Hey!
I just started with the LightBeam-Sensor and found a small issue with the range. If I set the minRange to 0.2 and the maxRange to 1.0, the sensor can measure from 0.2 to 1.2 meters. So if I move a cube towards the sensor from outside the measuring range, I get this behavior:
far away: beamhit: False, linearDepth: 1.0 hitpos.x = 1.2
1.19m: beamhit: True, linearDepth: 1.19, hitpos.x = 1.2
0.1m: beamhit: True, linearDepth: 0.2, hitpos.x = 0.2
So it looks like the maxRange is not the ‘Maximum Range for a sensor to detect a hit’.
