How to find out which object is under a specific pixel
As simple as it gets:
How to find out which object is under a specific pixel?
For example, something like this:
GameObject ObjectUnderPixel(float x, float y)
{
// algorithm here
}
I'm guessing it has to do with raycasting, but I am not sure how to position the ray.
Thanks

Assuming by 'pixel' you mean a screen coordinate, then the code is mainly here: http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html?from=Input Note the object must have Collider on it
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
var hit : RaycastHit;
if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 100)) {
// Debug.DrawLine (ray.origin, hit.point);
var objectHit = hit.collider.gameObject;
}
