Hello.

I want to create strategy game. When player clicks place in plane, I want to image appear at this place.

I have created canvas with world space and attached camera to its attributes. Then I have rotated and placed it so my plane and canvas are in same position.

Question: How to make some image appear in place of canvas where I click with my mouse?

Your in luck. I just recorded a tutorial on a very similar concept. In essense you want to create your image as a prefab then Instantiate it at the mouse position.

I have found solution:

        RectTransform rectTransform = pointer.GetComponent<RectTransform>();
        rectTransform.position = position;

Since my Canvas is World Space, I just needed to set position depending on raycast hit.
