Resolved Determine clicked position with OnMouseDown

I believe that for the event OnMouseDown some Raycasting is happening behind the scenes. So is it possible to access the point of where any gameObject/collider implementing OnMouseDown was clicked without doing another raycast but by accessing that "Behind the scenes Raycasting"? Something like:

void OnMouseDown() {Vector3 clickedPosition = eventData.Position;}

Thank you very much.

 

OnMouseDown

is outdated and might be removed at some point in the future. There's also now way to access the raycast that was used to fire the event.

Instead, I suggest you work with the event system:
- If there isn't already an "EventSystem" game object in your scene, create one with the GameObject » UI » Event System menu
- Add the Physics Raycaster or Physiscs 2D Raycaster component to your camera
- Implement the

IPointer*

interfaces you need in your scripts (e.g. IPointerClickHandler), the provided PointerEventData object will have all the information, including the raycast

 

Thank you so much Adrian! I will try your approach.
