+		A raycast represents a ray from its origin to its [member target_position] that finds the closest object along its path, if it intersects any.
 		[RayCast2D] can ignore some objects by adding them to an exception list, by making its detection reporting ignore [Area2D]s ([member collide_with_areas]) or [PhysicsBody2D]s ([member collide_with_bodies]), or by configuring physics layers.
 		[RayCast2D] calculates intersection every physics frame, and it holds the result until the next physics frame. For an immediate raycast, or if you want to configure a [RayCast2D] multiple times within the same physics frame, use [method force_raycast_update].
 		To sweep over a region of 2D space, you can approximate the region with multiple [RayCast2D]s or use [ShapeCast2D].
