Physics.ray...crash

Bugs
1

Each time I use physics.raycast it crashes my program here’s the code I’m using

if physics.raycast(touch.x,rx) and physics.raycast(touch.y, ry) then
print("c = "..(math.pi *  (rx + 250)))
end

I put that near the beginning of my touched function and im kicked out of codea as soon as I touch the screen.

Those are incorrect parameters for physics.raycast, see http://twolivesleft.com/Codea/Reference/#detail/index/physics.raycast for correct parameters and return values. You could try defining a function to check if there is something at a given position:

function checkLocation(x,y)
    return #physics.queryAABB(vec2(x,y), vec2(x,y)) > 0
end

I’ll look into the reason why its crashing when you supply incorrect parameters.

I know it’s more or less incorrect data, but when you call physics.raycast with two vec2 that are the same, it crashes Codea.
