I mean these 7 lines of code for Bullet Physics to call Raycast



http://www.bulletphysics.org/mediawiki-1.5.8/index.php/Using_RayTest

It is already exposed to Lua ? I didn't find it, and it's the most usefull code to make lasers, to detect walls and take cover , to make new weapons or new gameplay by beeing able to detect environment like climbing a wall when there is enought space.

GG is supposed to make games without coding, but coding should have more consideration as GG users made lot of code scripts and sell them.
Raycast is the basics of any 3D engine that have coding support, like particles, this is unbelieveable they are missing.
The more i discover about GG, the more is see missing basics things like particles, navmesh, raycast or today shaders and lighting. Or hard coded stuff lol

It was outvoted by other stuff, as the rest on your list.

This software started as a direct port from the DBPro code from Classic.
Then it was change to C++ code and was rewritten from scratch to leave out the stuff from Classic that was not working well.

Hence a lot of missing core stuff as users wanted a more different result and the voting board controls that.

Yes these are core features that are missing, but were missing from many of the original engines when they first came out.

We all want these things, but it will come when it comes. As there is only one programmer and being pulled in the direction of the voting board, Makes his task a living nightmare I am sure.

There are numerous where is this feature threads on all the boards here, so this is nothing new.

For now we wait.

Well, GG is not a finished product and you've posted a nice list for Lee to add to the voting board.
Have patience, Lee cannot wave his magic wand

We'll wait for better things to come, if GG had some SDK many of us could have helped a lot to improve it, like UE4 that has open source code and get lot of users contributions included in the engine each release. Alone this represents too much work to develop GG in a reasonnable time frame.
