ViewportPointToRay(Vector3, MonoOrStereoscopicEye)
Returns a ray going from camera through a viewport point.
public Ray ViewportPointToRay(Vector3 pos, Camera.MonoOrStereoscopicEye eye)
Parameters
Optional argument that can be used to specify which eye transform to use. Default is Mono.
Returns
Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Ray |
Remarks
Resulting ray is in world space, starting on the near plane of the camera and going through position's (x,y) coordinates on the viewport (position.z is ignored).
Viewport coordinates are normalized and relative to the camera. The bottom-left of the camera is (0,0); the top-right is (1,1).
Examples
// Prints the name of the object camera is directly looking atusing UnityEngine;using System.Collections;public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour{ Camera cam; void Start() { cam = GetComponent<Camera>(); } void Update() { Ray ray = cam.ViewportPointToRay(new Vector3(0.5F, 0.5F, 0)); RaycastHit hit; if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit)) print("I'm looking at " + hit.transform.name); else print("I'm looking at nothing!"); }}
