ScreenPointToRay - Missing something simple here?

Questions & Answers
1

I have used ScreenPointToRay without issues before, but for some reason its not working. I must be doing something simple wrong but I cant figure it out. Here is my C# code:

	Ray ray;
	RaycastHit hit;

void Start()
	{
		ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition)
}

	void Update () 
	{
		if(Input.GetMouseButton(1))
		{
			if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
			{
				itemScript = itemManager.GetComponent<ItemManager>();
				Debug.Log("you hit " + hit.transform.name);

				
			}
		}

	}

I am trying to right click on a box (with a collider, and it has no layer so its not in a layer that doesnt see raycasts) and yet all I get is “You hit terrain” , I cant ever hit the box. Argg

Im retarded - its because I was setting the ray at the start function instead of the update function. So of course it never updated! :slight_smile:
