Screen Pick, store point on miss
« on: April 03, 2021, 02:56:10 PM »
I want to get the closest point on miss. Is there a way to get the point there the ray ends on miss?

If I understand what you want, you could use Screen To World Point, which converts a screen position to a world position at a set distance.

Ok, I get it. If the ray misses you use this action to get a point under the pointer at the same distance as the max ray length.

Exactly, sorry, I forgot to be explicit about setting the distance to max ray length. But you got it :)
