Raycast from child?

Hello everyone!

I am having a problem shooting a raycast from a child gameobject;

I have an empty gameobject in front of the AI's eyes to represent a cone of vision.

I set it up properly in the awake

Code (CSharp):

1. private GameObject coneOfVision;
2.  
3. void Awake()
4.     {
5.         coneOfVision = transform.Find("ConeOfVision").gameObject;
6.     }
7.  
8.  

a call it in a later function like this

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector3 direction = enemy.transform.position - coneOfVision.transform.position;
2.         float angle = Vector3.Angle(direction, transform.forward);
3.        
4.         if(angle < fieldOfViewAngle * 0.5f)
5.         {
6.             Debug.Log ("Correct Angle!!!!!!!!!!");
7.             RaycastHit hit;
8.            
9.             if(Physics.Raycast(coneOfVision.transform.position, direction.normalized, out hit, Mathf.Infinity))
10.             {
11.                 Debug.Log ("raycast shot");
12.             }
13.         }
14.  

I get a debug of "raycast shot" when I just use transform.position but I do not get it when I try to use the coneOfVision.transform.position...

 

Maybe use debug to draw the line and look to see where it's going.
Also make sure your not ignoring raycast on layers.
