find a world-space coordinate from ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition) raycast

Questions & Answers

How can I find the World-Space coordinate from a raycast with a set distance, without hitting a collider?

Or : is there a proper way of finding a world space coordinate from a 2D input and a set distance from the camera? Example :

Player touches the screen or uses a mouse, either way the input is a screen coordinate.

Ray is cast at a distance of 10.0 :

if ( Physics.Raycast( Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition), 10.0) ) {

even if there is no colliders, how can I get a return for the point that is at the end of the raycast? Thanks =]

Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
Vector3 point = ray.origin + (ray.direction * distance);

"var point : Vector3 = ray.origin + (ray.direction * distance); "

is equal to:

“var point : Vector3 = ray.GetPoint(distance);”
