+Returns the first object intersected by the ray, if any (i.e. ``null`` if no object is intersecting the ray :ref:`is_colliding<class_RayCast3D_method_is_colliding>` and returns ``false``). This object is not guaranteed to be a :ref:`CollisionObject3D<class_CollisionObject3D>`. For instance, if the ray intersects a :ref:`CSGShape3D<class_csgshape3d>` or a :ref:`GridMap<class_gridmap>`, the method will return a :ref:`CSGShape3D<class_csgshape3d>` instance or :ref:`GridMap<class_gridmap>` instance both of which are not a :ref:`CollisionObject3D<class_CollisionObject3D>`. To validate and ensure type safety, you should explicitly check the type of the returned object before casting.
