Coordinates 3d for position of mouse ?

Unity Engine
1

Hi people,

So, im new in Unity and I need to know how I can move an object to a specific point of a terrain when I click the mouse on this terrain, so, i need to know how I can capture the mouse 3d coordinates.

I read about “Raycast”, but i dont understand almost anything, someone has a well explained tutorial on this?

Sorry for my english (google translate).

Thanks.

Look up Camera.ScreenPointToRay(). You can perform a raycast using the ray to determine the intersection point (if any) with the terrain. (I don’t know off the top of my head if there’s any built-in support for raycasting against a terrain in Unity - maybe someone else can comment on that.)

Welcome to the forum, oginnam!

There is an example of raycasting from the camera in this thread.
