[Editor Script] Raycast in editor problem and selection woe's

Hello,

I'm writing myself a tool that let's me place an object on anything that has a collider, properly rotated according to the normal the ray has hit.

Now i got a basic version working where you press a gui button on a custom inspector and then you need to S***+click to place the object. Two things happens: 1) The ray doesnt seem to be coming from the camera for some reason. Objects arent placed where i click. 2) After the script places the object, it will shift-select the target that i clicked as well.

What do? ;(

Code (csharp):

1. public void OnSceneGUI()
2.     {      
3.         if(placingObject)
4.         {
5.             if(Event.current.shift  Event.current.type == EventType.mouseDown)
6.             {
7.                 Ray ray = Camera.current.ScreenPointToRay(Event.current.mousePosition);
8.                 RaycastHit hit = new RaycastHit();
9.                 if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, 1000.0f))
10.                 {
11.                     t.position = hit.point;
12.                     t.rotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(t.up, hit.normal) * t.rotation;
13.                 }
14.                 placingObject = false;
15.             }
16.  
17.             Selection.activeGameObject = t.gameObject;
18.  
19.         }

 

I'm bumping this, having the exact same problem... the ray doesn't seem to hit where I click, it's somehow "Offset" by the camera position or rotation, not sure how.

 

Solved it, the trick is to use: HandleUtility.GUIPointToWorldRay(@event.mousePosition) instead of Camera.current...

 

Thanks, fholm!

 

This problem was driving me nuts! Everywhere i looked told me to use Camera.current..

Thanks for posting this =-D

 

This needs to be referenced in all Camera.current answers. Solved my issue instantly
