Select GameObjects OnSceneView without Colliders
I'm using onSceneGUIDelegate to do very specific things on the scene view:
first one will be to instantiate gameObjects with 1 click
Second one is to delete gameObjects with key + click
First one it's done, easy.
However to achieve the second one I need to know whats under my mouse when I click without the gameObjects having colliders. It's very important that I can select them without colliders given that not all of them will have them but, they do need to have at-least one renderer of any kind.
Of course I know where my mouse is on world space, that's no problem.
Any ideas? I might be approaching this from the wrong perspective, if so, let me know which way you would approach it.
I found the answer for anyone looking for the same thing
GameObject go = HandleUtility.PickGameObject(Event.current.mousePosition, false);
This will do the trick, cheers!
If anyone's interested I figured this a while back, all you need to do is call
void OnSceneGUI(SceneView view)
{
Event e = Event.current;
GameObject go = HandleUtility.PickGameObject(e.mousePosition, true);
// Do what you must with the go selected
Debug.Log(go);
}
The second parameter will select the prefab root if set to true, here the link to the doc:

wow, didn't know they have such a convenient function ! thanks!
