I'd like to use GeColliderEngine/GeColliderCache or GeRayCollider to get the minimum distance between two objects in a certain direction (orthogonal). DoDistance() only returns a Real number which will not suffice.

GeRayCollider may come in handy for this pursuit, but not certain how to employ it for such a calculation.

Otherwise I'm back to the documentation on GJK and other methodologies.

Thank you,
