Object follows point while projecting on a line
Hi everyone,
I have been trying for weeks to find a solution for this problem, but my basic knowledge of vectors makes it very frustrating
I have two points (A and B) which are going to set a patch for a projected point (red dot). The red dot needs to follow point C (being on the same X-axis).
I have tried Vector3.project, but it makes the red dot perpendicular to point C.
projectedPoint = Vector3.Project((C - A), (B - A)) + A;
Does anyone how to fix this? I am sure that the answer must be simpler than I think, but I couldn't find any post related to this.
Thank you in advance.
I found the answer :-D.
The idea is to find the y-coordinate (as we know the x from C). I found the answer here:
so, instead of using a Vector3 projection, it would be finding the place for the red dot.
