Can someone explain why my Raycasting doesn't work? please :)
I want to make an object (my player) move toward a mouse click. I managed to get the player to move to the target, but I can't set the position of the target to where I click with the mouse. I found out about Raycasting, but I haven't got any experience with programming/scripting so I'm struggling.
Here's what I have: An object (my player), a quad (the ground, tagged "Ground") and a target object (to walk towards). The game is setup in 2D mode (it's a mini 2D game).
Here's the code in the script I attached to the main camera:
void Update ()
{
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
Debug.DrawRay (ray.origin, ray.direction * 10, Color.yellow);
RaycastHit hit;
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit)) {
if (hit.collider.tag == "Ground") {
Debug.Log ("Touch Detected...");
}
}
}
}
Any help/pointers appreciated! :)
The code looks fine. Put this between line 8 and 9 to check if your Raycast() is succeeding, and if so, what it is hitting:
Debug.Log(hit.collider.name+", "+hit.collider.tag);
Thanks robertbu! It turns out I tagged it "ground" and not "Ground".
this code wont work if your main camera doesn't set in your scene. get your camera in a public variable and use ScreenPointToRay
public GameObject cam;
void Update ()
{
Ray ray = cam.camera.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
Debug.DrawRay (ray.origin, ray.direction * 10, Color.yellow);
RaycastHit hit;
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit)) {
if (hit.collider.tag == "Ground") {
Debug.Log ("Touch Detected...");
}
}
}
}
