Raycast ability

An ability that's invoked by shooting a ray from a given position in a given direction to check for a potential target.

This is useful for abilities like a shot in First-Person games, as you don't need to continually raycast every frame but instead only when you want to fire your ability or weapon. The ability will not continously fire rays as it will return early if the ability is on cooldown.
