Hello,
I am using an NGUI widget as a spell bar for a mobile game. This is what I am trying to do:
1. The widget is listening for a touch to start within its collider, for this I am using OnPress(true)
2. For the user to cast the spell the touch will need to be dragged off the widget's collider. I am using hoveredObject to determine when the game object's tag changes
3. Once step 2 happens I want to spawn a gameObject (Non-NGUI object) at the location lastTouchPosition (using PoolManager5 to spawn object, so the object is spawned as a child of my pool manager which is a child of UIRoot)
4. I want the gameObject to follow the touch until OnPress(false)
The problem I am having is step 3 and 4
Is lastTouchPosition is a screen point or a world point? I am assuming screen point. So I am trying to get this to local space.
I take the lastTouchPosition and convert it to a Vector3 and do ScreenToWorldPoint using the UICamera. Then I do transform.InverseTransformPoint and set this value to my spawned object's transform position. My spawned object is way…I mean way out in space. I am confused on how this all works, am I on the right path? I also tried doing this with UICamera.lastHit.point and it is still not working.
Also can I use OnDrag(delta) to have the gameObject follow the touch? I would just add the delta values to the gameObject's transform.
I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions.
Thank you!
