Mouse controlled Laserpointer

Questions & Answers
1

I have developed a simple multiplayer FPS app. I have used the scripts Perframe Raycast, Laser scope and Laser Pointer from Angry Bots to give the characters a laser pointer to paint objects so that other users can see what they are looking at.

I would like to control the pointer so that it is only visible when the user presses his mouse button. Try as I might I cannot seem achieve this. I have tried inserting a

if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))

command at various points in the scripts (mainly at start of raycast routines) but the best I have achieved is for the pointer to be off at start and then after one mouseclick permanently on.

Can anyone help?

Probably if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) is better since it returns True while the user presses the button. Also depending on the script you used you might just want to enable or disable the component with Behaviour.enabled
