Why does Camera.ScreenPointToRay work crookedly and inaccurately?
video example
I try to hover the player over the cursor, but it does not work exactly, here is the code:
var playerPlane = new Plane(Vector3.up, transform.position);
// Generate a ray from the cursor position
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
// Determine the point where the cursor ray intersects the plane.
// This will be the point that the object must look towards to be looking at the mouse.
// Raycasting to a Plane object only gives us a distance, so we'll have to take the distance,
// then find the point along that ray that meets that distance. This will be the point
// to look at.
float hitdist = 0.0f;
// If the ray is parallel to the plane, Raycast will return false.
if (playerPlane.Raycast (ray, out hitdist)) {
// Get the point along the ray that hits the calculated distance.
var targetPoint = ray.GetPoint(hitdist);
// Determine the target rotation. This is the rotation if the transform looks at the target point.
var targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(targetPoint - transform.position);
// Smoothly rotate towards the target point.
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, speed * Time.deltaTime);
