How to get a LineRenderer to shoot from Gun Point to Mouse Position
So i created a LineRenderer to be used a a Laser Gun, it worked fine when I wanted it to shoot from the Gun Position forward but Now that I'm trying to make it go towards the Mouse it mainly just shoots upwards or in a random location. Here is my code so far.
if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
var start = transform.position;
laser.SetPosition(0,start);
var location = Input.mousePosition;
var finish = start + location * 10;
var ray : RaycastHit;
if(Input.GetButton("Fire1") && Physics.Raycast (location, start, ray))
finish = ray.point;
laser.SetPosition(1,finish);
Any help is much appreciated.
You need to do some research into how Raycast are done. You either cast a ray, or you can cast from a world position and direction. Your Raycast() is using a screen location for the position and a world position for the direction. The typical code would look like this:
var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
var hit : RaycastHit;
if(Input.GetButton("Fire1") && Physics.Raycast (ray, hit)) {
laser.SetPosition(1,hit.point);
}
Note this is using the 'ray' version of Raycast().
Thanks, This works when shooting the floor of my $$anonymous$$aze however when I shoot the walls the laser appears like a blur in the middle of the screen, Not starting at the start point and not finishing where the mouse is clicked.
