Detect mouse over Line Renderer

[bright rain]

Hey, I was wondering if there is any way to detect if mouse is hovering over a line renderer?
If no then what would be the fastest way to get linerenderer closest to mouse position? It's all in 2D view

I don't think linerenderer exposes anything to help with that but you can always iterate over the line and find the closest distance to all of the segments

yeah, that wont work. Basically, I have a bunch of line renderers on the scene and I need to select one thats closest to my mouse

why it wouldn't?

[bright rain]

cuz I would have to do that for all lines and all segments

I think you could also add a mesh collider to your LineRenderer and bake the LR to it - then I think you should be able to do OnMouseOver events

Edit: Or a EdgeCollider2D or PolygonCollider2D and set the points of it to your LR points

Are there many? (about how many segments in total?)
