Summon a Prefab

Hello,

how can I summon a prefab, at the position, where I tap on my Smartphone?

 

http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/InstantiatingPrefabs.html
and get the position of where the user touches .. theres a method for that also I cant think of what it is off hand.. screen to world point maybe?

 

I love that you said "summon a prefab".

Just brilliant.

And yeah, MattB79 answer works.

 

Summon? Lol xD, I love it.

Just instantiate it where your finger touches.

 

+1

I think the method should be renamed.

 

Invoke the words of power whilst gesturing intensely, and thy prefab shall be summoned.

 

Expecto Prefabbus!

On a serious note. You need to cast a ray from the camera position in the direction of the tap. When the ray hits the ground instantiate your prefab

Something like (not tested):

Code (CSharp):

1. private RaycastHit hit;  
2.    
3. void Update () {
4.          Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.GetTouch(0).position);
5.              if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
6.                  if(hit.transform.name == "Floor")
7.                     Instantiate(prefab, hit.point,  as Transform;
8.        
9.    
10.      }
11. }
