Attach 3D object to mouse

[meritant]

Hi everyone, I am looking for solution how to attach 3d object to mouse instead of cursor. It must be ping pong racket. I am new in scripting and if you give me few examples I will be grateful to you. Thank you.

• If you don’t have a collider to raycast against for depth reference, but you know the distance from the camera you would like the point to be, you can use Ray : Unity - Scripting API: Ray
• The cursor can be hidden with this command (note : itdoesn’t work in Editor, build your project to see that the cursor is hidden) : Unity - Scripting API: Screen.showCursor

Here is a script that will do it :

#pragma strict

public var cursorObject : Transform;
public var distance : float = 1.5;

function Start() 
{
	Screen.showCursor = false;
}

function Update() 
{
	ObjectFollowCursor();
}

function ObjectFollowCursor() 
{
	var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
	var point : Vector3 = ray.origin + (ray.direction * distance);
	//Debug.Log( "World point " + point );
	
	cursorObject.position = point;
}

Distance is distance from the camera that the object is, play with this value. You may have to scale your cursorObject alot so it doesn’t fill the screen.
