Getting pointer position

Hey guys!

So in my project, I would like to have the exact vector3 points of the position where my pointer is intersecting with the first gameobject.

So far, I was thinking to use GetPointerPosition(rayOrigin), from the interface IUsesPointer, as it is supposed to return the position of the pointer for a given ray origin. But somehow, rayOrigin.position and GetPointerPosition(rayOrigin) is getting me the same output even when I have tried is from multiple location within the game.

Is their any other way to get the pointer position?

 

Hi @KushMathur,

You'll want to add IUsesRaycastResults and use the GetFirstGameObject method.

Hope that helps.

 

Hi @amirebrahimi_unity ,
Thank you for your quick reply!

I did tried it out but GetFirstGameObject()
would be good if I would like to select the gameobject through which my pointer intersects? In my case I wish to get the vector3 coordinates of the point where my pointer intersects any of the gameobjects. I tried to use this code

Code (CSharp):

1. var pointerPosition = this.GetPointerPosition(rayOrigin);
2.  
3.                         Selector = new Ray(pointerPosition, rayOrigin.forward);
4.  
5.                         RaycastHit hit;
6.  
7.                         if (Physics.Raycast(Selector, out hit))
8.  
9.                         {
10.  
11.                             Holes[3] = hit.point;
12.  
13.                         }

And it is working so far. Would their be a better way out?

Thanks!​

 

Nope. Looks good to me.
