Set Position UI By Mouse Position
Hi,
I need to put a UI image following the mouse. 'the UI image center stay in the point of the mouse.' I used (Input.mousePosition) but it is not exactly the mouse pointer. anyone have any ideas for it?
Input.mousePosition is the mouse pointer, maybe your code is needing a conversion to a different coordinate system; show your code
I think that one should help.
take a look at DragPanel example and anchoredPosition and anchoredPosition3D, use it like this:
image.rectTransform.anchoredPosition3D = new Vector3(my_new_x, my_new_y, my_new_z);
is not exactly the mouse pointer:
GetComponent(RectTransform).anchoredPosition3D = Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, 0);
sorry, maybe this is too late, but perhaps you need to use Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint OR Camera.ScreenPointToRay and Physics.Raycast in conjunction with anchoredPosition3D, documentation has good example
RectTransformUtility.ScreenPointToLocalPointInRectangle can help you
ScreenPointToLocalPointInRectangle(RectTransform rect, Vector2 screenPoint, Camera cam, out Vector2 localPoint);
rect: the parent RectTransform of the UI object you're moving.
screenPoint: your mouse position in screen space
Camera: the camera your Canvas is rendered on
localPoint: set the anchored position of the UI object to this vector
Example:
RectTransform movingUI;
RectTransform parentRect = movingUI.parent as RectTransform;
ScreenPointToLocalPointInRectangle(parentRect, mousePosition, Camera.main, out Vector2 localPoint);
movingUI.anchoredPosition = localPoint;
