its not reacting to mousemovement on mobile which means it doesnt update the target.value. how can i make this mobile compitable?

#2

there is no event that is the same as MouseMovement but for mobile. on pc the mouse is always in the game, but on mobile you can just take your fingers off the screen. if you want you can check tap/swipe events. otherwise maybe detect camera movement to compensate althiough it might not work for your case.

so uh how would i make that script mobile compitable

/: i am still looking for a working solution

If you want to get an instance or object then use raycast starting from the camera origin to the front of the camera.

You would have to use params to ignore the character model.
I’m not sure how much you know about raycast but this would be the best option for getting a target .

#7

You’d want to use raycasting from the camera to a certain distance.

If you follow something like this, it should work,
