Input.mousePosition, Camera.main to world space

Hi;

How can I check if my mouse is on the linked text? This works only on GUI/Canvas, not in World...

TMP_TextUtilities.FindIntersectingLink(tmp, Input.mousePosition, Camera.main);

Thanks!

This doesn't make sense, what are you trying to accomplish? The camera and the mouse are in two completely different types of space.

I am trying to make paper from quad with T$$anonymous$$P as child obj with questions.

Here's my current look of part of my code (unfinished)

 for (int i = 0; i < (result.Length / columnCount); i++)
             drawString += "<b>" + (i+1).ToString() + "; " + result [0 + (columnCount * i)] + "</b>\n<link=\"a1\">a) " + result [2 + (columnCount * i)] + "</link>\tb) " + result [3 + (columnCount * i)] + "\tc) " + result [4 + (columnCount * i)] + "\td) " + result [5 + (columnCount * i)] + "\n\n";
         GetComponent<Text$$anonymous$$eshPro> ().SetText (drawString);
 
 
         int linkId = T$$anonymous$$P_TextUtilities.FindIntersectingLink (GetComponent<Text$$anonymous$$eshPro> (), Input.mousePosition, Camera.main);
 
         if (linkId != -1)
             Debug.Log("Heureka");

But when I move mouse to a) answer it does nothing (but in T$$anonymous$$P debug its correctly framed as I need)

If you're using text$$anonymous$$esh make sure to attach a text shader to the object, otherwise the text might exist, just hidden under some textures.

$$anonymous$$y text is shown correctly, just FindIntersectingLink isn't working
