Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`raycast(Ray ray, double maxLength, Convex convex, Transform transform, Raycast raycast)`	Performs a ray cast given a `Ray` and a `Convex` `Shape` returning true if the ray passes through the convex shape.

  - raycast
```
boolean raycast(Ray ray,
                double maxLength,
                Convex convex,
                Transform transform,
                Raycast raycast)
```
    Performs a ray cast given a Ray and a Convex Shape returning true if the ray passes through the convex shape.
    The raycast parameter is used to stored the results of the raycast when returning true.
    Returns false if the start position of the ray lies inside the given convex.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ray - the Ray
    
    maxLength - the maximum length of the ray; 0 for infinite length
    
    convex - the Convex Shape
    
    transform - the Convex Shape's Transform
    
    raycast - the ray cast result
    
    Returns:
    
    boolean true if the Ray passes through the Convex Shape
