Ray shape for 3D collisions.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

Ray shape for 3D collisions, which can be set into a :ref:`PhysicsBody<class_PhysicsBody>` or :ref:`Area<class_Area>`. A ray is not really a collision body; instead, it tries to separate itself from whatever is touching its far endpoint. It's often useful for characters.

If ``true``, allow the shape to return the correct normal.
