For a long time, I've avoided Raycasting and instead attempted to use other workaround methods, of which nearly all failed. However, recently I learned Raycasting in Unity and know just how awesomely useful they are. However, I can't help but notice that the raycasting function used in ROBLOX is very different from in Unity, so I implore you, would someone care to explain the seperate variants and variables of the function?

Nope. They use UnityScript which is a knockoff of Javascript. Not real Javascript.

On my computer unity runs fine. And it's 3.5 years old probably with few hundred viruses on it.
But I can't use it very well because .Net 4+ will not run on my computer :o

Because then they're gonna be extremely smart and won't use dumbed-down words and instead use smart-like vocab.

Just saying If your going to try to use unity.
You will probably have to know C#.

I like Boo Better but there is next to no rescorces for boo. You would have to learn Boo and translate C# into Boo. (Which is not that hard to do)

Btw Boo is pretty much a statically typed python.
