Trying to display object name of raycast hit
Hey
All I'm trying to do is get the name of a raycast mouse over. But with this current code, I'm getting Null reference exceptions. Anything I'm doing that's wrong here?
function Update ()
{
var hit : RaycastHit;
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay ( Input.mousePosition );
if (Physics.Raycast (ray, 30) && Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
print (hit.collider.gameObject.name);
}
}
Also for efficiency's sake you should put the raycast in the if InputGet$$anonymous$$ouseButtonDown check, not the other way around, unless you have some other reason to be checking every frame what the mouse is over.
Best Answer
That's because you don't assign the raycast to the hit var. try this:
function Update ()
{
var hit : RaycastHit;
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay ( Input.mousePosition );
hit = Physics.Raycast (ray, 30);
if (hit && Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
print (hit.collider.gameObject.name);
}
}
