Bug Camera.ScreenPointToRay() mouse position moves towards camera

I'm having a problem I have no idea why it's happening. I'm using version 2022.3.2f1 and trying to do a top down shooter. So I get mouse's position but for some reason whenever I move it into certain side it starts to move towards the camera.

Only this function deals with where red ball looks. How can I stop this from happening?

Code (CSharp):

1. [SerializeField] private Vector3 hitPos;
2.     Camera kamera;
3.     [SerializeField] private GameObject mousePos;
4.  
5. //and this is the function that turns character and moves mousePos object
6. void Rotation()
7.     {
8.         Ray ray = kamera.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
9.         RaycastHit hit;
10.  
11.         if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit) )
12.         {
13.             hitPos = hit.point;
14.         }
15.  
16.         hitPos.y = hitPos.y + 1.75f;
17.         Vector3 charLook= hitPos - transform.position;
18.         transform.LookAt(transform.position + charLook,Vector3.up);
19.             mousePos.transform.position = hitPos;
20.     }

(Don't mind the sounds, I was playing Arknights on the background)

 

Your ray is hitting the sphere which is then told to move to the hit point. This causes it to gradually move closer and closer to the camera. Use layers or disable the collider on the sphere (mousePos).

 

Right Pretty obvious from the footage. So each frame the sphere moves to the hitpoint on its own surface (+ that 1.75) so the sphere gets closer to the camera. The next frame the sphere is now closer and you hit it again so it moves further up. Once the sphere moved out of the view, the ray again hits the floor, so the sphere is placed down there again and the whole cycle starts over.

You may want to use either a layer mask to exclude the sphere in the raycast, or remove the collider from that sphere. Though I guess it's just a debug sphere anyways? So just removing it would already solve the problem

 

I can't believe it was something this simple... Thank you! I was having nightmares because of this.
