Make static object height match the max height of a bouncing ball in any resolution
I am creating a 2D game where a ball is bounced on a paddle. The paddle can be moved to make the ball move around to hit static objects in the air.
ASCII art:
* => objects to hit
o => bouncing ball
~~~ => paddle

I want the height of the static objects to match the max height of the bouncing ball. I had this working for the default resolution in Unity, but when I created a new resolution for a web project, the static objects were much lower that the bouncing ball height.
I set the static object heights with:
// set in inspector - currently 300
public float height;
void Start () {
// set static object at random x value
Vector2 v = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector2(Random.Range (0, Screen.width), height));
transform.position = new Vector3(v.x, v.y, -1);
}
I set the bouncing ball with:
// set in inspector - currently 7
public float velocity;
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other) {
// set velocity when ball hits paddle
if(other.gameObject.name == "paddle") {
GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(0,velocity);
}
}
I want to create this for Android. The static objects on my Android phone are set so low they cannot even be hit by the ball:

How can I make the static objects’ heights always match the max height of the bouncing ball? A static number from the inspector is obviously not working. Do I need to get it at run time? Is there an easy way to know that?
