Mouse Pointer in Screen and World Space! Mouse Picking in Unity! ✔️ 2021.1 | Game Dev Tutorial
✔️ Works in 2020.3 ➕ 2020.1
The mouse pointer is essential to almost all PC games. In this video, I show how to get it's position and work with it in screen, viewport, and world space, as well as how cameras affect these spaces. I also explore two ways to implement mouse picking, or how to tell if the pointer is over an object in the world.
