Point towards mouse?

Unity Engine
1

I have tried Input.MousePosition in multiple ways without success. How do I do it?

(btw, the game is 2d)

You can probably use Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint().

I can’t get it to work…

Have a look at that (it works).

public var player : Transform;

private var distancePlayerCamera : float;
private var mousePos : Vector3;
private var targetPosition : Vector3;

function Awake ()
{
	distancePlayerCamera = transform.InverseTransformPoint (player.position).z;
}

function Update ()
{
	mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
	targetPosition = camera.ScreenToWorldPoint (Vector3 (mousePos.x, mousePos.y, distancePlayerCamera));
	player.position = targetPosition;
}

What is your problem exactly ?

Note : for your information, this script needs an object. The script place the object at the position of the mouse.

Sweet! Thats exactly what I needed.

To be honest, I wrote that yesterday for my own purposes… :sweat_smile:

Nice timing, huh ? :wink:
