Raycasting and receiving hit.colliders with two cameras

Hello,

when I have two cameras, and one is rendering above the other (for a in-game-menue) and from another script I am sending a Raycast, are both cameras involved?

I am sending a Raycast and my menue-camera is not returning anything when I hit a collider.

Which camera is the script attached to and can you paste your code for the raycast call itself?

You should have a Main Camera, and you can define that camera as the source of the raycast, but I need to see your code to give you a code example

the code for the raycast itsef is

var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);

var hit : RaycastHit;

Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 100);

okay, I see it, there is "Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay" in it. How do I choose the other camera for raycasting?

So you can set a public variable (editable in the inspector) to store the camera you want to use (like var RayCamera:Camera;) then use that instead of "Camera.main"
