the mouse input is very close to the center of the camera when using perspective, how do i fix that? (works fine in orthographic)

[@NedMakesGames]

Hi! Try increasing the z coordinate you send to CameraToScreenPoint.

great job!!! :D

Thank you, that was very instructive ! I got a question about types you used. What's the difference between a float3 and a vector3 of float ? Is that change something on optimization or is that just a preference ?

[@NedMakesGames]

Hi! I'm glad to help, thanks for watching! Float3 is a new structure added in the Unity.Mathematics package, included within URP and more. I prefer it since it behaves more like vectors in shader code, but it's basically the same as Vector3. Thankfully, C# is smart enough to automatically cast between float3 and Vector3, so you can use them interchangeably.

Ned is it possible to have multiple mouse pointers? There are Windows apps that allow you to have multiple mouse connected to your PC with multiple mouse pointers on the screen. However, can Unity read both mouse pointers?

[@NedMakesGames]

Hi! I don't think this is possible out of the box, unfortunately. I thought the new input system would for sure, but not according to this page: docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/Mouse.html Some people have gotten multiple mice working by reading the raw mouse input stream from Windows. This thread talks about it: forum.unity.com/threads/small-mono-csharp-script-based-driver-for-multiple-mice-support-in-unity.266174/

[@jasontravail8224]

you dont explain code at all -_- wtf ?

[@NedMakesGames]

Hi! Sorry, are you having trouble with any part in particular? This tutorial expects you to have some experience with C# and Unity. Maybe these videos can help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZm0lZ9_e96fh5o or kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6Wwp62opqeIhpo
