Hi,

If I remember correctly, it actually has no debug script. Its a fair amount of work to write a simple debug for a box it turns out.

I ended up writing my own custom action using a physics check box instead of box casting. Maybe it will also fit your needs.

Make sure the game object has a box collider when using this action.

I had similar issues with SphereCast, it didn't present a visual debug like raycast does, I ended up attaching a couple of actual spheres at the origin and end points so I could get my head round it.

In terms of it not actually hitting anything, as a guess I'd take a close look at your direction, distance and layer mask values.
