Hi, I'm trying to get a world point from mouse position. I'm trying to get Camera.main, and use screenPointToRay. I'm new to dots, what would be the correct way to do it?

You using unity.physics in your game ?

#

I suppose you are trying to hit an entity or something like that ?

Trying to hit a terrain and return the ray hit point. I'm aware I should be using dots physics, but wondering if there's any replacement for Camera.screenPointToRay or i have to do it myself

you have to kinda do it yourself

#

you need to do the raycast in the physics world

i actually just have a system that grabs the screenpointtoray and throws the result on a component every frame
