I'm trying to make a C# script for a free throw ball game and need to get the mouse position in the world, and it should be in 3D to be able to throw in all 3 axes. I'm kinda new to scripting and the script I wrote works, but not right. I am not sure how to get the depth or the y axis working, because the screen is only 2d .
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class ShootBall : MonoBehaviour {
private Rigidbody rb;
private RaycastHit hit;
private Vector3 com;
private Vector3 shootDirection;
void Start () {
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
void Update () {
}
void OnMouseDown (){
com = rb.worldCenterOfMass;
Debug.Log (com);
}
void OnMouseDrag (){
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
Debug.Log(ray);
Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit);
}
void OnMouseUp (){
shootDirection = com - hit.point;
rb.AddForce (shootDirection * 100);
}
}
The distance from the camera needs to be set on the z-value of the vector being passed into ScreenPointToRay. The reason why Input.mousePosition works as a parameter for ScreenPointToRay is because Vector2 can be implicitly cast to Vector3. So try doing something like this:
float distanceFromCamera = Vector3.Distance(ballGameObject.transform.position, Camera.main.transform.position);
Vector3 inputPosition = new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, distanceFromCamera);
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(inputPosition);
ballGameObject is the gameObject reference to the ball that will be thrown.
