I’m currently experimenting with making third person games as I am a beginner programmer, I can’t get this to work correctly. I can set the crosshair to the mouse cursor position by doing Input.mousePosition, but I can’t stop it from “behaving like a cursor .” Like in most third person games, the crosshair is like above the player, and not directly in the center/right on the player, and it’s locked to it’s position.
Because if I lock the cursor to the center of the screen the ray cast shoots from the camera directly on the player, because it has a collider.
I wonder If I can use a layermask for this?
If anyone knows the game DayZ, you’ll see what I’m after.
Here is my code:
From my weapon script:
void ShootRay() {
RaycastHit rayHit;
Ray ray = MainCamera.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out rayHit, 100, maskEverything)) {
Debug.DrawLine(ray.origin, rayHit.point, Color.green);
Debug.Log(rayHit.transform.gameObject.name);
}
}
Cheers!
