[Solved]Relative Mouse pos inside a Rect?

Hello everyone,

im trying to Drag a GUI.Box and having problems with the
x, y position of the box.
how would i get the relative mouse position inside the dragable rect instead of screen position?
i want to avoid that the GUI.Box jumps to the Mouse Cursor Position.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public var x : int; //300 GUI.Box Pos.x
3. public var y : int; //200 GUI.Box Pos.y
4. public var w : int = 333; // GUI.Box width
5. public var h : int = 242; // GUI.Box height
6.  
7. var rect = Rect( x, y,  w, h ); //GUI.Box rect
8. var rectItems = Rect( rect.x, rect.y,  300, 20 ); // Dragable area
9.  
10.             if(rectItems.Contains(Event.current.mousePosition)  Input.GetMouseButton(0)  invScript.MouseTex == null)
11.             {
12.                 drag();
13.             }
14.     else    if(Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
15.             {
16.                 drop();
17.             }
18.  
19. if (dragging == true)
20.             {
21.                 var initPt = Input.mousePosition;
22.                 x = initPt.x - (rectItems.width * .5); // Problem here (rectItems.width * .5);
23.                 y = (Screen.height - initPt.y )  - (rectItems.height * .5); // Problem here (rectItems.height * .5);       
24.             }
25.            
26.  
27.             GUI.Box(rect, "Inventory", GUIStyle ("box") );

Thanks fo any help/hints in advance!.

 

You just need to subtract the XY position of the draggable area's rectangle from the mouse position to get the position relative to the area:-

Code (csharp):

1. var mPos = Input.mousePosition;
2.  
3. var relX = mPos.x - rect.x;
4. var relY = mPos.y - rect.y;

 

Thanks for the hint andeeee!
had to script alot more than 3 lines
maybe its not professional way...
it works perfect in Unity Editor but not in standalone and webplayer guessing it has to do with the screen.height...
gona try to figure out tommorrow!

Thanks so far!.

EDIT :: Solved!
