Raycast in Torque 2D?

Is there a function like Torque 3D raycast within Torque 2D? I have looked and cannot find anything like it.

Use the pickRay console method on the Scene class:
ConsoleMethodWithDocs(Scene, pickRay, ConsoleString, 4, 9, (startx/y, endx/y, [sceneGroupMask], [sceneLayerMask], [pickMode] ))
Found in Scene_ScriptBinding.h with a good old search of the source....

@Bruce : If you want a clear example of how to use different picking solutions (Point,Area,Circle,Ray), take a look at the PickingToy included in the T2D sandbox project.

@Simon and Richard: Thanks a lot - Guess I didn't search good enough. I never thought to look at PICK for a raycast.
