Move object where the finger is with an offset in the direction it's facing.

Hi,

I'm making a game that the object is moved with one finger and can be rotated using two fingers.

For making the movement I simply using

Code (CSharp):

1.         if (Input.touchCount > 0){
2.             theTouch = Input.GetTouch(0);
3.             if(theTouch.phase == TouchPhase.Moved){
4.                 Vector2 clickPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(theTouch.position);
5.                 transform.position = clickPosition;
6.  
7. ...

But, the result is not great for me, because the object stays covered by the finger, so I wish to make a little offset, só the finger stays on unit in front of the direction of object.

I tried using
Vector2 clickPosition2 = transform.InverseTransformPoint(clickPosition);
and setting the
transform.localPosition = clickPosition2 + offsett;

but the object stays teleporting in different places on the screen (maybe because it it's making a circular reference?)

What should i Do?

 

You probably want to implement some kind of dead zone?
It shouldn't be too difficult. You have

theTouch.position

, wrap your 5th line in the following:

if(Vector2.Distance(clickPosition, transform.position) > deadZone)

 

Hey. Maybe I wasn't clear on what I was asking. On my game the character moves immediately to the point it was clicked (it is telerpot), since I'm setting the position of the character (

Code (CSharp):

1. transform.position

) to the position of the click on screen. Thats the behaviour I want. So the character moves quickly.
But I want that this "teleport" be in behind the click point (so, let's say the character is facing up, I want he to be teleport to

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector2( clickPosition.x - 1, clickposition.y)

, and if it is facing right I want it to be

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector2( clickPosition.x, clickposition.y - 1 )

and so on. So the character dont stay covered by the finger.
