Question How do I give an impulse to a game object in the direction of the cursor?

Hi!

I don't know how do I give force to game object in the direction of the cursor!

Now I do this:

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector 3 mouse =
2. (Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - transform.position);
3.  

And give force:

Code (CSharp):

1. public float force;
2.  
3. gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = (mouse * force);

But in this case, the impact force will depend on how far the cursor is from the object. And I need it to be independent. In other words, the object always flies towards the cursor at the same speed, regardless of whether the cursor is close or far away.

I tried doing this:

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector 3 mouse = (Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

That is, I did not withdraw my position. But then the object does not fly in the direction of the cursor, but for some reason a little to the side.

Please help me!

P.s. Sorry for the mistakes, I don't know much English.

 

Hi @Maksym_Pop

You should normalize your direction Vector3 value:
https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector3.Normalize.html

So normalize your direction vector, then multiply it with some value if you want to use that as velocity.

P.S.
When posting code, please cut and paste actual code - now you have typos like "Vector 3" but I doubt you have that in your code...

 

Thank you! Everything works great!
