider.GetIntersectionId() to retrieve information about one of the
intersections the collider figured. The returned value is a dictionary and contains the hit position
as the documentation states.

import c4d

def main() :
target = doc.GetFirstObject()
if not op or not target:
return
if not isinstance(target, c4d.PolygonObject) :
return c4d.gui.MessageDialog("First object must be a polygon object.")

collider = c4d.utils.GeRayCollider()
if not collider.Init(target) :
return c4d.gui.MessageDialog("GeRayCollider failed to initialize.")

bd = doc.GetActiveBaseDraw()
cam = bd.GetSceneCamera(doc)
cam_mg = cam.GetMg()

ray_p = cam_mg.off
ray_d = cam_mg.v3
length = 1000000000

does_intersect = collider.Intersect(ray_p, ray_d, length)
if not does_intersect:
return c4d.gui.MessageDialog("No Intersection found.")

inter = collider.GetNearestIntersection()
mg = op.GetMg()
mg.off = inter["hitpos"]
doc.AddUndo(c4d.UNDOTYPE_CHANGE_SMALL, op)
op.SetMg(mg)
c4d.EventAdd()

main()

Usage: Make the first object in the scene editable. Select another object and place the camera
so that the center directly points on a polygon on the surface of the first object.

Please note that the documentation (R14.041) is wrong here: The "goal" parameter does not
only need to be a BaseObject, it even needs to be a PolygonObject. You can convert any object
to a polygon object, there's plenty information here in the fourm.

Cheers,

Thanks NiklasR

but i have have successfully initialized the GeRayCollider, with intersect["hitpos"]...

but my object is positioned of polygon surface...

I want the new op.SetMg(mg) is only points of first object... no surface.... You can only get points from ["hitpos"] library?
How?...

Hi Runner,

I am sorry, but I can not understand what you are saying. Do you want to calculate "intersections"
with points rather than a polygon surface?

Best regards,
