Check if vector collides with the top of a surface

[Swollow]

how would I check if a vector collided with the top of a surface ($TypeMasks::FxBrickObjectType or $TypeMasks::TerrainObjectType)

do a container raycast, get the first brick it touches, do some math based on the brick.getWorldBox() function and figure out if the vector would be within the bounds of the top of the surface at the height that that surface is at.

For a terrain object type (why are you using this), if it finds some terrain you already know the vector has touched the top surface

Lol just realized there would be no purpose to checking for terrain because its just 1 big flat surface

getWorldBox doesn't include rotation, just be aware of this

This shoudn't be an issue because I'm checking for bricks

It may if they aren't square shapes.

Really? Can you give an example?

wedge bricks, I suppose

If something like that really matters, you could use something easy like paint particle detection

I'm having trouble understanding how a brick would rotate so its top was no longer the top....

I only want to find the flat horizontal top parts no slanted

that's a top view

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhh, ya I don't think it would matter

Anything that isn't 1x1, 2x2, etc.

For instance, 2x4 bricks.

but bricks won't be rotated ever, so it shouldn't matter unless it's an irregular shape
