Unity: How Do I Center A Mouse To A 3D Player Using Vector3.MoveTowards()?
doing this with a raycast and using the hit.point coordinates. This is the way I want my game to work, but it is a 3d game, so whenever I move the player, using the mouse coordinates, it won't align properly. This is due to the player being 3d and the mouse coordinates being 2d.
Here is my code:
public float speed;
public GameObject player;
private Ray ray;
private RaycastHit hit;
private Vector3 mousePos;
void Start ()
{
}
void FixedUpdate ()
{
ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
{
mousePos = new Vector3(hit.point.x, /*Insert Code*/, hit.point.z);
if(mousePos != player.transform.position)
{
player.transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(player.transform.position, mousePos, speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
}
My question is this:
If I have the player at 1.3f above the ground, how can I manipulate Vector3.MoveTowards so the mouse is centered in the player without affecting the height of the player (1.3f)?
I tried using player.transform.position.y, but it placed the mouse directly under the player (the x and z values worked, but the y-value didn't).
I, also, tried hit.point.y, but it gave me values greater than the player height (1.3f).
