How to use Ray2d and Raycasthit2d..

Hey,

I have few sprites on the screen and when I click with mouse on them, I want to detect which one has been clicked. I've found a simple script that does it:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. void Update()
3. {
4.     if( Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) )
5.     {
6.        Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay( Input.mousePosition ); //this one here ScreenPointToRay is Vector3, actual problem
7.        RaycastHit hit;
8.  
9.        if( Physics.Raycast( ray, out hit ) )
10.        {
11.             Debug.Log( hit.transform.gameObject.name );
12.         }
13.     }
14. }
15.  

Code above works using simple Ray. As I'm about to do 2D game, I want to use all 2D optimized functions and etc.. Can someone explain, is that possible to detect a hit via 2D functions from mouse click on that particular object?

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. void Update()
3. {
4.     if ( Input.GetMouseButtonDown( 0 ) )
5.     {
6.         Vector2 worldPoint = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint( Input.mousePosition );
7.         RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast( worldPoint, Vector2.zero );
8.         if ( hit.collider != null )
9.         {
10.             Debug.Log( hit.collider.name );
11.         }
12.     }
13. }
14.  

 

Thank Bivrost,

I have this script attached in 3 gameobjects in the scene. So, whenever I click one of them, it gives output 3 times. Do I need to name them differently and check whether this object with some id has been clicked, or there are better ways?

This is your second time helping me) I owe you a beer))

 

Make sure that the script runs only once per frame. Attach it to an empty game object, for example.

 

Amazing.. it works. Great thanks)

 

Hi everybody,
I upgraded my Unity to the last version (4.5), but I am get some problems, mainly with collision.
I tried the code above for detection of Sprites on the screen, but don't worked, as the code I did for the previous version (that had worked) in Unity3D.
Today, my only way to "fix" that, is using the event "OnMouseDown" on my object.
Somebody have the same problem? Or how to fix in another way?

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector2 ray = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.GetTouch(0).position);
2.             RaycastHit2D _hitInfo = Physics2D.Raycast(ray, Vector2.zero);
3.             if (_hitInfo.collider != null)
4.             {
5.                 Destroy(_hitInfo.transform.gameObject);
6.             }
