Description

boolReturns true when obj is excluded by the filter and false if otherwise.

Remarks

Filtering is defined as including or excluding objects based upon a specific condition. Layer mask filtering checks the GameObject.layer and includes it when it is within the layer mask and excludes it if otherwise. IsFilteringLayerMask returns true when ContactFilter2D.useLayerMask is set to true and the obj layer mask is not included by ContactFilter2D.layerMask. This indicates the obj is filtered which means it should be excluded. IsFilteringLayerMask returns false if otherwise.
