screen to would point not accurate

[sweet stratus]

i have a line renderer that will set its end position to where I click my mouse but it goes 0.5 units higher than my mouse

through debuging i am quite sure it is because of the screen to world point

lineEnd = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

it is in 2D btw

Remember that mouse position gives you a z value of wherever the camera is. If you want an accurate point relative to the world rather than the camera, store the mouse position in a vector, then change that vectors Z position to the depth everything else is at

That should get you a more accurate point in the world

would this fix it?

lineEnd = new Vector3(lineEnd.x, lineEnd.y, 0);

if everything else was also at z = 0

[rain wadi]

You want to set the z to zero before passing it into screen point to world point

oh ok

The result should also end up with a z of 0, but it'll also make the x and y more accurate to the real position of everything

I tried this and it doesnt work:

Vector3 mousePos = new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, 0);
lineEnd = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePos);

hello?

are you still there?

Sorry, my power went out for a bit. What is it that you're seeing with the line renderer? Can you send a screenshot of where it is vs where you expect it to be?
