Instantiating a game object at mouse position?
Hello there,
So, I'm making a 2D puzzle platformer game in Unity3D, and I wanted to instantiate an object at the current mouse position. The player would move the mouse to the desired position and then press and hold a button -in my case it's the 'C' button- to instantiate the object. Here's my code:
using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;
public class RainAdd : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject cloud;
Vector3 mousePos;
int x = 1;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.C))
{
while (x != 0)
{
Instantiate(cloud, mousePos, Quaternion.identity);
x = 0;
}
}
if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.C))
{
Destroy(GameObject.Find("Cloud(Clone)"));
x = 1;
}
}
}
The problem is this: The object does get instantiated but it's not visible neither in the scene view nor in the game view, and I have tested this code with various other positions, and every time it works fine, except with the mouse position. Any idea why?
Thanks in advance!
See the example for Input.mousePosition. You need to convert the mouse position from screen space to world space somewhere in front of the camera.
