Question by shay4545 · Jul 26, 2015 at 07:15 PM · uiraycastcanvasshootingcrosshair

How to make a crosshair move with the player

I have a crosshair image on my canvas but I don't know how to get it to follow the player's position. I was told that I could use raycast, but how would I go about changing the crosshair's position according to the raycast of the player?

What do you mean move with the player? Like stay in front of the player in the center of the screen at all times?

If so then you just set its position to 0, 0, 0 and it will stay in the center of the screen.(With the new UI)

I like to use this javascript. All you have to do is attach it to the crosshairs and set target as player. Although it doesn't use raycast it works well. Also if it doesn't line up to the exact spot you want it to you could add + 1 to the end of a line or whatever you please.

 #pragma strict
 var target: Transform;
   
 
 function Update () {
 transform.position.x = target.position.x ;
 transform.position.y = target.position.y ;
 transform.position.z = target.position.z;
 }
