Hi, m trying to instantiate a texture2d, when mouse hits on the object a a 2dcircle should appear at the hit point and every time i hit, a new 2dcircle should appear at the hit point…

var texture:Texture2D;

{
    Instantiate(texture,hit.point,Quaternion.identity);
}

texture is not instantiating if i use this, is there any other way to do this, plz help

A Texture 2D is not an object but a variable type, therefore you cannot instantiate it. If you want to make a new Texture2D you can just use new Texture2D(width : int, height : int)

Though, looking at your piece of code, you don’t want to create a Texture2D but an object with a GUITexture component. You want to show a texture at the clicked object right? In that case, do the following:

var object = new GameObject();
object.addComponent("GUITexture");

you can adjust the object’s position, rotation and the GUITexture component you created to get the wanted result.

Note: if it’s text you want to display, you can replace GUITexture by GUIText :wink:

hope this helps
