Good day,

I am still pretty new to Phaser 🙂  
Is there a Method similar to `layer.getTilesWithinShape(shape);` but just for gameObjects?  
something like `scene.getGameObjectsWithinShape(shape)`

i was just wondering and didn’t find anything close.

i want to check if any GameObject is Touching a Line Between the Player and the Enemy.

Thank you 😃

There isn’t. You can convert game objects to rectangles and use the [Intersects](https://newdocs.phaser.io/docs/3.60.0/Phaser.Geom.Intersects) methods. See

> You can do this without physics. You copy the bounds of the game objects to rectangles and then use the [Phaser.Geom.Intersects](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Geom.Intersects.html) methods. Recycling the rectangles is efficient. Most game objects have two boundaries, possibly distinct: [Phaser.GameObjects.Components.GetBounds#getBounds()](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.GameObjects.Components.GetBounds.html#getBounds) and [Phaser.Display.Bounds.GetBounds()](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Display.Bounds.html#.GetBounds). If you’re not interested in transforms then GetBounds() is faster. [Phaser.Geom.Intersects.RectangleToRectangle()](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Geom.Intersects.html#.RectangleToRectangle) tells you whether the rectangles intersect at all, and [Ph…](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Geom.Intersects.html#.GetRectangleIntersection)
